Certain portions of the Church have refused to engage positively with the reality of mental health issues, claiming that psychology is bad and that things such as anxiety and depression can always be explained away by simply blaming them on "sin." The culture we live in, both inside and outside of religion, oftentimes encourages us to live in mentally unhealthy ways, encouraging thought patterns that produce worry and anxiety. Join us this week as we break down these strongholds by looking at how mindfulness and mental health are woven into the narrative of Scripture.
