Episode 17 | The Mental Health Crisis the Church Must Address

In this deeply honest and compassionate episode of The Kingdom Culture Podcast, our hosts are joined by chaplain and author Dr. Carter Check to confront the mental health crisis that many churches still hesitate to address. Drawing from first-hand experience with high-risk veterans, our hosts discuss how presence, vulnerability, and faith-filled community work to break cycles of shame, isolation, and hopelessness. Our hosts open up about grief, personal loss, and the urgent need for genuine discipleship which walks people through their darkest valleys. With a mix of grace, truth, and compassion, this episode calls believers to stop hiding behind religious clichés and discover true healing through connection, purpose, and the hope found only in Christ.
