Is the church doing enough for mental health? 🤔 Let's chat! 💬 #MentalHealthMatters #Faith

Main message: Christians must declare freedom from mental and emotional bondage and the church has a responsibility to compassionately address mental illness rather than shame sufferers. Jesus came to set people free from internal captivity.

Key points:

• Declare your identity in God and independence from mental bondage.
• The church should respond to mental and emotional illness as it does physical illness.
• People can be outwardly free (politically, economically, socially) yet inwardly imprisoned by anxiety, panic, depression, fear, or loneliness.
• For generations the church has often mishandled mental health—telling people to "pray harder" or accusing them of lacking faith.
• Jesus’ mission is to set us free; condemning sufferers is wrong ("the devil is a liar").
