There’s no question that we are in the midst of a mental health disaster in our country and world today. Statistics have revelaed that issues such as anxiety, depression, addiction, and suicide have sored to levels that we have never seen before. Yet, sadly there continues to be a large gap between those needing help and those receiving help. One of the reasons as to why that gap exists continues to be the shame and stigma around mental health care. Many unfortunately, even within faith-based communities, continue to believe the lie that one’s brokenness is equivalent to embarrassment or humiliation. However, as today’s guest reminds us, psychology and theology should not be enemies but instead viewed as allies, because if we do not prioritize our mental health, we may very well be stunting our spiritual health throughout the process. Joining us today is Karl Benzio, MD, a Christian psychiatrist who is board-certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. Dr. Karl has held several health system clinical director and management positions to infuse his unique integration of spiritual faith with science to treat thousands. In addition, he writes, consults, and serves as a frequent media guest expert and conference speaker addressing the impact of a wide range of behavioral health issues and how to bring God’s healing to individuals, families, society, and social policy issues. Our prayer is that through today’s conversation you would realize that true change is not simply found in behavior modification but more importantly is found through spiritual transformation.
