Having worked as a church counselor, I wish my immediate answer was \u201cOf course, Lord!\u201d But instead, my most honest answer was \u201cNo! I see what you do with people\u2019s testimonies!\u201d I knew that to have a testimony of God\u2019s work in their lives, people had to first go through pain and turmoil. Allowing my children the pain necessary for a testimony was one of my biggest fears. It wasn\u2019t until nearly fifteen years later that I was able to humbly change my answer.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I can recount hundreds of stories of God\u2019s faithfulness to bring beauty from ashes as He promises in Isaiah: \u201c<em>To bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair<\/em>\u201d (61:3). That\u2019s easily the most rewarding part of working for Jesus (whether in my role as counselor, disciple-maker, or friend). When someone has experienced healing from their trauma, restoration in a relationship, or forgiveness for themselves and others, I have taken a front row seat to the beauty of a testimony rising out of the ashes of life\u2019s pain. These are the stories I keep tucked away in my heart for building hope when it seems all hope is lost. When life\u2019s hardships make it easier to identify with Job\u2019s despair than with Paul\u2019s rejoicing, I need those stories of redemption to give me hope \u2013 to give others hope.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote alignright has-text-align-right\"><blockquote><p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#117397\" class=\"has-inline-color\">We try throwing scripture at pain from a distance, bandaging gaping wounds with platitudes.<\/mark><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was when I had to find some hope to offer my daughter as she faced a devastating mental health diagnosis that my theology and mental health practice had a head-on collision in my very own home. God lovingly asked me again, as He has throughout the years, if I trusted Him with my children\u2019s testimonies. I would be lying if I said my answer didn\u2019t require both deep digging and anguished prayer. My hope was only in Him; I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that God didn\u2019t bring her this disease or its pain. That was part of the fall of man and its effects on creation \u2013 an enemy scheme.\u200b \u200bGod didn\u2019t promise my daughter wouldn\u2019t face pain, but He did promise that when life brought it, He would use it for her good. He will shine His light in her darkness, use her healing to repair the breaches in others\u2019 lives \u2013 all for His glory. I can finally wholeheartedly say that I do trust God with her testimony.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is in these dark and scary places that the church often misses the mark\u200b. \u200bWe aren\u2019t well-equipped to bear one another\u2019s burdens. We subconsciously worry that the dark places in others might consume us too. We try throwing scripture at pain from a distance, bandaging gaping wounds with platitudes. Burdens can\u2019t be carried from an emotional distance.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember the places where the church has best served you in your brokenness. I think you will find that it was in relationship, when someone sat with you in your pain, either in silence or humbly asking questions rather than preaching or talking about their own unresolved pain. The only time Job\u2019s comforters were doing a good job is when they sat silently in the ash heap with him. Sometimes being a silent witness in other\u2019s suffering is the most sacred thing you can do. This simply cannot be done in the few minutes of an altar call or from an emotional distance. It\u2019s not until we\u2019ve proven we are driven by love and grace, without an agenda for behavioral change, that we will be trusted with the most imprisoning parts of a person\u2019s story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote alignleft has-text-align-left\"><blockquote><p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#117397\" class=\"has-inline-color\">It\u2019s not until we\u2019ve proven we are driven by love and grace, without an agenda for behavioral change, that we will be trusted with the most imprisoning parts of a person\u2019s story.<\/mark><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ll let you in on a secret: you don\u2019t have to be the pastor or church counselor to help people walk in emotional and spiritual health\u200b. \u200bMost of the counseling I\u2019ve done has been discipleship \u2013 teaching people the \u201dhow-to\u2019s\u201d of the Bible: how to forgive, how to not be anxious for anything, how to break the power of lust, how to guard your heart in very practical, boots-on-the-ground ways. And yet, if you don\u2019t understand how to apply biblical principles to your own emotional health, you won\u2019t be comfortable in the dark and scary places of others\u2019 struggles. Matthew Henry\u2019s commentary on Galatians 6 says it well: \u201cThe better we know our own hearts and ways, the less shall we despise others, and the more be disposed to help them under infirmities and afflictions.\u201d If you aren\u2019t sure how to help others in their pain, being a silent, praying witness is a great place to start. In that silent place, collect the promises of God from scripture. Get to know His character and His love for His people. When you yourself can trust God\u2019s unfailing goodness, you will be able to pass it on to others. Isaiah and Ephesians are great places to start this treasure hunt.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We need to become a people that know how to get our hands dirty and apply the mud of scripture to the eyes of each other&#8217;s hearts in a way that invites restoration. We need to know where to find the keys that set the prisoners free. As individuals and as church bodies, we can help others apply the \u201chow to\u2019s\u201d of scripture. I LOVE when churches teach Financial Peace along with praying for financial breakthrough. I LOVE when churches have recovery programs that walk spiritual captives through steps of freedom. I LOVE when churches teach boundaries and healthy relationship skills. I LOVE when churches have connections with community health programs that treat the whole triune person: mind, spirit, and body. I don\u2019t believe medication minimizes one\u2019s faith; oftentimes, it gives a person the boost they need to come to the starting line of the race we\u2019re all trying to run for the kingdom. It can be a necessary tool in applying scripture to their lives.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We all know that hurt people hurt people, but what\u2019s even more powerful is the mustard seed growth of watching healed people heal people. A person who has learned to apply the gospel of Jesus to their own dark and scary places is the person who is best able to shine His light for another. When it comes to the integration of mental health and spiritual health in the Church, that is the aspect which excites me more than anything.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8aa3364d wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"padding-top:2.5rem;padding-right:2.5rem;padding-bottom:2.5rem;padding-left:2.5rem\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1923\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/openbiblemessage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Anne-Beem-bio-photo-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22532\" srcset=\"https:\/\/openbiblemessage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Anne-Beem-bio-photo-scaled.jpeg 1923w, https:\/\/openbiblemessage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Anne-Beem-bio-photo-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/openbiblemessage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Anne-Beem-bio-photo-769x1024.jpeg 769w, https:\/\/openbiblemessage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Anne-Beem-bio-photo-768x1022.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/openbiblemessage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Anne-Beem-bio-photo-1154x1536.jpeg 1154w, https:\/\/openbiblemessage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Anne-Beem-bio-photo-1539x2048.jpeg 1539w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1923px) 100vw, 1923px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:75%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>Anne Beem<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Anne Beem<\/strong> is a Eugene Bible College alumnus living outside of San Antonio, Texas, with her husband Chuck and their three daughters.
