A Conversation with Dr. Stephen Saunders about Faith and Psychology
Dr. Saunders and Katie conversed about the relationship between theology, our faith, and mental health. Dr. Saunders shared his own story about falling away from the Roman Catholic faith, discovering Lutheranism, and then recognizing a direct parallel between the theology of the cross, the understanding that all are sinners and fall short of the glory of God and can do nothing to earn forgiveness, and the idea that mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of because anyone might suffer from it in the same circumstances. This is an important topic because each year one in five people suffer a mental illness, and throughout the course of a lifetime one in two people will suffer from one. This is especially important for Christians to recognize as they seek to be compassionate and merciful neighbors. Thanks for listening and we hope you enjoy!
