Shalom and Mental Health

Episode Summary

In this conversation, Dr. Warren Kinghorn — psychiatrist and theologian — joins Cyndi to explore the intersections of theology and mental health.

Episode Notes

What does Peacemaking have to do with mental health? Dr. Warren Kinghorn is an excellent guide through the journey of discovery. Dr. Kinghorn challenges modern medicine's tendency to reduce people to "buckets of symptoms" or broken machines to be optimized. Instead he calls for a Christian vision of mental healthcare rooted in the belief that every person matters simply because they are made in the image of God -- not for their productivity and consumption which leads to increased levels of anxiety.
