Why doesn’t the church talk about mental health?

In this episode of It’s Going to Be Okay!, we explore why anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, and emotional overwhelm are often ignored—or misunderstood—in faith spaces. Through Scripture, personal reflection, and compassionate truth, we challenge the harmful belief that mental illness is a spiritual failure.

You’ll hear:

• Why the church has historically struggled with mental health

• What the Bible actually says about emotional suffering

• Why prayer and treatment can coexist

• How faith communities can become safer places for honest struggle

If you’ve ever been told to “just pray more,” felt ashamed of your diagnosis, or wondered where God is in your mental health journey—this episode is for you.

Key Scriptures referenced:
Psalm 34:18, 1 Kings 19, Matthew 26:38, Galatians 6:2, 1 Thessalonians 5:23

🎧 This episode offers hope, truth, and reassurance that faith and mental health are not enemies—and that you are not alone.

What does it look like to live a faithful Christian life without pretending—when depression, anxiety, family pressure, money stress, and exhaustion are very real?

In this episode of It’s Going to Be Okay, Nicky Asher-Bowling shares an honest, grace-filled conversation about:

• Faith that makes room for struggle

• Life under constant pressure at home, work, and in relationships

• Why healing is often slow, steady, and sustainable, not instant

• Letting go of shame and performance in your walk with God

• Why you were never meant to carry this alone

This isn’t an episode about fixing yourself.
It’s permission to be honest with God, to name what’s heavy, and to take small steps toward hope—without guilt.

If your faith is real but your life feels overwhelming, this episode is for you.
