Brad Hoefs: Finding Hope and Healing in Mental Health Struggles

Knowing you have a mental illness or a mental health situation or challenge does not give you an excuse for bad behavior, right, but it is an explanation sometimes and it can help you understand why you did what you did, how to avoid it in the future, you know.
Imagine being at the top of your career, only to have it all come crashing down due to a mental health crisis. That's exactly what happened to Pastor Brad Hoefs. In this episode of 'Anchored by the Sword', Brad opens up about his journey from a manic episode that ended his role as a senior pastor to becoming a beacon of hope for others facing similar struggles.
Hosted by Gina Fox, this conversation is packed with practical advice for Christians on how to support those dealing with mental illness. Brad, an international speaker and mental health advocate, shares how a supportive community helped him find his footing again. He discusses the importance of understanding mental illness not as an excuse for bad behavior, but as an explanation that can guide better choices.
The episode also dives into cognitive behavioral health techniques that can aid in recovery and prevent relapses. Brad emphasizes living in the hope of Christ and extending grace and mercy to oneself. He also shares valuable resources for mental health support, making this episode a must-listen for anyone looking to offer or find hope in challenging times. Tune in to hear how truth and love can be powerful tools in overcoming mental health challenges.
