Mental health isn’t a trend. It’s part of being human. And faith has something meaningful to say about it.

Episode Summary:
In this episode of Mental Health Monday, Luke explores why the conversation around mental health and faith matters more than ever. Mental health is not separate from our humanity or our spirituality. It includes our emotions, stress, trauma, personality, and the way we’re wired. Faith doesn’t erase struggle, but it can reframe it, give it meaning, and offer support along the way. When faith and mental health work together, healing becomes more holistic and growth becomes sustainable.

In this episode, we explore:
• Mental health as a core part of being human
• How emotions, stress, trauma, and personality shape our inner world
• Why faith doesn’t remove struggle, but helps us understand it
• What happens when faith and mental health work together
• How this integration reduces shame and supports long-term growth

Why this conversation matters:
When faith and mental health are seen as partners rather than opponents, healing becomes holistic, shame loses its power, and growth becomes more sustainable.

Reflection Question:
Where have you noticed a connection between your faith and your mental health?

Closing Encouragement:
God cares deeply about your inner world. Seeking help, support, or growth is not a lack of faith.
