This episode hosts Megan Powell du Toit and Michael Jensen question their mental stability.

Mental health has been a key conversation during the COVID crisis. People have argued for and against various public health measures by referring to the mental health effects. There has been a widespread understanding that a viral pandemic will have mental health costs as well.

Yet quite often, it is still those people 'out there' - those 'other people' we need to look after. And there continues to be an unhealthy tendency to give spiritual answers to mental health issues. Wouldn't it be better to delve instead into what it is to be people of faith dealing with mental health issues?

Michael and Megan get personal about how experience interacts with our theology and ministry, talk to clinical psychologist Sarah Hindle, and read together a recent novel by an Australian author which centres on a protagonist with mental illness.
