This episode features Mercy Lokulutu - author, speaker, preacher, mom of 3, and mental health nurse practitioner. Mercy's passion is speaking about the intersection of brain science and the bible. In our conversation, we talk about everything from the differences in mental health diagnoses, to the biblical references where mental health is addressed, to how we can show up well for those with mental health challenges and take care of our own minds.
