Ellidh's story

'Don't believe the lie that mental illness disqualifies you from serving God. We've been taught by our culture that weakness is bad and we need to pull ourselves together - but the gospel speaks against that at every turn. You can't sort yourself out, none of us can. That's why Jesus had to come.'

Here, former CU Staff Worker Ellidh Cook talks about her own experiences with depression and anxiety, what support she received, and what advice she'd give to students in her position.

How does the gospel speak into ill mental health?

In this video, London Doctor Benjamin Chang gives a short 20 minute talk, explaining what difference Jesus makes to those struggling with ill mental health. If you're wondering how you might tackle this topic at an evangelistic event, or are just curious to know what the Bible says about mental health - have a watch!
