GOD versus THERAPY: Too Blessed To Be Stressed | The Intersection of Mental Health and Christianity

Summary

This sermon addresses the pervasive issue of mental health stigma, particularly within faith communities, encouraging individuals to overcome the fear of seeking help and acknowledging that mental well-being is not a sign of weakness. It highlights a partnership with Columbia University and the Triumph research study to support Black churches in identifying and assisting those struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, or depression. The practical takeaway is to embrace God's spirit of power, love, and a sound mind, as exhorted in 2 Timothy 1:7, and to collectively end the stigma surrounding mental health.
