132: Having Mental Health Issues is not a Sin
In this second episode of “An Honest Conversation about Mental Health”, Pastor Adam and Stephanie break down the stigma that mental illness is a sin. Many people believe that mental illnesses are punishment for their sinful behaviors, and that they are too broken to be used by God. Although there are many different types of mental illnesses, even the things that seem to be a hinderance to people can ultimately be shaped by God to make them life-giving. If we read the Bible, we see that it is not a book filled with perfect people who lived perfect lives. Scripture is full of messy people, so if you feel too messed up or too broken, then be encouraged because God specializes in using messy people. *Scriptures referenced in this episode: John 9:1-3
