Today's coffee break episode deals with a listener question regarding how the Body of Christ can support people with mental health and addiction struggles. We do a deep-dive into some really hard questions like: - what does it look like to give prayer and emotional support to someone struggling with mental health or addiction issues? - is there a time when prayer isn't enough? - does it mean that prayer doesn't work if someone continues to struggle with addiction or mental illness despite prayer and petition? - how do you know when it's time to seek out counseling or medication? - is it "unspiritual" to take medication for mental illness or addiction?  If you or someone you care about is in a crisis situation that needs immediate attention, here is some information that can help: NAMI Crisis Text Line – Text NAMI to 741-741 Connect with a trained crisis counselor to receive free, 24/7 crisis support via text message.
