Inviting Christ on Our Healing Journey

Clinical counselor Jon Nash offers a faith-based guide to mental and emotional healing, weaving together therapeutic tools and Latter-day Saint doctrine. Across chapters on depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, identity, addiction, and self-care, he shows how inviting Christ into the healing process can lighten burdens without eliminating the need for professional help. Grounded in scripture, prophetic teachings, client stories, and his own missionary struggles, this compassionate resource affirms that mental illness is not sin and that lasting change is possible through Christ.

• Written by a practicing LDS clinical therapist who blends real therapy tools with gospel doctrine—not just platitudes.
• Repeatedly affirms that mental illness is NOT a sin or spiritual failing, addressing a common source of guilt among faithful members.
• Balances faith with professional care, medication, and therapy rather than presenting prayer alone as the cure.
• Covers a wide range of struggles in one volume—depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, addiction, identity, and lifelong illness.

“In talking about repentance and mental health, it is important to clarify that mental health challenges are not signs of wrongdoing.”

Perfect for a Latter-day Saint adult struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, or addiction—or someone ministering to a loved one who is—who wants clinically informed help framed within gospel doctrine.
