Is mental health just "all in your head," or is there something deeper happening within our physical design? In the premiere of this series, Dr. James Spencer sits down with Dr. Ben Mathew, Professor of Counselor Education, to introduce a revolutionary way of looking at well-being: The Three-Legged Stool of Mental Health.
Weāre moving past the "quick-fix" culture to explore how our bodies, our stories, and our faith are inextricably linked.Ā If you've ever felt like your spiritual life and your physical struggles were at odds, this episode provides the roadmap to wholeness youāve been looking for.
In this episode, we tackle:
The Three-Legged Stool šŖ: An introduction to the Embodied, Social, and Existential legs that support human flourishing.
The "Embodied" Leg š§ : Why we cannot ignore the biological reality of our brains and bodies when discussing faith and psyche.
A "High View" of Scripture & Science š: How to honor the authority of the Bible while embracing the insights of neurobiology and psychology.
The Problem with "Just Pray More" š«: Why reducing mental health to a purely spiritual "check-list" can actually hinder true healing.
Created for Flourishing āØ: Understanding mental health not just as the absence of illness, but as moving toward the "abundant life" God intended.
