If you want to be spiritually healthy, you need to be emotionally healthy. You can’t be spiritually mature if you’re emotionally immature. In this message, Pastor Rick Warren continues our series through the book of James by providing 10 commandments for emotional health during a crisis. ——— Listen to Pastor Rick’s daily Bible teaching and subscribe to his Daily Hope email devotional at http://pastorrick.com Connect with Rick!

Hello, everybody,
and welcome back to part
eight of our special study
during the COVID-19 global pandemic.
I’m Rick Warren, Pastor
of Saddleback Church,
author of the “Purpose Driven Life,”
and teacher for the
“Daily Hope” broadcast.
Now, in our previous messages,
I’ve pointed out
that there are actually two
different pandemics going
on right now.
One of them is a physical pandemic,
and the other is an emotional
and spiritual pandemic.
Right now, we’re facing
the disease of COVID-19,
but there’s also the emotional dis-ease
that’s being caused by all
the disruptions in your life.
You see, the side effects of COVID-19
has created unprecedented stress,
and the lives of billions of people
around the world have
been turned upside down.
Long after we have a
vaccine for the disease,
people are still gonna
be feeling the economic
and relational and emotional effects
of having their lives turned upside down.
So, while doctors and
scientists are working
around the clock to find
a cure and a vaccine
for the “disease” or the disease,
pastors and counselors
around the world are working
to help people cope with the dis-ease
that’s caused by people out of work,
