Alabama pastor shares journey of depression, urges others to seek help: ‘Don’t hesitate’
Fox News
Pastors and other clergy members often serve as pillars of support in times of crisis — but what happens when they are the ones who need lifted up? A pastor and mental health professionals chime in.
During his three decades of leading various churches, Dance, now 59, experienced a three-year bout of clinical depression — and now, as a pastor advocate for GuideStone, he helps support other pastors who are struggling. "I was working way too much, and using ‘the God card’ as an excuse." Those in church leadership are just as vulnerable to mental health struggles as the people they serve, Dance said. "As I tell pastors, the only thing between you and help is your pride." "I learned to become more physically, mentally and spiritually healthy, through the process of my mind being renewed by the Lord and His people."
