About this Episode

During the month of October we are talking to and about Pastors, in honor of Pastor's Appreciation Month. Today's guest is Psychologist Dr. Jared Pingleton and we have a very serious but necessary conversation regarding mental health among Christian leaders, especially amongst Pastors. Dr. Pingleton offers insightful perspective on mental health and the church as well as how the church should respond to it. He wrote an article (link below) entitled Suicide and the Church where he offers 4 key relatites we must acknowledge.

  1. A church cannot be healthier than its leadership.
  2. A church cannot be healthy if it is not emotionally safe.
  3. A church cannot be healthy if it doesn’t specifically address the scope of human need.
  4. A church cannot be healthy if it is not equipped to effectively minister to specific human needs.
