Important reminder:
There is a culture of shame surrounding those who suffer with their mental health in our Christian churches and communities. It silences believers into thinking they’re to blame for their mental health condition.
If you suffer from mental health as a Christian know this:
- You are NOT your condition.
- Seeking professional help doesn’t mean you lack faith.
- Mental illness doesn’t mean God is punishing you.
