Church, We Need to Talk

One of the recurring themes throughout Anxious Faith to this point has been one of people who in dealing with their mental illness sometimes coming up against well meaning churches or other Christians, who invariable may hinder more than help. But while many people have had that experience, it isn’t the only one. And in learning how to better address and engage mental health in our faith communities, sharing stories of what to do is just as important as learning from experiences of where we’ve gone wrong. This episode we're speaking to Harrison, a youth pastor at a church in Auckland, who through his own experience with anxiety, has developed a huge heart for making the church and youth group a space where mental health is openly and honestly addressed.  -- Harrison's Church's YouVersion/Bible app reading plan - Wellbeing: An Invitation to a Flourishing Life -- Anxious Faith website Follow us on Instagram Follow us on TikTok Subscribe on Youtube Support Anxious Faith -- Anxious Faith is a production of Our Daily Bread Ministries.
