Faith, Mental Health & Breaking the Stigma: Finding Real Help When Life Feels Heavy

from Everyday Truths · host Everyday Truths

This week’s Table Talk gets real about mental health, faith, and breaking the stigma around asking for help. Sherri and Chamberlain share their own journeys of navigating anxiety, shame, and healing—and why faith and mental health care are not opposites, but allies.We’ll talk about:- Why admitting something is “off” can be the first step toward healing- The pressure Christians often feel when struggling with anxiety or depression- How God meets us in our weakness—and why His grace isn’t dismissive- The practical ways friends, counselors, and community can help carry us when we can’t walk aloneIf you’ve ever felt like your faith should be enough, but you’re still wrestling with anxiety, this conversation is for you.💡 Next steps if you need support today*:- Tell a trusted friend, “I’m not okay right now.”- Take small practical steps that are available to you. For example: Go outside—movement and fresh air can reset your perspective.- Consider visiting your PCP or setting up an appointment with a counselor. - Pray honestly—show up unfiltered with God, no performance required.✨ You’re not weak for needing help. You’re human. And you’re not walking alone.🔗 Stay Connected💌 Subscribe for weekly encouragement: everydaytruths.com/subscribe📝 Read the blog: everydaytruths.com/blog🎧 Listen & subscribe to the podcast everywhere: everydaytruths.transistor.fm/subscribe📲 Follow on Instagram: @the_sherri_richard | @everyday_truths_podcast*If you're experiencing thoughts of harming yourself or others, please seek medical and/or mental health professional care immediately.  National Suicide and Crisis Life-Line: Call or text: 988
