Scott McConnell interviews Dr. Jared Pingleton about resources for churches to get started helping those dealing with mental illness.

Dr. Pingleton shared staggering numbers:

  • 20%-25% of adults in the U.S. suffer at any present time with a diagnosable mental illness.
  • Alcoholism and the addiction to pornography contribute significantly to these numbers.
  • In the U.S., 2000 children a day are abused.
  • 117 people end their lives in the U.S.
