Just because someone has Jesus doesn’t mean that they don’t struggle with mental health challenges. 1 in 5 adults in the United States experiences mental illness in a given year.

We’re getting curious about how to design a more developed approach to helping people experiencing mental health challenges.
On this episode of Christian Curious, we speak with Tim Ringquist, Executive Pastor at Deer Creek Church in Littleton, about how to put aside the mask and clearly communicate about difficult matters in the church. Tim believes that just because a need isn’t visible, doesn’t mean it’s not there. He aims to look beyond the neat visage of the suburbs and create space to discuss issues that everyone inevitably faces.
