EP. 199 Bonus Episode Called to Counsel Conference 2026 - Mental Health Track Invitation W/Track Leader Jeremy Lelek

Mike is joined virtually by Jeremy Lelek to preview his Call to Council conference track on biblically unpacking mental health diagnoses. Jeremy explains the objective of engaging intimidating DSM categories by describing them from a psychiatric perspective while bringing Scripture to bear on what to do and how to interpret struggles through a biblical anthropology that includes spiritual realities without ignoring physiological and empirical data. The track will cover PTSD, borderline personality disorder, narcissistic personality disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, OCD and scrupulosity, and bipolar disorder, with sessions led by Beth Claes, Dr. Nate Brooks, and Dr. Matthew Lapine. They aim to equip licensed professionals, pastors, and laypeople with practical tools and confidence that God’s Word speaks comprehensively to these issues.00:00 Podcast Welcome00:21 Meet Jeremy Lelek00:43 Track Overview02:06 DSM and Scripture03:28 Diagnoses Covered04:20 Track Team Spotlight07:41 Why This Matters08:21 Church Lens on Labels09:46 Biblical Anthropology10:59 Who Should Attend12:32 Final InvitationEpisode MentionsRegister for the Mental Health Track
