Mental Health

Mental Health

Why is it so hard to feel good? Since Adam and Eve, we humans have pained to know ourselves, to make sense of what happens inside our heads, and to understand why some things feel too hard to fix. How that intersects with family, society, religion, and God generates a more complicated landscape. This month, we are exploring mental health and our inner lives.

Central Questions:

  • The State of Ourselves: How do we evaluate our mental health, and how can we better it?
  • Mental and Religious Health: Does mental health complement, contradict, or complicate religious living?
  • The Human Experience:  Why, despite all humanity has done, does it still feel so hard to get life “right”?
