Throughout scripture, we see faithful people experiencing the full spectrum of human emotion:

David’s despair,
Elijah’s exhaustion,
Hannah’s grief,
Job’s suffering.

Meanwhile, the latest studies show nearly 1 in 4 American adults experience mental illness and nearly half will meet criteria for a diagnosable condition in their lifetime.

For anyone navigating mental health challenges: your struggles don’t diminish your faith or place in God’s family. Often, your journey brings unique insights we all need.

 For everyone: healing happens in community where we understand mental health in its complexity—biological,
emotional, relational, and spiritual.

Join us as we move from silence (and even stigma) to a place of support, where both struggle and hope are held together in Christ.

The reality is - even devoted, faithful followers of Jesus can struggle - with wounds, with weakness, with emotional and mental health. These things do not separate us from Jesus. They are an invitation to receive more of Him. And we, as the Church, want to seek God’s heart and His truth in our new series, The Gospel & Mental Health.
