Join me, Ruth Hovsepian, as I welcome David Brannock, a former pastor turned mental health advocate, for a powerful discussion about the stigma of therapy, especially within the church community. We shed light on the often difficult relationship between faith and mental health support, confronting the myths that suggest seeking therapy indicates a lack of faith or trust in God's power. With David's unique perspective, we explore the importance of embracing both spiritual guidance and professional counseling as complementary paths to healing and how leaders in the faith community can advocate for mental health awareness and support.

Listen in as David and I tackle the distinctions between therapy and counseling, addressing the church's historical challenges in dealing with personal and familial issues. We stress the necessity of offering understanding and practical tools to those grappling with mental health struggles. The conversation culminates in a heartfelt discussion on creating church environments that encourage congregants to seek the help they need and the vital role of church members in fostering a supportive atmosphere. Don't miss this enlightening exchange that aims to bridge the gap between mental health care and spiritual support, reaffirming that reaching out for help is not just courageous but a testament to one's strength and faith.
