A Journey of Faith, Resilience and Bipolar Disorder with Seth Perry

A Lutheran pastor finds grace amidst the waves of Bipolar Disorder.

In this "shorts" episode we look at a 2023 interview with Lutheran pastor Seth Perry. Seth candidly discusses his journey living with bipolar disorder, overcoming stigma, and rediscovering his faith after getting sober. He shares his struggle to disclose his diagnosis due to fear of judgment in the church and societal stereotypes about bipolar individuals. Seth reflects on the success of his "Give Up the Stigma" campaign, which encouraged open dialogue on mental health within his congregation, fostering a supportive environment at the intersection of faith and mental health.
