Book Synopsis
Can you struggle with mental health and still be a Christian?
Yes. There is a stigma often found in churches that gives birth to the lie that you cannot struggle with mental health and still be a Christian. This Bible study was created to combat that lie with the truth that God wants to guide you through the healing process.
Mosaic focuses on the intersection of faith and mental health, along with the ways the combination of spiritual and psychological practices can help bring about healing. It provides practical applications that can be incorporated into your everyday life to find lasting peace and clarity.
Mosaic was first taught in a small-group Bible study at University of Georgia.
"This study has given me a Godly outlook on what it looks like to follow Jesus and struggle with mental health. It's helped me hone in on God's voice and what He says about me instead of what others say. It has also made me realize that the pain I'm feeling is also felt by God and He has never left me for one second." - Leigha Turner, University of Georgia
"Conversations surrounding faith and mental health are always hard and sometimes awkward, however, going through this course I realized it doesn't have to be that way." - Sydney LaBollita, University of Georgia
"The Lord, His sacrifice, and His love for each and every one of us is the ultimate truth and in being a part of this Bible study, my belief in this truth has only grown. This is the first time in a church setting that I have gotten the chance to examine deeply and speak vulnerably of the reality of my experiences with mental health." - Riley McNeill, University of Georgia

"Conversations surrounding faith and mental health are always hard and sometimes awkward, however, going through this course I realized it doesn't have to be that way. I have always felt ashamed to admit that I struggle with mental health issues as a Christian, but I was reassured through this material that these two things can coexist. I now feel equipped to move through life with the knowledge I have gained and I move forward very excited that so many more people are going to have the same opportunity to experience growth and connection." - Sydney LaBollita, University of Georgia
"I am someone who has struggled with mental health issues since before I can remember. Anxiety has always felt like the most powerful and unshakable truth in my life, and depression pushed me further into hopelessness and exhaustion. But this is not the truth. The Lord, His sacrifice, and His love for each and every one of us is the ultimate truth and in being a part of this Bible study, my belief in this truth has only grown. This is the first time in a church setting that I have gotten the chance to examine deeply and speak vulnerably of the reality of my experiences with mental health in a space that is open and with people who understand because they have been through it, too. I am so thankful to have gotten to study Cam's insight into how God's word reveals his character towards those who feel lost and tired and scared. I will cherish this study to remember I am never alone in my struggles, and that the Lord my God is there for me always." - Riley McNeill, University of Georgia
