His Blood Covers Mental Illness, Too: Looking for Jesus in Times of Darkness

If you’re anything like me, your family and church growing up told you that mental illness wasn’t real and you just needed to pray more. Not only is it incredibly harmful to dismiss someone’s battle with mental illness, but it’s also not a true representation of broken humanity in desperate need of Jesus. I think people forget that Jesus came and died for a reason. Because of sin, there is brokenness in this world. This includes illness and sickness of all kinds.
