Faith and Mental & Emotional Health

Within the Church we have far too few conversations about the intersection of mental health and faith. However, neither Jesus nor the Bible are silent on the matter. We should not be either. Matt & Sara can help your church and community through the challenges of tackling these topics and loving others well.

Matt and Sara are committed to raising awareness about mental health issues and reducing the stigma associated with mental illness. Sara works as an individual and couples therapist, and Matt has experienced the challenges of living with bipolar disorder.

Through personal stories and insights gained from their own journey, Matt & Sara’s professional and personal experience offers a unique perspective on coping with and living with mental illness in a Christ-centered home. With a deep understanding of the challenges and struggles of mental illness , Matt and Sara are able to provide faith-based insights and practical advice to individuals, families, and communities.

They are passionate about creating a safe and inclusive space where individuals can share their stories and feel supported in their walk with Jesus. Together, they provide engaging and thought-provoking talks that explore a range of topics related to mental health and faith, including:

  • Overcoming stigma and shame: We speak candidly about the stigma and shame that often accompany mental illness and provide strategies for overcoming these challenges.
