Few things are more acutely examined than the human body. Of all its organs, the brain is the most complex. No other organ controls human functioning like the brain. However, what makes the brain totally unique is its connection to our overall well-being.
The brain affects how we function physically, emotionally, relationally, personally, and also spiritually.
For this reason, we must address this massive disconnect. Few people do this better than my friend, Joe Padilla. After years in ministry, Joe and his lovely wife endured years of complicated mental health challenges.
Through the process, Joe learned the undeniable value of wellness integration. He founded the Mental Health Grace Alliance. No one should suffer alone regardless the cause of their suffering.
