The One Thing

365 Looking after the Mental Wellbeing of Others (Keith and Sarah Condie)

Listen Later

The gospel reminds us that we are sinners, but also broken and fragile people. As people come to church they come with their various mental health issues. Keith and Sarah Condie discuss what is the role of the church in helping people.

  • It is not our job to fix people.
  • Church can be really good for people as they deal with the issues.
  • The importance of watching and listening to people who might need help.
  • Doing something is better than doing nothing.
  • Don't be afraid to ask "Are you thinking of taking your life?"
  • Good questions can be "Are you OK?", "What has helped in the past?", "Can I pray for you?"
  • Encouraging healthy habits can be underestimated.
  • Care for yourself while you are caring for others.
  • Caring for people is a form of growing disciples.
