Erasing the Stigma of Mental Illness

The 2021 conference theme was Biblical Counselling and Mental Illness. We unwisely and unnecessarily assume that complex problems are beyond our capabilities, entrusting the most troubled people in our culture exclusively to psychiatrists. Christians should be motivated to avoid forsaking the area of “mental illness” as one about which we have nothing to say. Instead, we should move towards the most troubled people in our society with spiritual solutions that will be full of power when the best medical interventions are irrelevant.
