Is Church Good for Mental Health? (Mental Health & Faith)

Soul Talks With Bill & Kristi Gaultiere

For many, church has had both helpful and harmful effects on their mental health. Church hurt is especially disorienting and sadly leads some to completely give up on Jesus’ body. But it is encouraging that studies show church is overall positive for mental health as God uses his family to bring reparative healing and growth to his beloved children.

Tune in for this episode of Soul Talks as Bill and Kristi share their experience with church and mental health—both their personal story and work with ministry leaders who are learning and teaching psychologically healthy faith. You will discover how valuable church is to a flourishing soul and take courage to engage in communal spiritual practices.
