Episode 2 - Mental Health Part 1 with Dorcas Cheng-Tozun

It was so great to have Dorcas Cheng-Tozun (www.chengtozun.com/) back on the podcast (thatmakestotalsense.com/podcast/episode-199-dorcas-cheng-tozun/) ! For this series, Dorcas will join me twice - once as author of Mental Health: Experiencing God’s Care for Our Mind, Body, and Spirit - A 6-Week Interactive Bible Study (www.ivpress.com/mental-health) and another time as co-author of the study we worked on together on the topic of migration (www.ivpress.com/migration) . Up first, the vital topic of mental health. As we discuss in the episode, one of the things that sets this study on mental health is that the study was specifically designed by and for BIPOC Christians (though all will benefit). If you’re part of either, or both, of these communities, you might have experienced a veil around the topic of mental health. Sometimes that looks like shame, other times fear, other times ignorance. What Dorcas and the other contributors to the study share, is that not only does mental health not have to be viewed from those perspectives, but also that it is a topic not hidden in our sacred texts. The scriptures actually have a lot to say about mental health, if we will just lean in and listen. I am so excited to share this conversation with you!
