In this deeply authentic episode of the Gospel Truth Project, host Jason is joined by special guest T.R. Monroe (Tonya) to tackle a crucial conversation the modern church often avoids: mental health, trauma, and the Christian walk. Moving beyond the cultural "stoicism" of picking yourself up by the bootstraps, Jason and Tonya dive into what Scripture actually promises regarding our emotional well-being. Leaving the "happy mask" behind, they explore how God meets us in our brokenness and why our ultimate healing is found in Christ and a Spirit-led community.

Join us as we explore:

• The Resurrected Scars: How viewing our emotional scars through the lens of the resurrected Christ (John 20:27) radically changes the way we minister to others.
• The Church as a Hospital: Breaking the stigma of "fake happy" Christianity and discovering why true discipleship requires a community that bears one another's burdens.
• Elijah’s Despair (Ad Fontes): Looking at 1 Kings 19 to understand how God physically and spiritually comforted a prophet in deep depression, rather than shaming him.
• Faith vs. Feelings: Why faith and emotional struggles are not arch-enemies, and how daily relying wholly on the grace of the Holy Spirit carries us through trials.
