Barry Pearman, author, gardner, mental health advocate and former pastor joins me today to discuss his new book, 'Broken To Built', a devotional on the book of Nehemiah, and practical ways we can make space for people with mental illness in the church. Barry shares his own journey and experiences with mental illness and how these inspired him to take practical steps to make churches a safe space for mental illness, and how these steps have borne fruit in practice. Finally, we talk about the story of Nehemiah, and how his story of rebuilding Jerusalem from its ruins inspired Barry, and can inspire us to build a life of faith, living with mental or chronic illness - and how the creative process of writing these books has helped Barry on his mental health and faith journey.

Poema S4 007 | Barry Pearman on Nehemiah &amp; Mental Illness In The Church

In this podcast, you will learn about:   How having faith and submitting to the unknown can provide for better mental health   Steps that you can take to control your anxiety   Daily practices you can add to your routine to “retrain your brain” and build habits   How retaining deep relationships can improve mental health   The need for stillness in your daily practice   On today’s show you’re going to be treated to a conversation with Barry Pearman – who is committed to help people with mental illness find hope and recovery through what he calls “spiritual formation”. In addition to writing about mental health related issues on his website, ‘Turning the Page,’  Barry has also worked as a support worker in his field and as a chaplain/pastor. Barry’s unique perspective marries faith and self-awareness as tools for healing addiction, personality disorders, anxiety and depression. I found this conversation to provide valuable insight into how faith should always be the starting point in dealing with any anxiety and depression. In a lot of ways, this was a therapy session for me as we covered the challenge that making meaningful changes takes time, how to retrain your brain to adopt better habits, and when to find peace and quiet to calm your nerves.   Links from the Show Connect with Barry on  Twitter |  Facebook | Website  Connecting By Larry Crab   Out of the Darkness [eBook] By Barry Pearman BBC The Human Mind Professor with Robert Winston Tao Te Ching  The Bible  Rob Bell Podcast   People Mentioned: Steven Covey Larry Crabb  Richard Rohr  Rob Bell  David Benner
