Lathan Craft – Made for Purpose & Other Side of the Church Podcast

Church is supposed to be a place of love, acceptance and compassion. Yet, for many faithful servants of God, they are looked upon as “Lepers”. They are driven to the shadows of darkness because they suffer from Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar, schizophrenia and even eating disorders.

Often they suffer in silence. 

The church must once again become a place of healing, and not one of heartache.
