It’s often whispered aboutduring prayer circles or kept behind a counselor’s closed door. For many pastors, grappling withthe topic from the pulpit is either unthinkable or unnecessary.Struggling with mental health still holds a stigma of shame for believers—one that can keep youfrom admitting a problem even exists while your life falls apart.With scenarios drawn from community stories and Biblical examples alike, Dr. Bill Reeseapplies wisdom and compassion to tackle the complex issues of emotional and mental wellnessin the context of the church.The church can be a safe place for those seeking mental health solutions—starting today!
