💡 Mental Health Wisdom the Church Needs to Know
Too often, what gets labeled as “lack of faith” is actually unresolved pain. The truth is:
• Healing is both spiritual and emotional — prayer and processing are not opposites, they’re partners.
• Trauma responses can masquerade as “faithfulness,” but God never asked us to burn out for Him.
• Boundaries, rest, and honest lament are not weakness — they are biblical ways of living whole.
• Numbness isn’t peace, and avoidance isn’t holiness. God desires presence, not performance.
When we reduce everything to spiritual warfare or simple advice, we miss the way Jesus met people — with truth and tenderness.
Real transformation is slow, embodied, and relational. It’s letting God into the messy parts and walking with one another toward wholeness.
🌱 The invitation for the church is this: before we try to reach the world, let’s let Christ reach into us. That’s where building His kingdom begins.
