#74: Men and Mental Health with Pastor Gregg Curry

God & Therapy Podcast

In today's podcast episode, I am highlighting men's mental health. Men's mental health has been neglected for years. According to society, men are expected to be strong, and in control of their lives. This can be overwhelming for most men and the need to change this perspective should take place now with wisdom and resources. For many years men have felt the pressure to perform at their highest, not show feelings and be sad. Their feelings are not given a space and place and they are groomed to man up and shake it off. It was said that real men do not show their feelings for this is being soft and the question has been asked, "Who wants a caring man?". Pastor Curry shares his struggles as a pastor and how his feelings are valid. Leading people is not easy, however, it is important to trust God at all costs. As you sit and listen to this podcast, to hear about the multiple deaths and loss of health, and preaching can make one question God. Pastor Curry's honesty and calmness will have you sitting still to hear the family stories he shared and still trust and love God.
