Welcome back to Everyday I Grow, the podcast where we explore personal growth, mental health, and spiritual development. In today's episode, titled "

" we have the pleasure of having our guest, Charlie Mitchell, join us in a thought-provoking discussion. Get ready as we dive deep into the intersection of mental health, emotional expression, and the language used in both general culture and within the church.

Charlie highlights the lack of space for emotional integration and expression and challenges the belief that understanding God's complexities alone will help us regulate our emotions. Growing up in the Pentecostal tradition, they share their experiences with personal revelations and the stereotypes often placed on black men within Christian circles. We also explore the role of physical well-being and its impact on spiritual and emotional states.

Join us as we learn from Charlie's personal journey, their struggles with emotional expression, and the importance of vulnerability for young men. We discuss the need for mentors and coaches for guidance, especially for black men, and the significance of pastors leading people emotionally. Charlie also shares their experience in creating a retreat specifically for black and brown church planners, providing them with a safe space to express their struggles.

Stay tuned as we tackle the societal expectations placed on boys and the importance of breaking the cycle. We also explore the impact of emotions and mental health in the context of discipleship, and the resources available for support, including pastors, mentors, and God Himself.

By the end of this episode, you'll be inspired to embrace emotional growth, challenge stereotypes, and explore the importance of expressing your true self. So, let's dive in and discover how every day, we can all grow.
