Jesus and Mental Health, Part 3: Vital Connection

Having a safe place with safe people is vital to strong mental health.

Because Jesus inhabits our vital friendships with other Christ-followers with his grace and forgiveness, He empowers those connections to equip us with strong mental health. The symptoms of disconnection are evident, depression/mood; anxiety/fear; acting out/impulse problems; addictions; distorted thinking (negative/worrisome). The outcomes of a vital connection with others who are in Christ are more evident: peace, security, acceptance, truth is spoken in love, fortified resilience, and the capacity to love others as Jesus loves us. This fosters strong emotional health.

Next step: Find a safe place with safe people who follow Jesus.
