Biggest Mental Health Myths In Church (Destroyed)

Biggest Mental Health Myths in Church

When the church gets it wrong

Sadly, the church can mirror culture by falling into extremes. On one side, we may dismiss mental‑health struggles as a lack of faith or prayer. Ed Stetzer warns that some leaders assume mental illness is caused by spiritual deficiency, leading to spiritual abuse when they tell sufferers to “just pray it away.”

Steve Austin shares that in his evangelical congregation, if you couldn’t “shake off” depression, you were told you weren’t praying enough; he even hid his medication because he feared judgment. Research shows that most pastors rarely talk about mental health, and many congregations have no plans to help families affected by it

In this environment, medication and counseling can be viewed with suspicion or even outright hostility.

On the other side, some in our culture glorify mental illness, treating it as an identity badge. Neither extreme helps. 

The truth lies somewhere in between: mental health challenges are real, complex, and not a sign of weak faith. The brain is an organ like any other; factors such as nutrition, exercise, and sleep affect its health. Competent therapy and appropriate medication can be gifts from God. Trusting God doesn’t rule out doctors or medicine. Prayer, worship, and Bible study remain invaluable, but they’re enhanced—not negated—by counseling, medication, healthy eating, and sleep. As the church, we must acknowledge mental illness without glorifying it, encourage spiritual practices without dismissing medical ones, and offer compassion and support to those who struggle.

Myth #1 – “Christians shouldn’t struggle with mental health.”

Truth: You can love Jesus and still battle anxiety, depression, trauma or burnout. God cares about your mind and is committed to your wholeness.

This myth crumbles when we consider Elijah’s story. After a spectacular victory over the prophets of Baal (1 Kings 18), Elijah was threatened by Queen Jezebel and fled into the wilderness. Exhausted, frightened, and discouraged, he asked God to let him die (1 Kings 19:4). God didn’t rebuke him or tell him to “just pray more.” Instead, He met Elijah in his depression with compassion and care. An angel provided food and water, then allowed him to sleep. Later, God revealed Himself not in dramatic signs but in a gentle whisper (1 Kings 19:11–13), reminding Elijah that He was still with him in the quiet moments of despair. Elijah’s story shows that even faithful heroes can face mental-health lows—and God doesn’t shame them; He meets them there and renews them. This makes the myth that Christians shouldn’t struggle with mental health not just harmful, but biblically unfounded.

Verses to remember:
1 Thessalonians 5:23–24 – God sanctifies you completely—body, soul and spirit.
Isaiah 26:3 – He keeps in perfect peace those whose minds are stayed on Him.
Psalm 42:11 – David asks, “Why, my soul, are you downcast?” showing that even the faithful struggle.
1 Kings 19:4–8 – Elijah is so despondent he wants to die; God meets him with rest and nourishment.

Myth #2 – “Anxiety means you don’t trust God.”

Truth: Anxiety is a signal, not a sin. It invites us to bring our worries to God and trust Him to carry them.

One of the most compelling ways to refute the idea that anxiety or depression signals a lack of faith is through the testimony of people we know who embody deep trust in Christ yet wrestle with mental health. One of the godliest people I know, a person whose life radiates grace, has fought depression for years. His love for Jesus is unmistakable: he prays faithfully, studies Scripture deeply, and lives out his faith in acts of service. Yet his struggle with anxiety and depression has not disappeared.

What’s most striking is how his affliction hasn’t undermined his faith; it has refined it. His prayers are more honest, his empathy is deeper, and his dependence on God is more evident because of his battle. He often shares how he clings to passages like Philippians 4:6–7, casting his anxiety on Christ and receiving a peace that surpasses understanding, and 1 Peter 5:7, trusting that God cares for him. 

Instead of viewing depression as a sign of spiritual failure, let's see it as a place where Christ meets us and continues to shape our lives. 

His life is a living rebuttal to the myth that anxiety means you don’t trust God; it shows that genuine faith can persist—even flourish—through mental‑health struggles, and that our weakness is often the very place where God’s strength becomes most visible.

Verses to remember:
Philippians 4:6–7 – Present your requests to God and His peace will guard your heart.
1 Peter 5:7 – Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.
2 Chronicles 20:3–12 – Jehoshaphat turns his fear into prayer and praise.
Psalm 55:22 – Cast your burden on the Lord and He will sustain you.

Myth #3 – “Depression means there’s something wrong with your faith.”

Truth: Depression is complex and doesn’t disqualify you from God’s love. Your feelings are valid but not permanent; God’s compassion is new every morning.

Myth #3 often springs from a well‑intentioned but ultimately misleading message: “If you just live right, pray more, and trust God, everything will be perfect.” That’s not what Scripture teaches. Sometimes we sell Jesus like a quick fix or an escape from all troubles. Well-meaning pastors and friends might encourage people to accept Christ because they believe He will make all their problems disappear. But when depression, anxiety, or hardship inevitably arise, believers can feel confused, ashamed, or abandoned—thinking their faith must be deficient.

The Bible never promises us an absence of suffering. In fact, it warns us that trials and sorrow will come. Jesus Himself said, “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). Following Him doesn’t shield us from pain; it means we never face pain alone. An article on God’s promises notes that God did not promise “days without pain” or “laughter without sorrow,” but He did promise strength for the day and comfort in our tears. Isaiah 41:10 reminds us that God is with us and will uphold us, while 2 Corinthians 1:3‑4 calls Him “the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort”.

So the myth that “if I just do everything right, my mental health will be perfect” is not only unrealistic—it’s unbiblical. God invites us into a relationship where His presence sustains us through depression and anxiety, not one where He exempts us from them. Our faith doesn’t guarantee smooth sailing; it guarantees a faithful Captain in the storm.

Verses to remember:
Lamentations 3:21–23 – “Yet this I call to mind… His mercies are new every morning.”
Psalm 34:18 – The Lord is close to the brokenhearted.
Romans 8:38–39 – Nothing can separate us from God’s love.
1 Samuel 1:10 – Hannah weeps in bitterness of soul before the Lord.

Myth #4 – “If you worry, you lack faith.”

Truth: Jesus acknowledged our tendency to worry and offered a better way: trust your heavenly Father. Worry reveals where we need to grow, what's bothering us, and things to contemplate, not how much faith we have.

We often equate “faith” with flawless certainty—believing without doubts or anxieties. That misunderstanding leads some to condemn any hint of worry as evidence of weak faith or divine displeasure. Yet Scripture and experience show the opposite. Emotions aren’t switches we flip on and off; they’re part of how God made us. Fr. Jim Van Vurst addresses this common concern head‑on and answers emphatically: “NO!!! It is not a sign of a lack of faith when we worry”. True faith is rooted not in our shifting feelings but in our heart’s choice to trust God. Even Jesus, facing the cross, prayed in agony and fear. To pray and trust in God while feeling afraid or worried is, in fact, “a sign of great faith”.

Everyone worries about something. That doesn’t make us faithless; it makes us human. The key is how we respond to those worries. Instead of letting anxiety drive us to despair or denial, we can see worry as an invitation to lean harder on Christ. The Bible repeatedly calls us to cast our cares on Him (Psalm 55:22; 1 Peter 5:7) and to trust God with all our heart (Proverbs 3:5‑6). Jesus’ own invitation is, “Come to me, all you who are struggling hard and carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest”. As author Alicia Bruxvoort notes, when we bring our burdens to Jesus, He lightens our load. Sometimes that looks like daily rhythms of prayer, reciting Scripture to shift our focus, or simply admitting our needs.

Faith doesn’t dismiss our worries or treat them as failure. God doesn’t punish us for feeling anxious. Instead, worry can become a tool God uses to teach us deeper trust. The Bible encourages us to grow in faith and lean more on Christ so our burdens become lighter. Rather than a spiritual indictment, worry is an opportunity to draw closer to the One who promises rest.

Verses to remember:
Matthew 6:25–34 – Do not worry about food, clothes or tomorrow; seek first God’s kingdom.
Luke 12:22–31 – God cares for the ravens and lilies; He cares for you.
Psalm 46:10 – “Be still, and know that I am God.”
Philippians 4:8 – Think about things that are true, noble, and praiseworthy.

Myth #5 – “Your thoughts control you.”

Truth: Thoughts are powerful, but they aren’t the boss of you. The Holy Spirit empowers you to renew your mind and take every thought captive.

Our minds often feel like runaway trains. Unwelcome thoughts seem to appear out of nowhere, and at times it can feel as if we’re passengers rather than drivers. This myth feeds the lie that we are powerless against our thought patterns. In reality, Scripture and neuroscience both affirm that we can redirect our thoughts. As one author notes, “Your life moves in the direction of your strongest thoughts”. Left unchecked, consistent thoughts become actions, actions become habits, and habits shape our character. That’s why Paul calls us to “take every thought captive… to make it obedient to Christ”.

Yet taking thoughts captive isn’t passive. It requires consistent, intentional direction and a steady diet of truth. A devotional on spiritual input uses the “garbage in, garbage out” concept from computer science to illustrate this. If we allow garbage to fill our hearts and minds, we reap anger, envy, and other destructive behaviors. But if we let God dwell in our hearts, follow His word, seek His help in prayer, and surround ourselves with Christ‑like people, our attitudes begin to display the fruit of the Spirit. Paul echoes this when he urges us to think about whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and praiseworthy.

In practical terms, that means feeding your mind with Scripture, prayer, and worship. Colossians 3:2, Philippians 4:,8 and Romans 12:2 all remind us to set our minds on things above and be transformed by renewing our minds. The battlefield is what we allow in. When we dwell on God’s truth—through daily reading, meditating on verses, singing worship songs—we gradually replace unhealthy thought loops with life‑giving ones. When worry or negativity pops up, we can counter it with a verse or a prayer. Over time, the input of God’s Word and the practice of prayer and worship reshape our thought patterns. Our life really will move in the direction of our strongest thoughts—so let’s make sure those thoughts are anchored in God’s goodness.

Verses to remember:
Romans 8:5–6 – The mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.
2 Corinthians 10:5 – Take every thought captive to obey Christ.
Philippians 4:8 – Meditate on whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely and admirable.
Psalm 103:1–5 – David tells his soul to praise the Lord, reminding himself of God’s benefits.

Myth #6 – “Trauma means you’re broken beyond repair.”

Truth: Trauma wounds deeply, but it doesn’t define you. God is the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort; He can bring purpose out of pain.



Verses to remember:
2 Corinthians 1:3–4 – God comforts us so we can comfort others.
Romans 8:28 – He works all things together for good.
Isaiah 61:1–3 – He binds up the brokenhearted and gives beauty for ashes.
Psalm 147:3 – He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

Myth #7 – “Burnout means failure—you just need to try harder.”

Truth: Burnout is a warning light, not a badge of honour. Even Elijah burned out; God’s response was rest, give him food, and a gentle whisper.

Verses to remember:
1 Kings 19:3–12 – Elijah runs to the wilderness; God gives him sleep, food, and a still, small voice.
Matthew 11:28–30 – Jesus invites the weary to come to Him and find rest.
Psalm 127:2 – “He gives His beloved sleep.”
Mark 6:31 – Jesus tells His disciples to “come away… and rest a while.”

In summary, mental health challenges are on the rise, but they’re not a failure of faith. The church must avoid both romanticising mental illness and dismissing it. We honour God when we embrace spiritual practices and the common graces of counseling, medicine, healthy habits, good sleep, and supportive community.

If you’re searching for a Christian church in Kernersville, NC, or googling “church near me” hoping for something real, something refreshing, something life-giving, Passion Church might be exactly what you’ve been praying for. Over the past several weeks, we’ve been walking through a powerful teaching series called Pre-Decide: Better Choices, Better Life. And if there’s one thing we’ve learned, it’s this: "The quality of your decisions will, by and large, determine the quality of your life." This isn’t just self-help—it’s biblical truth. And at Passion Church Kernersville NC, we’re learning how to make better decisions not based on our emotions, pressure, or past failures—but on God’s purpose and truth. What Is "Pre-Decide" About? We’ve all made decisions we regret. And most of the time, it’s not because we’re bad people—it’s because we weren’t ready when the moment came. We reacted instead of responding. But what if you could pre-decide your values, your boundaries, and your direction before life put you on the spot? That’s the heart of this series. “When faced with ______, I have pre-decided to ______.” This simple declaration has helped so many people in our church build new rhythms of spiritual strength and personal integrity. It’s helped people overcome temptation, step into generosity, grow in consistency, and draw closer to Jesus. Why Pre-Decide? Because life is too important to drift. Because the world is full of distractions and options that look appealing in the moment but lead to regret in the end. And because you don’t rise to the level of your intentions, you fall to the level of your decisions. Here are just a few core truths we’ve explored together: 1. When your values are clear, your decisions are easier. If you don’t define your direction, the world will define it for you. At Passion Church, we’re learning to live by God’s values, not culture’s suggestions. 2. You don’t win in the moment—you win before the moment. Whether it’s temptation, conflict, or spiritual habits—deciding beforehand how you’ll respond makes all the difference. This is how Daniel in the Bible stayed faithful under pressure (Daniel 1:8, Daniel 6:10). 3. You are not your emotions—you are who God says you are. We live in a world that teaches us to follow our feelings. But Scripture teaches us to follow Jesus. Pre-deciding based on God’s identity and purpose for your life sets you free from emotional whiplash and spiritual stagnation. 6 Decisions That Can Change Your Life Each week at Passion Church, we’ve made bold declarations that reframe how we live: I am ready. (I will be prepared when temptation comes.) I am consistent. (I will do what honors God again and again.) I am devoted. (I will seek God first.) I am generous. (I don’t wait to give—I plan to give.) I am faithful. (I will multiply what God has entrusted to me.) I am a finisher. (I don’t quit when it’s hard.) And in our new Week 6 addition, we’re declaring: I choose joy. (No matter what, I will rejoice in the Lord. – Philippians 4:4–9) This Isn’t Just About Self-Discipline—It’s About Spiritual Transformation Pre-deciding isn't about willpower. It’s about identity. You are who God says you are. You are loved. You are chosen. You are called. And when you anchor your decisions to the truth of who He is and who He’s made you to be, your life changes from the inside out. This series has been a game-changer for our church family—and we believe it could be a game-changer for you too. A Church Near You That Feels Like Home If you're looking for a church near me that teaches the Bible, loves people deeply, and challenges you to grow in your faith, Passion Church Kernersville NC is here for you. We’re not interested in playing church—we’re here to be the Church: bold, joyful, real, and passionate.

This is my church family, not all know me, but they treat you like family. The members say hello, smile at you, make you welcomed.

Believing, trusting, and obeying God, being generous, and helping others in need - that is what it's all about - and that is what you will find at Passion Church.” – Ed P. “From the moment you get out of your car, someone is there to welcome you before you enter the building. I dare say that if you are not greeted by at least 10 people on the way to your seat, you had to try to avoid them. This is the most welcoming church that I have ever seen. Not only that, the people are authentic and not just putting on a show. The workship is raw and real. The messages are shared with love and a genuine heart full of compassion for Jesus and people. I am proud to call Passion Church my church home.” – Paul B.

Made New: The Power and Purpose of Baptism There’s a moment in every believer’s journey that marks more than just a personal decision—it marks a divine transformation. Baptism is that moment. It’s more than a ritual. It’s more than a tradition. Baptism is a command from Jesus, a celebration of new life, and a powerful expression of the salvation we’ve received. If you've ever wondered why baptism matters, let’s explore its incredible significance together. A Commanded Step of Obedience Jesus didn’t leave baptism as an optional expression of faith. In fact, one of His final commands to the disciples was this: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit...” — Matthew 28:19 Baptism is not just a symbol—it’s a sacred step of obedience. It’s how we publicly say, “I belong to Jesus.” When we go under the water, we identify with Jesus’ death. When we rise out of the water, we proclaim His resurrection power alive in us. The Moment of Washing and Receiving Scripture takes it even further. Baptism isn’t just a public sign—it’s also where something supernatural takes place. In Acts 2:38, Peter declares: “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” What a breathtaking promise! Baptism is the biblical moment where the stain of sin is washed away—not because of the water, but because of the work of Jesus. It’s the moment we receive the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit, empowering us to live a new life, full of purpose and passion for God. A Line in the Sand — A Flag in the Ground Baptism is not just for the brand-new believer—it’s also a powerful point of rededication for those who have drifted and are ready to return to Jesus with their whole heart. Sometimes we need a moment to say: “This is it. No more compromise. No more wandering. I’m all in again.” Baptism can be your defining moment. It’s the spiritual act of planting your flag and declaring, “From this point forward, I am living for Christ—unashamed, unafraid, and unshakable.” Whether you’ve walked with Jesus for years or just come back after a hard season, baptism can serve as your holy reset. A declaration to your family, your church, the enemy, and even to your own soul that you are His. Not Just a Step—A Statement Baptism is a line in the sand. It boldly proclaims: “I’ve been raised to life. My past is gone. My future is in Jesus.” It’s the wedding ring of our relationship with Christ—an outward expression of an inward commitment. It tells the world, “I’m not who I used to be. I’m brand new in Christ.” Why Wait? If you’ve accepted Jesus but haven’t taken this step, know this: Baptism is not about being perfect. It’s about being obedient. It’s not the finish line of faith—it’s the starting line of a Spirit-filled life. Whether you're being baptized for the first time or coming back to rededicate your life to Christ, this moment can be your defining spiritual milestone. Don’t let hesitation rob you of what God wants to do in you—and through you—right now. You’re Invited If you’re ready to be baptized—or even if you just want to learn more—we’re here for you. At Passion Church, we believe baptism is a party in heaven and on earth. Every time someone takes that step, we rejoice like crazy… because we know the power of what’s happening. Let this be your moment. Be made new. Be washed. Be filled. Be baptized.The body content of your post goes here.

I will never forget an encounter that changed my life. For this blog, we’re going to say it was a day I was talking with Tammy. Tammy was a teen I had been working with at my gym, training her in self-defense and fitness. She was precious—tender-hearted, kind, smart, and full of promise. All the reasons her dad wanted her to be equipped to protect herself in today’s world. Over the years, we built a strong friendship. She was like a little cousin to me. But one day, she came in visibly upset. We went through the workout as usual, but something was off. Jokes fell flat, silent tears were shed, and her whole demeanor had shifted. At the end, I gently asked if something was wrong. It was like a dam broke. Tammy opened up and shared something deeply personal—she was struggling with homosexual thoughts and urges. Wanting guidance, she had confided in her pastor. But instead of compassion, she was met with condemnation. She described nearly two hours of being berated, judged, and warned she would burn in hell if she didn’t repent. He told her she could no longer serve at the church if this was the path she’d chosen. But here’s the thing—she hadn’t chosen anything. She was experiencing confusing emotions and looking for help. She loved the church. She loved her friends there. She loved Jesus. She came seeking understanding and got rejection. That was the last time she set foot in that church. I sat there, heartbroken and angry. Tammy wasn’t rebellious—she was wounded. She needed grace, not a spiritual beatdown. And there I was, a Bible-believing Christian and conservative church pastor, holding the tension of truth and compassion in my hands. I believed in the biblical view of sex and marriage. But what about grace? What about loving her through a confusing season, mentoring her with wisdom, helping her process powerful emotions—not by affirming them as right, but by acknowledging them as real and pointing her toward Jesus? That day, something changed in me. I knew that something had to shift. And it needed to start here—with a new way of thinking. One rooted in Jesus. One that starts with grace and leads to truth. Why Grace Comes First Jesus modeled this for us. Whether it was the woman caught in adultery, Zacchaeus the tax collector, or Peter after his denial, He led with compassion before correction. He didn’t ignore sin—but He didn’t start there. He met people with grace first. Because grace softens hearts. It disarms fear. It invites relationship. That’s what we want people to experience at Passion Church. Whether it’s their first Sunday or their first time back in years, we want them to know: there is grace for you here. Grace Isn’t the End Goal But grace isn’t the destination—it’s the invitation. Because grace without truth may comfort us for a moment, but it will never transform us for eternity. Truth without grace leads to Hell—but grace without truth doesn’t exist. That might sound bold, but it’s biblical. If we base our salvation on truth alone—just law, just right and wrong—then we fail every time. Romans says, “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” If truth were the only measure, then by truth alone, we are all heading toward separation from God. But grace steps in. Grace makes a way. Yet grace that ignores truth isn't love. You cannot love someone and withhold the truth from them. That’s not compassion—it’s cruelty dressed in kindness. It’s like this: imagine I tell my daughter not to touch the electrical outlet. I warn her over and over. I even smack her hand away when she reaches for it because I love her and want to protect her. But then I walk away, and she touches it. She gets hurt. When I come back, I don’t shame her—I comfort her. I care for her, tend to her wounds, and get her the help she needs. But imagine if, at the end of that moment, I said, “Honey, if the light socket makes you feel good, go ahead and touch it again.” That wouldn’t be love—that would be abandonment. Love protects those it loves. Love accepts the mistake, but it doesn’t affirm it. That’s the heart of Jesus. Grace wraps its arms around you in your pain, but truth gently guides you toward freedom. We need both. Leading to Truth Truth isn’t a weapon—it’s a key. It unlocks the door to freedom. Jesus said, “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (John 8:32). We don’t use truth to shame—we use it to shepherd. At Passion Church, we believe you don’t have to sacrifice love to speak the truth, and you don’t have to water down truth to be loving. We walk with people through real struggles—just like Tammy—and we don’t abandon them to those struggles, nor do we affirm the lie that they are defined by them. We mentor, we guide, and we let the Holy Spirit do the heart work that only He can do. This is what real discipleship looks like: walking together, in grace, toward truth. What This Looks Like at Passion Church It looks like real stories—of redemption, healing, and restoration. It’s the single mom who finds community before anyone asks about her past. It’s the teenager wrestling with identity who finds love before receiving direction. It’s the addict who walks into a service hungover and walks out full of hope. From our welcome team to our worship, from the sermon to the follow-up, every part of our church culture is built to reflect this value: we start with grace, and we lead to truth. Why This Matters The world is confused about love and truth. Some churches speak truth so loudly they forget to love. Others love so broadly they forget to speak truth. But we believe the Gospel is better than that. Jesus meets us where we are, but He never leaves us there. And as His church, we’re called to do the same. At Passion Church, our mission is to help people become fully alive in Jesus. That starts with grace. But it never ends there. Final Invitation Maybe you’ve felt the sting of truth without grace. Maybe you’ve been handed grace without direction. Maybe you’re like Tammy—longing for a church that sees the struggle, speaks the truth, and never lets go of your hand in the process. If that’s you, know this: you are welcome here. There is grace for you. And there is truth that will change everything. Let’s walk that journey together.
