T. Dale Johnson Jr. explains why the local church remains the primary place where struggling people can receive lasting hope and healing. In The Church as a Culture of Care: Finding Hope in Biblical Community, Johnson argues that God designed every function of the church to contribute to soul care and restoration.
Designed for pastors, elders, counselors, ministry leaders, and lay members, this practical resource addresses the stigma surrounding mental health concerns and calls the church to reclaim its role in caring for hurting people. Johnson shows how prayer, Scripture, the work of the Holy Spirit, and Christian community work together to lead people toward Christ.
Readers will be encouraged to develop confidence in God's purpose for the church, the sufficiency of Scripture, and the power of the Spirit to bring hope and healing to those facing addictions, depression, eating disorders, sexual struggles, marital problems, and other deep challenges.
