This lecture series introduces a Biblical understanding of mental health, defining many terms and wrestling with several of the most significant challenges that mental health issues bring. The first lecture introduces mental health and explores how our identity issues interact with our mental health (this includes the lecture, "Identity").

This includes a brief summary of each of the main mental health challenges that are commonly diagnosed today. The third lecture applies the Biblical principles from the first two lectures to our own experiences with mental health challenges. Although each lecture is currently 80 minutes, they could be modified to fit 60 minute sessions.
