Summary

Take your thoughts captive. The oft repeated response from well-meaning individuals seeking to help those who are experiencing mental health challenges. But...does it mean what they think it means. In this episode, we're going to see where this phrase comes from in scripture, examine it in its greater context, and see whether it helps or hurts. Bless This Brain is an organization dedicated to bridging the gap between churches and mental health help. We tear down stigma through creative storytelling, mental health first aid training, and innovative workshops. We come alongside people as they navigate their recovery journey, ensuring no one who comes to a church seeking mental health help, faces that challenge alone BlessThisBrain.com
