When You Can't Say 'I'm not okay' - A Week of Hope and Healing
You're Not Alone in This
"I'm fine."
We say it with a smile. At work. At church. In front of friends. But inside, we're barely hanging on.
Maybe you're struggling to get out of bed in the morning. Maybe your mind won't stop racing at night. Maybe you feel overwhelmed by anxiety, grief, addiction, or a past that still haunts you. Or maybe you've just been feeling... numb.
If that's you, you are not alone.
Why Mental Health Week Matters
For too long, mental health has been the quiet struggle in the church. We're told to pray more, to have more faith, to "just let it go."
What if God isn't asking you to pretend? What if He wants to meet you in the middle of your struggle?
Join trusted Christian voices for honest conversations about:
- Dr. Henry Cloud on how the church can embrace mental health with biblical wisdom
- Max Lucado sharing practical ways to tame anxious thoughts and find peace
- Kyle Idleman on taking every thought captive and breaking free from mental drains
- Sheila Walsh opening up about her personal journey through depression and recovery
This isn't about having all the answers. It's about showing up with your questions, wounds, and doubts and letting God begin the healing work.

Jesus didn't come for those who had it all figured out. He came for the brokenhearted, the anxious, the weary. He came for you, right where you are.
