There is a significant focus on mental health these days. Whether it's through self-help books and podcasts or through a counselor, you have definitely heard about the importance of keeping up with your mental health. But what does the Church have to do with mental health? How do we, as saints respond to such a considerable rise in negative mental health in recent years? Rick and Brad sit down with Norm Thiesen from Western Seminary to discuss some of the causes of the uptick in mental health issues recently, and what we, the Church, can do to walk alongside those struggling with poor mental health as well as ways in which the Gospel can shape our lives despite having poor mental health. We hope this episode is encouraging to those struggling with their mental health and spurs the Church on to best live in community with those who are.
