Episode Mental Health In The Bible
Dr. Christina Edmondson is convinced that since our brain is part of our body, we need to pursue good “brain health.” Our brains are a gift from God and we need to be good stewards of our brains just like we need to be good stewards of our whole body. So, how do we take good care of our brains? How do we practice good mental health? Join the Discover the Word group this week as Dr. Christina Edmondson takes us to some passages of Scripture that offer mental health best practices, and help us keep our brains healthy.
