EP. 212 Mental Health and the Church Mini-Series: Genesis and Mental Health - Exploring Origins and Healing W/Pastor Matt King

On the Speak the Truth podcast recorded at the Canadian Biblical Counseling Coalition conference, Michael interviews Matt King about his ministry Broomtree and his conference session on mental health in the church. King explains Broomtree’s growth, including increasing requests for counseling, conferences, and free online resources on topics like anxiety, marriage, and thought life, with a podcast launching soon. They discuss why Christians should lead mental health conversations, noting an estimated $280 billion spent annually in the U.S., and ground the topic in Genesis: God’s good creation, the Imago Dei, and how the fall fractured relationships with God, self, others, and creation. They highlight God’s pursuit in Genesis 3, the covering of animal skins as foreshadowing Christ’s atoning blood, and encourage believers who feel inadequate to engage with hope through the Spirit and adoption as God’s children. 00:00 Welcome and Setup 01:29 Broomtree Update 02:41 Conference Banter 03:02 Why Mental Health Matters 04:01 Genesis and Goodness 07:16 The Fall and Fracture 11:34 Covering and Atonement 15:06 Church on the Front Lines 16:25 Hope for the Wounded 18:00 Chick-fil-A Stories 19:11 Final Thanks Episode Mentions Broom Tree EP. 173 Finding Light in the Darkness W/ Matt King
