The Healing Pulpit

Is your church ready to talk about mental health? Is it ready to help those who need support? Mental health issues can affect anyone--in fact, the National Institute of Mental Health estimates that over one in five Americans has an identified mental health issue. In this book, Cedrick Von Jackson lays out the groundwork for an effective mental health ministry--one led from the pulpit. He details historic injustices that exacerbate reluctance to seek professional help and provides actionable steps for supporting mental well-being. He illustrates how to use the sermonic moment to encourage people to seek help, while identifying scriptural support for pastoral messages. This practical and relevant resource can help your church build an effective mental health ministry today.
