E12: How to Minister to Those with Mental Health Needs

  • Summary

  • In this episode of Mindful Faith Moments, host Jason Henry-Ruhl dives into a topic that many Christians struggle with—how to effectively minister to those dealing with mental health challenges. Mental health conversations can feel overwhelming, especially when we fear saying the wrong thing or offering advice that doesn’t truly help. But there are simple, compassionate ways to show up for the people in our lives who are hurting.

    Jason shares practical, faith-based insights on how to approach these sensitive conversations, starting with the importance of listening. You'll learn why avoiding platitudes like "just pray about it" is crucial, and how recommending professional resources can actually be a key part of your ministry. Jason also talks about the power of praying with someone rather than simply for them and why consistent, long-term support is vital.

    Whether you're a pastor, leader, or simply a friend who wants to help, this episode is filled with practical steps you can take to make a real difference in someone’s life. Tune in for a conversation that will equip you to minister to those struggling with mental health needs in a way that is both compassionate and effective.
