How does mental health and spiritual formation relate to each other?

Summary

Mental and emotional health are integral to spiritual formation. This is underscored by Jesus' greatest commandment, which draws from Deuteronomy 6's Shema, to love God with all your heart, soul, and strength. Jesus expands this by including the mind, emphasizing its crucial role in our spiritual growth, as further detailed by Paul in Romans 12 regarding the renewing of our minds for transformation.
