This is a discussion panel on the relationship between mental health and Scripture.  Owen Center counselors Gary Spooner and Braden Benson are joined by Nick Coniglio, another local counselor, to discuss the dynamics of depression, anxiety, mental health, counseling, and where the bible speaks into our suffering.  Thank you to First Baptist Church Opelika for hosting and sharing the video link found below:
