Faith and Mental Health: Mandisa & Laura Williams Break the Silence
We're battling and we are overcoming, and that's what we're going to be discussing on our Out of the Dark podcast.
How often do we hear that faith alone should be enough to conquer our mental health struggles? In 'Out of the Dark', Grammy-nominated singer Mandisa and licensed professional counselor Laura Williams challenge this notion. They argue that while faith is powerful, pairing it with professional counseling can lead to deeper healing and a stronger relationship with Jesus.
This episode serves as an introduction to their podcast, where they open up about their own mental health journeys and what listeners can expect in future episodes. From making social media a healthier space to coping with the mental toll of the pandemic, Mandisa and Laura cover a range of topics relevant to anyone grappling with anxiety, depression, or identity issues. Their approach is compassionate and non-judgmental, emphasizing that mental health struggles do not make one less of a Christian.
By sharing their personal stories and offering practical advice, they aim to break down the stigma surrounding mental health in the church. Whether you're looking for spiritual guidance or practical tips on mental well-being, this podcast promises to be a supportive companion on your journey.
