Notes from Dr. Borkosky

steve swisher pastor

It was never even a thought or discussion.

And so, I looked for what I thought would be an easier route. Zukey Bastien was our show runner and her husband Nick was our editor. You know, that’s where my wife was at. It’s a great time to hang out, have some fun, and breakout into small groups to grow closer to God and your friends. Leave a review. She actually had to see her biological father who was the source of the abuse at the funeral.

JOSH TURANSKY: And this is free! "And just said if you have a need post a need.

Appreciate you so much man. We met 10, 15 years ago. So, thanks for being willing to do this.

So, I ended up finding a church in Virginia Beach. There’s lots of different versions of Baptists. We’re not going to ask anything from you except for just write down words, even if you write down about how you don’t like us. And I thought that was West Palm Beach where I grew up. And so yeah, 2 years in to a replanting of a church. But it takes a lot of hard work, time, and money to do what we do. Steve shares some helpful insights for ministry families struggling with mental health issues and also advises the rest of us about how to relate to those struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts.

You were during church planting and multiplying before the rest of us even knew how to plant a single church. And it kind of came to head one Monday afternoon in July and she said, “I just need to get outside of the house.

And I wish I could find this book. And so, after a lot of talk and 2 years of just her going through therapy, “Okay. CLINT CLIFTON: Most pastors and church leaders I know have an aspiration to write. And so, I went back West Palm Beach and I just kept hitting road blocks in church planting. Currently, Stephen is single. God is everywhere—even in the news. CLINT CLIFTON: We will not do a share-athon like the Christian radio does.

And it was one where, that wasn’t me coming back to ministry, that was just as a pastor often times, that’s just how you process spiritually what you’re going through in your relationship with God. Josh Turansky produced todays show. And of course, our church had a lot of questions and they wanted to know how I was at and you know, what was going on in my life. I’m actually the founding pastor.” And they look at me like, “Well what happened to you?” But the most profound moment I had as a church member of my own church was taking communion. The Students Service incorporates games, music and video to create an inviting environment. I don’t throw out Satan’s name and I don’t talk about you know; the devil made me do it. We’ve got to talk about suicide for a little bit.” So, Clint what were your thoughts? What did people do that was helpful to you in that season in the way that related to you? But one of the points of the article was a study the Clergy Health Initiative at Duke Divinity School found that the pastors experience depression rates at double that of the general population and yet resources available specifically to them are few. Let’s take a break from the regular scheduled episodes that we were going to air and spend a couple of weeks talking about mental health and suicide. But what does that matter now?

When I saw her in the ER, she was completely hallucinating and was not mentally stable. Something else spiritually though that I began to realize, and this is just something you see throughout scripture, is we often confuse the substance of the blessing with the source of the blessing.

I felt that God had called me to plant a church in my hometown.

And so, there’s a church plant that was going for about 5 years at that time, struggling, had about 30-40 people. I don’t even know.

She was my comfort. Again, thanks Steve! What’s happening in this moment with communion, what this represents, is all that matters for Melissa. Doesn’t bother me at all.

I don’t have any problems walking or anything. Wanting to serve even more people in its community, Swisher's Essential Church created a COVID-19 need list on social media. Yeah. MICHAEL CRAWFORD: Absolutely!

There’s a couple of highlights that you identified in the article that you shared with us from the ERLC. STEVE SWISHER: That’s what mental illness a lot of times.

And I struggle with that, I think as every survivor does. One is fear but the other one is, believe it or not, excitement because it’s my opinion that we got to talk about this more. For more information, contact Pastor Ethan at [email protected].

And that sexual addiction moved towards a drug addiction and that was her coping mechanism. CLINT CLIFTON: Yeah well Steve’s been a friend of mine.

CLINT CLIFTON: Well, Mike’s going to speak for himself in just a few minutes. It’s cleaned out, it’s given away, it’s sent to good will, it’s sent to friend, it’s sold whatever. And he has a special art and interest in the subject.

STEVE SWISHER: But probably the most profound understanding came from when Jesus goes to Lazarus tomb. CLINT CLIFTON: And name them church planting podcast which is in fact the name of our podcast. And as you’re climbing up the staircase, you’ll have these days where you’ll walk into the light and you can see things clearly.

Our goal is to teach kids about the love of Jesus Christ in an engaging, age appropriate way. The other thing that was very helpful is actually the psychiatrist that I talked to in the hospital. Celebrate Recovery is a safe place to find community and freedom from the issues that are controlling our life. And eventually, through a series of events, I met my wife at that first church.

If you can meet a need then answer a need. Really mental health issues all together in the church on this subject. Tylenol destroys your liver and you’re in a really bad place for about the first 24 to 48 hours and then there’s sort of a lull.

And we’re left to deal with all the mess.” “He’s in paradise and we’re living through hell.” “It’s just not fair.” And what that was doing was subtly making suicide seem like this entry or this gateway or this, “Wow!

After her brother took his life, she went back down the old familiar path.

You see this person as she was the mother of my children. And it was just that moment where we realized you know, we didn’t just hit 200, we blew right through it. The “could have, would have, should haves” of life. I can’t remember. And we sort of kind of kicked around a few ideas and then later that night my wife and I went for a walk. And so, I never really had an in-depth conversation with Steve about that.

I would say to my kids that, “God’s going to bless us and we’re going to have a great life.” Psalms 27:13 says I would have despaired if I didn’t believe I would see the goodness of the Lord once again in my lifetime. All that matters is that when she came forward to pick up this piece of bread and dip it into this cup, that she was fully aware and conscious of what this means and what this represents and what Jesus Christ has done for her.” And if she missed everything else, every other time she’s been in church, that’s okay. A new solution. It goes back to hurting as intense as it did when you sprained it before. will you receive God’s gift of forgiveness? And the hard part I’ve retraced, as you can imagine, every decision I’ve made in the week leading up to her death. Can you please not just show up and crying in front of me?” And so, you have to understand that grief has sort of cycles to it. And when all that came to light at my first church is when I said you know, “I can’t be in ministry with this.” So, I quit my job and we moved you know, to get to a place of health. And maybe conversely what did people do that was unhelpful? STEVE SWISHER: Essential is, gosh all this hard questions of the bat, 11 years old but it came out of New Hope so I’ve been here since ’05.

Jesus chose to give his life up to pay for the consequences of everyone else’s sin.

STEVE SWISHER: Yeah and so that was our goal. At Essential Church, one of the ways we do this by gathering in small groups, doing life together in authentic community. So, we moved to Birmingham for 2 years and I didn’t know if I was ever going to get back to ministry. And so, thanks for joining us on this episode.

He takes his life.

And she just morphed and moved into that becoming her way of coping. CLINT CLIFTON: Yeah. Brad runs an organization called WadeStone and they’re dedicated to this causes of helping aspiring authors get ready to publish. God is both loving and just.

Meanwhile, Swisher hopes this is just one of the many ways his church can serve those in need during the coronavrius crisis. But grief has cycles. You know, this purse that she really wanted, these shoes that she loved, the shirt that was her favorite, these things that brought her so much joy. And it was from that original Easter message from 2012 and I may have quoted it again in that message you heard.

As light would shine into a hole in the ground, the deeper you are down the less light there is. And came here 2005 and just put our you know, grindstone on it and work and work and work.

Forgiveness for sin is a free gift from God that he wants everyone to receive.

Even if it doesn’t come from the church, and even if it doesn’t come from you, they can still have that sense. If you look at his conversation with Mary and Martha, I never understood that conversation until I walked a road of grief.

It forced me to ask the question of, “What really is salvation?” And I don’t know if I ever really fully answered that question.

And she didn’t want to be the reason why any of it stopped.
