  <description><![CDATA[<p>At Christ Church, we've been privileged to have some amazing conversations with Christian mental health professionals, talking about mental and emotional health, how it intersects with our faith, and why it's important in our lives. Even though mental health is an aspect of our overall health, mental health and mental wellness have not always historically been talked about healthily and constructively in a church environment. Sadly, some people have been hurt by these damaging and unhelpful messages. Our goal with these conversations is to provide a safe space to learn, de-stigmatize, and bring awareness to this important aspect of our health, all with a God-honoring Christian paradigm. We see quickly when we do this that therapy and theology go hand in hand in restoring and supporting mental health.&nbsp;<br><br>We are committed to walking alongside you in your healing.
