Real Talk: Breaking the Stigma Around Mental Health in Christianity- Recording

Too often, conversations around mental health in Christian communities are silenced by stigma, shame, or misunderstanding. This powerful Real Talk session invites believers to see mental health through both a biblical and psychological lens.

What you’ll discover in this recording:

• Why faith and therapy are not in conflict but work hand-in-hand.
• Common myths Christians believe about mental illness—and the truth that sets us free.
• How to recognize when prayer alone isn’t enough, and professional support is needed.
• Biblical principles that affirm God’s care for our emotional and psychological well-being.
• Practical steps for creating compassionate, stigma-free church and family environments.

This is more than a talk—it’s a call to courage, honesty, and healing for every believer navigating mental health challenges or supporting a loved one.
