Sunburnt Souls – Where Faith and Mental Health Collide

In this episode of Sunburnt Souls, Dave Quak takes on John MacArthur’s controversial claims that psychiatry is a scam and mental illness isn’t real.

Faith and Mental Health: Can They Coexist?

Speaking not as an expert but from lived experience, Dave unpacks:

Why dismissing mental illness is harmful and can push people further into isolation.
How faith, therapy, and medication can work together in God’s healing process.
Why seeking help for mental health does not mean you have weak faith.

Breaking the Stigma in the Church

For many, there’s a tension between trusting God and getting professional help. This episode challenges that false divide and encourages believers to:

Embrace a holistic approach to healing.
Support those struggling with mental illness instead of dismissing their pain.
See therapy and medication as tools, not obstacles, in a faith-filled life.
