God Wants You Whole: Overcoming Guilt About Mental Health Meds

Why do we feel like we're failing God when we're actually just fighting a biological battle? I’ve sat with so many brothers and sisters who feel like taking an antidepressant or an anti-anxiety med is a confession that their faith isn't strong enough. They think if they just prayed harder or read more scripture, the "darkness" would lift.

As someone who has seen the intersection of faith and medicine for a decade, I’m telling you: that's a dangerous lie. God created the physician and the pharmacist just as surely as He created the prayer.

The Stigma of the Mind

We don't tell a person with a broken leg to "just pray it back together." We get them a cast. We don't tell a Type 1 diabetic that they lack faith because they need insulin. Yet, when the "organ" that is struggling is the brain, we suddenly get judgmental.

The brain is a physical part of the body. It can have chemical imbalances just like the pancreas or the heart. In the Psalms, we see David crying out in deep emotional distress. He didn't hide it, and you shouldn't either.

Medicine as a Tool of Grace

I believe medication can be a tool of grace. It clears the "noise" so you can actually focus on your prayer life and your family again. It doesn't replace the Holy Spirit; it helps the physical vessel carry the Spirit more effectively.

If you are struggling, please hear me: You are not a "weak Christian" because you need help. You are a human being living in a fallen world with a physical body that sometimes needs repair.

Living in Freedom

The only thing worse than the stigma is the cost. I’ve seen people decide to "just deal with it" because their prescription was $200 a month. That is not the life of abundance God wants for you.

We work to take the financial weight off your shoulders. We help you get those essential mental health medications for $40 a month. You focus on the healing; we’ll handle the paperwork.
