The Bible & Mental Health - Part 1
<p>Where should a believer turn first when life grows heavy — to the body, or to God? With this opening episode we launch a new series on Scripture and mental health, drawing a careful line between the clinical and the spiritual.</p><p>We confront two opposite errors: pretending faith makes us immune to grief, and handing every emotional struggle over to the world. We also respond to a trending claim that healing from painful religious experiences must begin with regulating the nervous system rather than turning to God.</p><p>From the man found "clothed and in his right mind" in Mark 5 to the sufficiency of Scripture in 2 Peter 1:3, we make our case: there is soundness of mind in being with the Son of God.</p><p><strong>One note: </strong>this series <strong>does not</strong> address chemical imbalances or serious medical conditions requiring professional care — our focus is the emotional difficulties within our control, and the answers God has given for them.</p><p></p>
