Sanctuary: Introduction to Mental Health

The topic of mental health has increasingly become an important part of the cultural conversation in recent decades – and rightly so! But does the Bible have anything to say to those struggling with their mental health? Does it give any guidance to those trying to support a loved one who’s struggling? What about just general guidance for paying attention to our own mental health? How should the Church be creating space for open and compassionate conversations surrounding mental health? In this series of classes, we’ll explore all of those questions and more.
