Ep. 172: Six Myths (LIES) Christian’s Believe About Mental Health

Welcome back beautiful! I’m excited to dive into Christianity and mental health today. I’ve seen so much online and hear a lot about Christian’s shaming other Christian’s for mental health struggles or taking medication, even going to therapy. It honestly has made me so sad and even angry at times- which is why I feel called to address this.
Unfortunately, churches are not talking about this, but today we are! In this episode I dismantle 6 myths (or LIES) that Christian’s believe about mental health.
They are as follows:
Myth #1: “If you have enough faith, you won’t struggle with mental health.”
Myth #2: “Mental illness is always caused by sin or demonic oppression.”
Myth #3: “Christians shouldn’t need therapy—they just need the Bible and prayer.”
Myth #4: “You should be able to pray your way out of anxiety or depression.”
Myth #5: “Joy in the Lord means you should always be happy.”
Myth #6: “Talking about mental health is unspiritual or worldly.”
 
I share many Bible verses in this episode that show us how many Christian’s truly struggled with mental health and they were some of the strongest and most faithful Christian’s whom ever lived, like David and Paul! I hope this episode blesses you, friend!
 
Remember You are so loved, seen, & valued more than you can imagine!
