  • Jill Duggar: What’s On Her Workout Playlist?

    Jill Duggar shared a recent selfie while working out at the gym. The newly married and pregnant 19 Kids and Counting star is 28 weeks along, and recently revealed that she and hubby Derick Dillard are expecting a baby boy.

    Jill also shared recently that one of her pregnancy cravings is sour pickles. Her husband can’t quite figure out why, as he finds them to be rather disgusting.

    Duggar is doing quite well at 28 weeks–still working out on a regular basis–even though she’s regularly indulging in pickles. She likely surprised other young moms-to-be when she divulged what is on her workout playlist, however.

    “Walking at the gym this morning while listening to a sermon by Pastor Rick Warren on the #OnePlace app!” she captioned her gym photo on Instagram.

    Jill Duggar has been staying healthy during her pregnancy. In addition to working out and listening to Rick Warren’s sermons, she recently found a great deal on bananas at her local grocery store. Derick Dillard must have felt the bargain was an amazing one as he deemed it noteworthy enough to post on Instagram.

    He captioned his post, “@jillmdillard got a really good deal on some bananas! ($0.10/ lb) Gonna be great for the little monkey growing inside of her #frozenbananas #savemoneylivebetter.”

    Although Jill Duggar likely has one of the most unusual workout playlists around, kudos to her for staying active and eating healthy while pregnant. She and Derick Dillard will no doubt be blessed with a healthy baby boy–about twelve weeks from now.

  • Rick Warren Works On Mental Health Ministry In Memory Of Son’s Suicide

    Rick Warren Works On Mental Health Ministry In Memory Of Son’s Suicide

    Pastor Rick Warren, author of best-selling book The Purpose Driven Life, is working on a new ministry a year after his son’s death.

    Matthew Warren, Pastor Warren’s 27-year-old son, committed suicide by shooting himself last year. He had been struggling with suicidal thoughts and depression for several years.

    Warren said that he was not going to waste the pain he felt over the death of his son. He believes that most of the time, a great ministry results from the deepest pain. Warren wrote on his journal to cope with his son’s death, and one of the things he wrote was “in God’s garden of grace even broken trees bear fruit.”

    After his son’s death, Warren and his wife Kay received thousands of letters and messages from people sharing their own experiences and struggles with various kinds of mental illness. The pastor, founder of Saddleback Church, will work on the ministry together with the National Alliance of Mental Illness and the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange to spread awareness on the subject.

    About 12 years ago, Warren and his wife also began ministering about HIV and AIDS. Warren says that he thought that was the biggest taboo topic, but now he thinks that mental illness is one of the issues that people must be aware of.

    The conference will open talks on a wide range of mental illnesses including anxiety, bipolar disorder, addiction, and eating disorders, among others. There will also be 20 interactive workshops throughout the conference that are available to all attendees. The conference’s main goal is to provide churches the resources they need in order to aid churchgoers or their relatives and friends who are dealing with a mental illness.

    The Gathering on Mental Health and the Church will be held on March 28 at Saddleback.
