About this listen

In this podcast episode, we delve into the church's perspective on mental health, exploring its evolution over time and its current stance. We start by discussing traditional views, where mental health issues were often misunderstood or stigmatized within religious communities. The episode highlights the shift towards a more compassionate and informed approach, driven by theological reflections and increasing awareness of mental health science.

The episode also addresses the challenges and resistance faced in this integration process. Ultimately, it emphasizes the church's growing role in advocating for mental health, promoting holistic well-being, and offering spiritual resources alongside professional care, fostering a more inclusive and supportive environment for all.
