Synopsis

Robert Vore & Steve Austin have both spent time wrestling with mental illness in the context of the Christian faith. Over time, they found themselves saying things like this: I love Jesus, but I need my medication. I love Jesus, but I hate being alone. I love Jesus, but my pastor doesn't understand my mental illness. I love Jesus, but sometimes I want to die. In this brand new book from the hosts of CXMH, Robert & Steve reflect on these statements and more in a raw and powerful way. Equipped with reflection questions, resource suggestions, and more, I Love Jesus, But... sets out to address what it looks like to navigate (and maybe even embrace) the tension between faith & mental health.
