Is Mental Illness a Spiritual Battle? - Madness & Grace Podcast S3 EP13

Описание: Is Mental Illness a Spiritual Battle? Mental health struggles affect people in every aspect of life and call for a holistic approach—one that addresses the physical, mental, spiritual, and relational aspects of our being. 🦋

In Season 3, Episode 13 of the Madness & Grace Podcast, hosts Matthew Stanford, Ph.D., and Madeline Stiers, Ph.D., LCSW-S, explore this powerful question—tune in for a meaningful conversation.

🙏 Faith can be a foundation for healing and recovery, but compassion and understanding are essential in faith communities.
💙 Stigma and shame hurt those who are suffering—mental illness is not a sign of weak faith.
🌟 Both spiritual leaders and mental health professionals have vital roles in supporting people on their journey toward hope and healing.

🌟 Know someone who could use a little hope today? Sharing this episode and the podcast is a meaningful way to extend hope to those who may be struggling with mental health concerns. 💙
