Theocast
Can Christians Struggle with PTSD? (w/ 1517)
June 5, 2024
Summary
Recently, Christian social media has been ablaze with the topic of mental illness and whether or not it is a real thing. In particular, diagnoses such as ADHD, PTSD, and OCD. We thought we would lend our voices to this discussion from a theological lens, analyzing the implications of the fall of Adam, a world of suffering, and compassion for our fellow man. For today’s discussion, Jon and Justin are joined by Scott Keith and Chad Bird of 1517! We hope and pray you find this conversation encouraging!

All right, we're going to do our normal welcome for those who are listening and they may not be aware of 1517 to make sure that they are.
So, welcome to Theocast, encouraging weary pilgrims to rest in Christ, conversations about the Christian life from a reformed, pastoral, and confessional perspective.
Sometimes a Lutheran perspective.
Sometimes a very Lutheran one.
That's right.
Your host today are John Moffitt, pastor of Grace Reform Church in Spring Hill, Tennessee, and Justin Perdue, pastor of Covenant Baptist Church in Asheville, North Carolina.
We have two guests: one that you are familiar with, he's been on the pod before, I'll introduce him in a second, but new to Theocast and excited to have him on today is Scott Keith, who's the executive director
at 1517.
You also may know him because he's one of the hosts of the Thinking Fellows, which is part of the 1517 podcast network, which is a robust network.
You guys have a lot of podcasts.
We do, yeah.
We're ambitious.
I love it.
This is awesome.
And then most of you probably know Chad Birds has been on the podcast several times, resident theologian at 1517, and also host of 40 Minutes in the Old Testament and a couple other podcasts.
Yeah, How many do you have now?
I lose track.
No, I so two weekly.
One's 40 Minutes in the Old Testament, which I don't know if you know is the most downloaded of the two tests.
Oh my Lord.
