Mental Health and the Church

Healthy For My Purpose

Sersie and Gigi sit down with Adrianna Anderson to talk about a topic not typically discussed in the church: mental health. Adrianna Anderson is a graduate of New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary and will complete a master's degree in Biblical Theology in 2024. Adrianna is a writer, author, and Bible teacher who is passionate about equipping women to be biblically literate and able to defend the reason for their faith. Adrianna Anderson is passionate about teaching, mentoring, counseling, and equipping women to fulfill their role in God’s kingdom and seeing women in leadership positions. She has a deep love for missions, apologetics, and biblical literacy. She has served and worked in various roles of leadership, including women’s ministry and missions. She has ministered to women in prisons throughout Alabama, has served for many years with the ministry of Teen Challenge, and is committed to sharing the gospel in many forums. She has written content for women that is currently used by Samford University’s Ministry Training Institute geared towards women in leadership. Adrianna, a native New Yorker, has been an executive for multiple organizations in corporate America. She is bilingual and enjoys running, writing, reading, Bible journaling, and photography. Married at 21, she became a widow at the age of 24. Soon after, God called her to serve Him as a missionary to Mexico, where she taught English in a Christian school and served the people of the local city. After returning from the mission field, God lovingly brought Gregory into her life, and they have been married for 15 years. Gregory and Adrianna teach on the topic of racial unity and have consulted other churches on launching racial unity strategies from a biblical perspective and are deeply committed to the ministry of reconciliation in the body of Christ.
