In today's episode, Director of Mental Health Coach Phil Smith Welcomes John Eklund (LCSW) of Recovery Alive to the podcast. John explains how his church uses Mental Health Coaching to break the stigma surrounding mental health and meet people where they are.

Having a mental health ministry is important in your church is essential. 1 in 4 people in the U.S. struggles with a mental illness and 70% of the people who seek out a counselor go to the church to ask for help before going seeking out a professional counselor. Most of these churches are not equipped to handle this. Why would the church send someone to a secular institution when they could offer the solution? Christians are Christ’s ambassadors. When we say the church can’t help, people think God can’t help. The Church is at the front lines of the mental health crisis.
