Faith and Mental Illness

from Rebranded Christianity · host Nayamka Ward

There is a sense of hopelessness that can set in when we see someone in our lives experience a serious mental illness. This hopelessness ultimately can lead to rejection and relational abandonment. This is a fact about mental illnesses - they are treatable medical conditions; recovery from a mental illness is possible. One of the components of the recovery process is friendships and relationships; therefore, that person in your life whom you might have abandoned because you believed there was no hope for them actually needs a relationship with you to help them recover. In this teaching, I will share how God used a popular story from the Gospels to help restore hope and faith within my heart so that I would have a relationship with a person in my life who is living with a mental illness.

World Religions, Cults and The Occult - Video Get A Life Media, Billy Crone There's a lot of confusion in the world about religion, and what the right path is. Whether it's Judaism, Christianity, Islam, etc., there must be an absolute path to take since all religions are diametrically opposed to each other. Is it one God? Or many gods? Are all the names equating to the same spirit? Or is it all a mixed bag of confusion? Since God is not the author of confusion, this series will make it absolutely clear by unraveling the truth behind each and answering the hard questions.
