Working Out Salvation

This time we interview my (Conor) good friend and former pastor Robert Terrell. Robert is a Southern Baptist pastor (he's one of the good ones), a chaplain for businesses, and a lover of basset hounds a Bama. Yeah yeah, roll tide or whatever. We discuss Pelagianism, Gnosticism, goat heads, and grace. So naturally all bases are covered when it comes to mental health. We had a lot of fun with this one and we hope it's encouraging and gives you new ways to see mental health and Jesus.

We're joined by our good friend and priest Jens Notstad. Jens shares a pastoral response to mental illness, taking a slightly different approach than we were anticipating (don't worry, it's a good approach!).

In which Conor shares his story of following Jesus while suffering from mental illness. 

Noah, Abbie, and Conor discuss Luke 8:26-39 and the relationship between Jesus' interaction with the demon-possessed man and mental health. Book referenced: "Darkness is My Only Companion" by Kathryn Greene-McCreight.

Conor, Noah, and Abbie sit down to a general discussion of Christians and mental health. Why are some Christians so skeptical of modern psychological care? How have or haven't churches addressed mental health issues? How do we deal with mental health struggles, both for ourselves and with those we love, while following Jesus? Book referenced: "Darkness is My Only Companion" by Kathryn Greene-McCreight.

We continue our discussion on Christians & mental health with an interview with our friend Abbie Werner. Abbie released her single, "Beauty from Ashes" on October 10th, 2020 which was World Mental Health Day. We discuss her experience with following Jesus in the midst of mental health challenges and how music has been a gift, both for the Church and for her to process mental health struggles.
