The Depression Epidemic an article from Christianity Today

Last updated on: September 16, 2017 at 6:39 pm   By Adrian Warnock

Today I want to share a quote and link to an article that was published in Christianity Today some three years ago that was linked to by Mark D Roberts this week. My own posts on this subject will return soon: Deep depression is embodied emotional suffering. It is not simply a state of mind or a negative view of life but something that affects our physical being as well. Signs of a severe episode of depression include unfounded negative... Read more

Ed Stetzer writes for CNN about Mental Illness and the Church

Last updated on: September 16, 2017 at 6:39 pm   By Adrian Warnock

Ed Stetzer is one of the most widely respected Christians in the West with a broad appeal that goes beyond most of our tribal boundaries. I have had the privilege of getting to know him personally a bit as well, so I was thrilled to read him speak about  his article at CNN Regarding Mental Illness on his own blog.  I have decided that I will highlight a couple of other articles on mental illness before returning to my own series, which... Read more

Margaret Thatcher’s death – a Christian’s response

Last updated on: September 16, 2017 at 6:26 pm   By Adrian Warnock

It was hours after the announcement that I heard the news that the UK’s first and only woman Prime Minister had died. In life she was always a figure that inspired love by some and hatred by others. It is alway so with every great leader. I hope that in death her impact on this great nation of mine will be re-assessed by all, no matter what political party we come from. There is no denying the massive impact this... Read more

What are mental illnesses? What effects do they have?

Last updated on: November 19, 2025 at 9:23 pm   By Adrian Warnock

In light of the terrible tragedy of the suicide of Matthew Warren, I am writing about a series of questions many Christian families and groups of friends will be discussing. The first post asked “Can a Christian get depression?”  Today I ask two related questions, “What are mental illnesses and disorders?” and “What effects do they have?” Mental illnesses and disorders are incredibly common. If your church is not grappling with the issues mental illnesses and disorders raise, it means... Read more

Can a Christian get depressed?

Last updated on: November 19, 2025 at 7:44 pm   By Adrian Warnock

All over the English speaking world today, as a result of the tragic death of Rick and Kay Warren’s son, many will be having conversations about mental illness. I thought I would write a short series of posts reflecting as a Christian psychiatrist on some of the questions people will inevitably ask. Proverbs 15:13 A glad heart makes a cheerful face, but by sorrow of heart the spirit is crushed. The first question, today, is incredibly easy to answer. Can... Read more

Rick Warren’s son takes his own life due to mental illness

Last updated on: November 20, 2025 at 11:30 am   By Adrian Warnock

The Christian and secular media are reporting the tragic news that Rick Warren’s son has taken his own life after a lifelong battle with mental illness. The Warrens will be grieving and in terrible distress right now. Every Christian reading this should please offer a prayer of support on their behalf. At times like these the love of friends and family will be a great support to them, but will not take away the pain. Rick and Kay need the... Read more

Wait to buy Frank Viola’s new book and get Raised With Christ FREE with lots of other loot

Last updated on: September 16, 2017 at 6:31 pm   By Adrian Warnock

We Christians need to be better at promoting one another’s books. Especially the ones we LIKE! Unfortunately, too often it seems like the best way to get a book sold to conservative Christians is to write something they hate. We then fall in like and say how terrible a book is, and we all like lemmings go out and buy it so we can “defend the gospel” and in so doing propel the latest heretical book to stratospheric levels of... Read more

John Piper’s Final Pastoral Sermon – God Raised Your Great Shepherd from the Dead

Last updated on: June 13, 2020 at 10:12 am   By Adrian Warnock

John Piper preached his last sermon as the Pastor of Bethlehem Baptist church this Easter. And he very appropriately pointed to the Great Shepherd, who is the true pastor of us all. Surely this was a fitting end to a pastoral ministry with massive impact all over the world but its depth was felt most at Bethlehem: It’s Easter. And it’s the last day of my office as shepherd in this flock. We could not have chosen a better day... Read more
