MMITN Clergy and Depression (and/or The Absence of Mental Health) in the Pulpit: Is this a Reality?

Clergy is defined as the body of all people ordained for religious duties; people who are the leaders of a religion and who perform religious services BUT one thing that is left out of this definition is the fact that CLERGY are HUMAN BEINGS.

Why is that important to note? Because humans experience all sorts of emotions, feelings, even depression, etc., and that includes clergy!

This episode is part 1 of 3 where I discussed this sensitive topic with Apostle Deon Hunt, Sakal the Center: Chicago. This is an uncut, raw and transparent dialogue that will clue you in on what it really is that clergy may have to deal with in their position and how they are possibly handling it….

Enjoy this segment and stay tuned for parts 2 and 3!

Is Racism so deeply embedded within the minds and the society of the United States, that it is virtually impossible to escape?
