Mental Health Benefits of Spiritual Disciplines

We can use spiritual disciplines in ways that are healing and helpful or in ways that are ineffective and toxic for our mental health. If we deny or negate our emotions, disciplines are not helpful because they disconnect our deeper self from God and from other people.

Tune in for this episode of Soul Talks as Bill and Kristi discuss the mental health benefits of customized spiritual disciplines. If practiced with emotional honesty, spiritual disciplines tailored to your personality can help you become more aware of your emotions, needs, brokenness, and sin so you can confess them, ask for what you need, and receive compassion and grace where you need it most.
