Who’s Presenting?
MindFit is co-presented by Pastor Alex Rodriguez and a local moderator. Before entering the ministry, Pastor Rodriguez had a successful career as a health educator, firefighter, and police officer.
Drawing on his professional background, Pastor Rodriguez’s compelling documentary-style presentations combine on-location footage, expert interviews, first-person stories, and historical and scientific research. There’s lots to explore, and he’d love to share what he’s learned with you! Following each documentary presentation, a local moderator will lead an interactive study and discussion on the session’s topic.
Why You Should Attend MindFit
It’s not “all in your head.” Mental illness is a harsh everyday reality for millions of people. Many know someone affected, but few understand what their friends and neighbors are really experiencing. Or know how to help.
Join Alex Rodriguez on a journey to better understand the challenges so many face today. Along the way, you’ll meet men and women who have grappled with depression, anxiety, and other common mental conditions—and the skilled practitioners whose methods are helping them find encouraging breakthroughs.
Their stories will educate, inspire, and provide hope to those struggling as well as to those who love them.
