Mental health awareness in this day and age has come a long way: conversations about mental health have been normalized and it has increasingly been made a priority in our workplaces, education systems and communities. But what about in the Church?

Is there validity to the school of thought that mental health issues are symptomatic of a deficiency in our spiritual lives? How do we reconcile God's endless love and omnipotence and the suffering we may endure in carrying a mental illness? What practical steps can we take if we think that our mental health might be suffering, and in what way can we support those around us who might be suffering?

Tune in as your hosts are joined by the incredible Fr Elijah Iskander of St Mark's Church in Sydney to discuss these points and more in the first part of the TRM Mental Health Series.
