Mental illness has traditionally been a tricky topic inside some churches — and continues to be so today. Christian Post reporter Nicole Andrea Alcindor shares her research on the topic, what the Bible has to say, and her own experience.

"There's often a misunderstanding in many of our global church leaders to date," she said. "Many church leaders continue to mischaracterize or stigmatize mental illness as a spiritual issue."

Alcindor takes listeners through misconceptions and breaks down biblical stories that can help Christians better understand this dynamic. Listen to this powerful episode of "The Inside Story."
