Conversation and Dinner With Special Guests:  David and Kelly Cochran<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcome to our 50th <\/sup>Episode!  Hopefully by now, you feel at home around this weekly table of hope and good news. Since we launched on Resurrection Monday 2019, it has been one entr\u00e9e of encouragement after another.  That\u2019s a recipe we all could use a little more of as we face this momentary crisis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is Holy Week.  The last week of Jesus\u2019 earthly life was a rollercoaster of highs and lows that shattered on a Friday we now call \u201cGood.\u201d  When Jesus died on a cross that Friday afternoon, no one could see how any \u201cgood\u201d could ever rise from that.  Sometimes our journeys follow similar courses.Today\u2019s table is set with grace.  Before the quarantine, I was honored to share a meal with Special Guests David and Kelly Cochran and share in one of the most sacred conversations I have ever had.  Almost two years ago, David and Kelly\u2019s son Max took his own life after struggling off and on with mental health issues for 19 years. At a time when the world is hurting, we need to especially look after those who\u2019s everyday lives feel as anxious as ours do now.  This is the first of a two-part story that will resume next week on Resurrection Monday. Thank you for joining us.  www.maximizingmentalhealthinc.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
