The spiritual side of mental health

By January 28, 2026 No Comments

MNN’s Katey Hearth and Set Free’s Dean Vander Mey discuss the American Psychiatric Association’s poll revealing a 5% increase in New Year’s resolutions related to mental health. Dean emphasizes the importance of a biblical worldview, contrasting it with a secular one, which often overlooks the spiritual dimension of mental health. Vander Mey also used King David’s story to illustrate how unconfessed sin can lead to physical and mental illness. He highlighted the need for daily confession and repentance to maintain spiritual and mental well-being. Set Free Ministries offers virtual and in-person support, partnering with churches and global ministries to help individuals address spiritual issues affecting their mental and physical health.
