"I Feel Therefore I am"????
René Descartes' phrase "I think, therefore I am" (Cogito, ergo sum) is a foundational statement in modern Western philosophy. Theologically, it presents challenges due to its emphasis on subjectivity, skepticism, and the reduction of the human soul. However, what if Descartes' statement were "I feel, therefore I am"? What challenges might arise from a statement like that?
Our thoughts and feelings play a vital role in shaping our identity. When we cultivate healthy thinking patterns and develop the capacity to integrate our emotions, we can significantly improve our overall quality of life. On the other hand, when we grapple with distorted thoughts and fail to process our feelings, we may find ourselves struggling with chronic anxiety and depression. This contrast highlights the importance of nurturing a balanced mental and emotional state for our well-being.
As the Holiday season approaches, we acknowledge that Life can be full of blessings and challenges, and it’s important to care for your emotional and spiritual well-being along the way. That’s why we invite you to join us for an Emotional Health Check, a special opportunity to pause, reflect, and renew your heart and mind.

Plus, cheese and wine will be served as we come together in fellowship to make the evening even more enjoyable.
This event is for you if you want to strengthen your emotional well-being or enjoy meaningful connections within our community. Let’s take this step together as a community, reminding ourselves that God’s love and grace are with us in every season of life.
Prayerfully,
Der Nareg
