In this eye-opening episode of FCC Talk from First Christian Church, hosts John Rose and CJ Mustin dive deep into four pervasive myths about mental health that many Christians believe – and why they're not supported by Scripture. Drawing from biblical truths like Psalm 34:18 and John 11:35, they address misconceptions such as "God doesn't care about my feelings," "I just need more faith," "Mental illness isn't real," and "Taking medication means lacking trust in God." With personal anecdotes on depression, anxiety, and seeking help, they emphasize compassion, validation, and the role of therapy and meds in a faith-filled life.

Whether you're struggling with emotional distress, supporting a loved one, or curious about a Christian perspective on mental health, this conversation offers hope and practical insights. Learn how the church can better support mental wellness without judgment.
