INTRODUCING SOUL TALK
Soul Talk is a series of 8 free videos created by Soul Tour to help Church life groups develop healthy vulnerability with each other and grow in their understanding of several important mental health and relationship topics.
Each episode of Soul Talk begins with an introduction to the topic by counsellor and author Belinda Stott. Three individuals then share their personal journey with the issue at hand, then it's back to Belinda who provides an abundance of practical tips and insights on how to find healing and support others in need.
The Soul Talk video series is provided free of charge right here on this page (all 8 videos below) or play them from our YouTube channel www.youtube.com/@SoulTourVideos.
Soul Talk was produced by our friends at Discipleship Pathway. Check out their amazing resources at www.discipleship.nz
Life groups that choose to run the Soul Talk video series are encouraged to consider purchasing a deck of Soul Talk cards ($35) for use in their group.
Why not incorporate Soul Talk into a church-wide series discussing mental/emotional health in a Christian context. A growing number of churches are doing this and reporting incredible results.
