In the journey of life, loss and the associated emotion of grief are inevitable. As Christians, how do we juggle our experience of grief with the inspiration the Bible has to offer? If the inspiration is "not enough" to get us through, what does it say about our faith? As Christians experiencing loss/grief, is it okay to turn to mental health professionals, or all we need is in the Bible?

Some Christians feel or believe that as a christian, they should never have mental health issues or challenges. To people who hold this belief, mental health issues are a sign of lack of faith, or some form of weakness.

Are Christianity and mental health issues/concerns really mutually exclusive, or there is a connection? Does Christianity have any effective remedies for mental health concerns? For Christians experiencing mental health issues, do therapists have anything to offer, or is faith alone to get them through? Find the answers in this episode of the series "Christianity and mental health"
