Today on Sunburnt Souls, we delve into the complexities of faith and mental illness, exploring the tension between spiritual transformation and persistent struggles with negative thought patterns. We start by questioning why, if God can renew our mind, spirit, and body, we still find ourselves trapped in the same unhealthy mental processes. Despite receiving the Holy Spirit, experiencing divine intervention, and holding onto a deep-rooted hope, the weight of mental illness often feels at odds with the joy and freedom promised in our faith.
We then tackle the challenge of understanding mental illness in the context of its various causes—genetic, biological, environmental and psychological. When it comes to genetic predispositions, we ask if it's possible to overcome them, and why mental illness is often treated as something that should be "fixed." We also wrestle with the notion that if our struggles persist, it might be seen as a lack of faith or even divine punishment. This leads to a reflection on whether it's okay to accept that suffering might be a part of our life's purpose, and if so, how we find peace in that acceptance.
Finally, we confront the characteristics of mental illness that many of us live with—anxiety, sadness, anger, selfishness, envy, and isolation—and how these traits mirror sins mentioned in the Bible. The discussion centres on differentiating between behaviours caused by mental illness and those we might have allowed to take root in our lives. We also consider how we can still love others well and maintain meaningful relationships, even when mental illness threatens to pull us away from community.
