SOL#50: Finding Purpose out of our Pain: Can my Faith and Mental Illness Really Intersect? An Interview with Susie Gurley of the "Just A Mom" Podcast Speak Out Loud

    • Mental Health

We are so thrilled in today's episode to be joined by friend and mental health advocate, Susie Gurley!

Susie is the host and creator of the "Just A Mom Podcast" where she talks with other parents and guests about the mental health issues kids face. Susie's voice on this topic began in some of the darkest days of her and her family's lives but have ended with hope - and that's the hope she seeks to share.

Today's episode is a conversation with Susie about the role her faith has played in her family's mental health journey and the ways her family's mental health journey has deepened her experience and trust in God.

Maybe you'd had thoughts or questions like the ones we talk about in this episode:

I'm a Christian yet I struggle with mental illness. I love God and want to follow Him, yet my mental health is often dark, depressed, anxious and overwhelmed. What should I do?

Is it ok for a person of faith to also include therapy, medicine and other professional treatment as part of their mental health journey?

Can I truly separate and isolate my mental health from my spiritual life? Does God care about my mind and my mental pain?

Join us as Susie helps us answer these questions and more.

If you've struggled with how to intersect your faith and your mental health journey, if you've been hurt because of the path you've chosen or if you've doubted, in light of your pain, that there can be a God who loves and cares for you, we're glad you're here - these episodes are for you.
