Mental Health, Spiritual Healing and the Church

Mental Health problems are the leading cause of ill health around the world and the body of Christ is not exempt. The Lord Jesus healed the mentally ill at the start of his ministry (Matt 4:24), therefore God’s servants must be equipped to effectively minister to not just the spiritual needs of people but their mental health challenges as well. While facilitating psychoeducational workshops, Dr Wilson offers a cognitive behavioral therapeutic approach to intervention that is not just clinically excellent, but biblically based.
