I want to look at just a few of these common beliefs associated with emotional distress and offer an integrative perspective that may help us to advance both the gospel and emotional wellness.

"Give people a reason to follow Jesus, not more reasons as to why they want to avoid Christianity all-together."

"How we respond to the people who offend us, well, that can have an eternal consequence."

Let's retire this phrase immediately, and say what we really mean instead.

"I’m a firm believer that Jesus came to reclaim culture and not abolish it, but this doesn’t mean we need to water down His message so that it’s easier to swallow."

"Prayer works" and two other phrases that give Christians a bad name...

"We all would rather monologue then dialogue and this means we have to be content with our stereotypes about each other. It’s nonsense, and I’m opting out."

"It’s what we emphasize, as leaders, as Christians, as the Church: speed, efficiency, acting. These are not bad qualities in and of themselves, but solely emphasized they dry up the human spirit and turn us into stressed-out versions of our intended selves."
