A Quiet Mind to Suffer With, with John Bryant

Send Us A MessageWhat does the Gospel of Jesus Christ have to say to those who wrestle with mental illness? This month's Lexham Press book of the month arrested Matt's attention. It's like Augustine's Confessions in a contemporary idiom as a really profound searching exploration of one man's personal experience of OCD and his identity in Christ. So, today Matt and Alastair talk to the author, John Bryant. You will better understand how to simply be with a person with mental illness in a way that is best for them.
