THE PRESSURE IN THE PEWS
Depression, Anxiety, Suicide, and the Cost of Silence
What happens when people know how to pray, worship, serve, and show up for church, but do not know how to talk about what is happening with their mental health?
The Pressure in the Pews opens the conversation about depression, anxiety, suicide, and the silence that can surround mental health within faith communities. It addresses the space where faith and mental health meet, helping readers recognize that difficult emotional and psychological experiences should not have to remain hidden behind church attendance, ministry service, or spiritual language.
Written to encourage understanding and honest conversation, this book invites individuals, church leaders, ministry teams, and congregations to become better equipped to recognize what people may be carrying and respond with greater knowledge, compassion, and care.
The conversation belongs in the Church. And silence should not be the cost of belonging.
