In this thought-provoking episode, host Garth Parham delves into the complex relationship between mental health and traditional religious and spiritual practices in the 21st century. Despite centuries of providing meaning and comfort to their followers, many young people today face a growing mental health crisis and find themselves disillusioned with these long-standing institutions.
Why is this happening? Garth explores how modern technology has exposed scandals and misleading practices within some religious and spiritual organizations, leading to a loss of trust among the younger generation. He discusses how these revelations create divisions within households, spark uncomfortable conversations, and further contribute to mental health issues.
However, it's not all bleak. Garth also highlights the importance of soft skills in overcoming these challenges. By developing self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and effective communication, young people can navigate these complex issues with resilience and clarity. Join us for an insightful discussion that aims to bridge generational gaps and foster a deeper understanding of how we can support the mental well-being of today's youth while respecting and evolving our spiritual and religious practices.
