Episode 231: Helping the Youth of the Church with Their Mental Health
Feb 02, 2026
Helping youth with mental health can feel scary. What if you say the wrong thing. What if you make it worse. What if you don't know enough.
You do not need perfect words or professional training to make a difference. You need presence. Empathy. And a willingness to listen instead of fix.
Listen in to learn what actually helps struggling youth feel safe and supported, what well-meaning phrases can quietly cause harm, and how to normalize real support without shame. We also cover when it is time to involve professional help and why taking mental health seriously is an act of faith, not a failure of it.
If you care about youth and want to show up better, this episode is for you.
