About the Author Presents: Episode 1-Dr. Mark Mayfield Addresses Anxiety in the Church

One of the key topics Dr. Mark Mayfield explores in The Mental Health Handbook for Ministry is anxiety—something increasingly common in today’s world. He encourages people to see anxiety not as a personal failure, but as a signal that something needs attention. Dr. Mayfield explains how God designed the brain and offers guidance on recognizing when someone should move beyond self-help or pastoral care and seek professional counseling. He also provides practical direction for ministry leaders: How can we support those struggling with anxiety disorders in ways that are both compassionate and effective? What does a true culture of care look like within the Church? His insights help leaders respond wisely and create environments where people can pursue real healing.
