Summary

For many Christians who have struggled with mental health challenges, either personally or accompanying loved ones, the church has often been a place of conflicting messages. Do we just need Jesus or can therapy help? Are we allowed to talk to God in that way or about those things? Am I weak or sinful? Questions like these and others have surrounded mental health care, but the good news is, it’s getting better! And one of the main reasons is because therapists and other Christian mental health professionals, like my guest for this episode in the series Bianca Hughes, who are helping fight the stigma and shame associated with seeking help and are opening the doors for honest conversations leading to healing. I was so encouraged by this conversation as we explored faith and mental health and I hope you are too! Be sure to check out Bianca’s panel conversation below, as a featured additional resource for the Mental Health bible study.
