In this episode, we tackle mental health and how the church responds to people in the midst of “hell on earth,” as Dallas describes in sharing his experience. It’s estimated that as many as 1 in 3 people wrestle with some form of mental health struggle. That means when you sit down in church on Sunday morning, if it’s not you, it’s one of the people next to you. The church MUST be a safe haven for people who need help. It can be, and it should be, but there are many within her walls that just don’t understand. We hope you’ll listen in and join us after to keep talking.
