Christianity and Mental Health - Bruce Wesley (Sermon)

Summary

The sermon addresses the sticky subject of mental illness, particularly in the context of the "perfect storm" of isolation, financial stress, and fear amplified by the pandemic, as evidenced by a survey showing a significant increase in mental illness rates. Key references include the work of psychologist Jean Twenge and common mental health conditions like anxiety and depression. The practical takeaway is that Christians are not immune to these struggles and the sermon aims to normalize these discussions for better mental health support.
