May is Mental Health Awareness month. We need to break the stigma in the church. This week, we want to focus on spreading acceptance and support for the people we know and love who are experiencing mental health challenges. It's a false assumption that a Christian is always “happy”. A Christian can struggle with anxiety, depression, and mental health issues and yet have the joy of the Lord.
For example, the famous British preacher, Charles Spurgeon, considered the Prince of Preaching, battled throughout his life with depression. Spurgeon's sermons are saturated with Christ and dripping with the Gospel. No one would say that Spurgeon was depressed because he didn't have enough faith in Jesus. We do our fellow brothers and sisters who have mental health struggle a disservice by implying to them that they don't have enough faith.
When it comes to mental health, small actions equal big impact (send a text, make a phone call, send a card, etc.). If you are worried about your mental health or are worried about someone you know, there are resources and people out there and in this church who are willing to help, no matter what your situation is.
