The Church’s Role in Mental Health
What does the Bible say about Mental Health?
While the stigma of mental health mixing with faith can deter us from fully embracing it, we’re reminded of what God has to say about mental health. Dr. Chris Adams joins Laura Howe to give credibility to faith as an intricate link to mental health.
The church serves as a helpful resource for those who may feel unseen, underrepresented, and unserved. It’s becoming clearer and clearer that, in order for humans to flourish, we need community, purpose, and love–and what better institution than the church to offer these necessary components of mental health?
Listen to this podcast for an encouraging conversation about the healthy mixture of faith and psychology as we pursue health and wholeness for our communities.
