The Bible as a mental health resource
Verses about trauma:
Life is riddled with experiences, some that rock us to our very core. Even faith can carry scars. Church hurt, past relationships, weaponized faith used against us can all pull us away from belief. Here, if you want and are able, you will find verses to address how God can heal the hurts that people have put on our shoulders. See our "Verses of Guidance" for a complete list.
Verses about hope:
Even the most well rounded person exist in this sometimes hopeless feeling world, the growing weight of societal failures crushing us at every turn. We have listed verses written to inspire the parts of us that feel burnt out and unable to carry this alone. See our "Verses of Guidance" for a complete list.
Verses about suicidal ideation:
Yes, the Bible shares stories of people who had the same very real feelings as some of us, wanting to die and seeing no joy even in moments others might. Our Jonah study focuses on not only the wild tale of his life, but his constant feelings of agony in the midst of miracles. See our "Verses of Guidance" for a complete list.
Understanding Biblical times:
Context matters, especially in the parables Jesus uses to explain His mission and ministry here on earth. Our New Testament and many Old Testament studies help to paint a picture of the era, practices, and give the readers a cultural understanding of the Times each book was written in.
Free guides for all:
"Freely you have received, freely give." Matthew 10:8
We took that seriously and while our products may not be all free, every study, guide, and resource provided here has been made possible by the generosity of the many people who helped work on this project. Feel free to download, copy, or screenshot any Bible content here.
