Death and Life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.
How can churches truly support those grappling with mental health issues? In this episode of 'The Intersection of Spirituality, Psychology and Theology', the conversation takes a deep dive into the role of the church in mental health. With 1 in 5 people experiencing mental health problems and a staggering 60% of these issues going untreated, the church often becomes a first point of contact for many seeking help. But how well-equipped are churches to handle these crises?
The guests share their thoughts on the importance of being trauma-informed and stress the need for compassion, prayer, and a non-judgmental approach. They recount personal stories and highlight how sometimes, churches fall short in providing the necessary support, leading to feelings of shame and misinformation among those seeking help. This episode calls for churches to be more understanding and better prepared to offer a safe, supportive environment.
If you're curious about how faith communities can make a real difference in mental health, this episode is a must-listen.
