Ep. 46: From Anxiety to Peace: A Christian Consideration of Mental Health

There are normally two camps when it comes to mental health: embrace it or toughen up. Since Covid, the number of people struggling with mental health issues has spiked and continues to climb. In a world that grows increasingly more secular per day, the search for the antidote for this growing epidemic has come up fruitless. Dr. Ed Welch, a psychologist and licensed counselor joins host Joseph Backholm to wade into the weeds of the mental health crisis. From a biblical worldview, they dissect the difference between spiritual warfare vs. living in a fallen world, emphasize that we were designed to need help, and how to properly handle our complex emotions. Our Creator wants to know what’s on our hearts, talk to him and lean into his peace and promises.
