Pastors often find themselves at a loss when called upon to provide help for church members suffering from mental health issues. Not only do they not have the time necessary for such endeavors, but their experience in seminary typically does not prepare them for these kinds of challenges. Finding no other alternative, pastors often make referrals to those trained in secular psychology. Often, 'Christian' therapists differ little from their secular counterparts.
According to James Serio M.A., publisher of MentalHealthSolution.com, this is often a big mistake: "The Bible has much more to offer than most pastors realize."
Mr. Serio states that the Bible provides answers for anxiety, depression, hallucinations and more. He argues that only the Bible provides an accurate description of what these conditions are and why they exist.
