Speaker: Dr. Maria Kraemer
Explore the intersection of faith and mental health and see how a vibrant prayer life can help reduce your anxiety. Together, we’ll explore different views on integrating spirituality and mental health, as well as a brief overview of the church’s historical approach to soul care. We’ll discuss what Biblical study and psychological research have to tell us about the role of prayer in our daily lives, how to approach both normal worry and clinically significant anxiety from a theological framework and how the modern-day church can support soul care and emotional healing.
