As a newly mented doctor of behavioral health management, this is very encouraging. I completed my dissertation research study exploring mental health in the Black Church and Pastor Jasper’s story closely aligns with my research findings❤
As a mental health therapist, I really appreciated this episode. I think it will definitely help those who are struggling between their faith and their mental health.
This is one of the reasons why I love my Pastors (Jasper & Alecia). Their TRANSPARENCY has always been present, and they always lead with open arms. Thank you Pastor Bryant for this broadcast and giving Rev. Williams the opportunity to shine a light on a subject that is so needed in our community.
In 1988, Bishop Paul Morton would host Pastor Jasper Williams at a Fall Revival at Greater St. Stephen FGBC. My father took me to the revival as a young college student. It was my first time at Greater and hearing Jasper Williams. I returned for Sunday service, and I have never looked back. My life changed for the better. It was the best decision of my life, and it changed the trajectory of my life. This has been THE BEST episode of your podcast since you’ve started. This is going to help so many. That Cornel West statement: “Your generation has a brand, mine had a cause.” #micdrop 🔥
As a mental wellness advocate, I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. After being raised in a home where both parents were DEVOUT followers of Christ, with three siblings (male), all of who were affected by severe mental illness, I decided in 2016 that I'm not keeping quiet anymore. My brothers' stories did not end well. The gap between the "church" and the mental health community definitely needs to be bridged. We cannot PRAY everything away. Ask me how I know.
Bishop Paul S. Morton, wrote a book several years ago about himself in this topic. A very good book. He came to Salem Bible Church, I believe it was doing Revival time, West Side. Thank you Bishop Jamal Bryant for your podcast and having Pastor Jasper Williams III, on. We're all in the ship together trying to cross over to the other side. And we will make it, even if it's on broken pieces, and not one will be lost. Thank you Jesus, 🙏🙌❤
The transparency of it all (in it) self is liberating. To have to wear a mask and still function and to hold himself accountable to his congregation and volunteer to seek help and admit Something is wrong Mentally encourages healing in all areas of our lives.
I remember Bishop Mason saying in a prayer I heard…cast the devil out of my mind. I do believe it’s spiritual warfare and one need to get therapy. Thank you, this is good.
This is the first pastor I ever heard to be open about being diagnosed.. There are many who need to hear this podcast because they need as we need help and some from thier youth. Being a pastor takes on a heck of a lot of stresses most wouldn’t believe and that doesn’t include home life.
This was one of the best discussions I have ever seen. This is much needed for everyone especially the church. This is educational for me and to help others.
Thank you both for sharing. I could write book on this session on all levels from being former pastor’s wife to raising kids of a pastor. I always advocated for therapy and counseling but was told “just pray”. I have watched my children struggle because of the mental health of their father and my willingness to keep our business in our house. Pastor Williams you are so correct that it shows up when you reach adulthood. Our situation even became violent and resulted in my ex going to prison. Our community needs this so desperately! Thank God for my pastor Dr. E. Dewey Smith who preached weekly and embraced my children and this allowed us to begin the healing process. Our lives are better after much work but as Pastor Williams stated, it is an ongoing process. Tears 😭 are flowing but thank you both for this wonderful session and May God continue bless you both ❤❤❤❤🙏🏾
I'm grateful for such sharing,especially from those in high places!! Explaining and defining these issues,and care for such!!!! This will be a blessing to community,Yes I could understand the need for all to hear this,and to hear from those having experience such!!!THANK YOU BOTH!!!!
No failure in faith. I can relate to him when the Lord told me to leave from a city where I was blessed for almost 40 years, and it was not about anyone but me and God commissioning me to leave, even today people don't understand, it's not about them
Thank you, Dr. Bryant for addressing this much needed conversation concerning mental health in the church. This conversation was a life spring for so many struggling with mental health. Pastor Williams, your transparency helped me to exhale. Dr. Bryant, keep the conversations comin! God bless you‼️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
This was so good! As a PK I love this conversation and the transparency of Pastor Williams. It's all about choices! Love that you said, "This thing will not get me." This freed so many! Bless you Sir!
God bless you, Pastor Williams! Thank you for your transparency by sharing your story with the world. Much love and respect to you and your family ❤ continually. 🙏🏿
Yes Dr. Jamal: Depression is a Spiritual Warfare. So is Bi-Polar. Thank God for Pastor Jasper. I admire his honesty. God is a good God. We just need to trust Him.
This is so, so good!! I will share this with the guys that I work with in my facility. I tell them all of the time that f it's ok to take your diabetes meds, it's totally okay to take your brain (neurological) meds.
Your Dr's must have been the same as mine, Pastor. I got benched from work in February this year. I am STILL benched, but I appreciate how God started financially providing for this time for years! I also take meds that include sleeping tablets. When I read what I write to friends or journal, I can't remember writing it and it's gibberish. I'm witnessing for you Pastor, as you witness for me. God is still in this fire with us.
For me I can speak for myself. I went to therapy and found out the problems of ptsd. Which God has been taking care of🙌🏾🙏🏾Hallelujah Anxiety is mostly irritating.
I love this Pastor, I watch you preach a few weeks ago in Group Therapy,you are setting the Church Free You Dad is our Grandfather at NBirth Miam Bishop Curry we love him and you
Years ago, I found myself standing before a congregation of people. As I looked at their expressions, I sensed that something was amiss. In that moment, I couldn't help but ask myself, what could be causing this unusual atmosphere? I heard the spirit say that it pertained to mental health. The following day, it was confirmed when I discovered a mental health program on my computer from an unexpected institution. I enrolled in that program and after a few years, I successfully earned a degree in MH counseling. I kindly request your prayers as I have an important task ahead of me to assist the people of God, which I am compelled to undertake. Thank you to both preachers for your courage, compassion, affection, and thoughtfulness. Dr. Bryant, I appreciate your attentive listening demeanor, very sincere!
Pastor Bryant This podcast is breaking chains,destroying yolks in this Christian culture I love how you dissect and reach across every genre of our social ills Thank you
Wow and Wow!!! Incredibly amazing discussion and advocacy for mental health within our communities. This conversation was overdue and extremely necessary and it is my hope that in the future more churches can and will incorporate mental health, professional and services to support our black communities that are in desperate need.
Pastors are HUMANs….. Leaders are ACCOUNTABLe. Thank you both for this intelligent conversation. What a way to speak and honor your father….. despite him being away. Such a compassionate conversation and really resonated with me personally. My father is in spiritual warfare and he is a pastor….. leading people actually follow. I left the church at 24…. I knew there was more to GOD. I will not give up hope that my father can overcome by the blood of testimony even if it has to come through inspiration from others. “What I didn’t get, I gave them” -Love this statement about children. Gods Grace is sufficient. There are so many gems in this conversation…. Thank you Pastor Williams for being authentic and connecting with GOD in order to do the work that moves us Forward Together.
We Are All The Better Because of Your Bleeding, None of Your Oil was left wasted in Aisle 9 Thank you Father for This Powerful Engaging Impactful Message to Help Your People become Aware that You are A God that Still Loves and Heals Even the Preacher who Ministers To Many but struggles with Mental Health I am grateful that Pastor Jasper Williams III and Pastor Jamal Bryant has lifted a veil of darkness and secrecy in this conversation through transparency🙏🏾
Lord Jesus we need this conversation in YOUR Church Thank you Pastor Jasper Williams III you are truly your Father's Son The Transparency is Phenomenal it is Helping bring Awareness to Mental Health without the Stigma
Can't Thank God enough for the boldness of his CHOSEN few that have no problem sharing the goodness of God!!!! May God continue blessing you Jamal & all of what you're doing along with being transparent. It's very trying but there's nothing regretful in this Walk 🥰💪🏾🙌🏾
Dr. Jamal Bryant conversation with Jasper Williams III; heard him preach before and his dad Jasper Williams Jr.-- He would preach a revival every year at our church and the church would be packed OVER capacity EVERY YEAR...and he would sing a song BEFORE he started preaching, OH MY GOD !!!
I remember Jasper ! We went to the same college, AMC Atlanta. I remember asking him was it hard to be a PK. My mom pastored and I was an adult when she started. I despised being a PK. Jasper made it clear there was no resentment or struggle being the son of His father. He invited the class over to his home , met his mom. Great guy! I’m sure his answer to my question, now has a new perspective .
Clear as the day is long. I ll have ice cream and wrap my arms sround myself as this moment. This too was a necessary podcast opposite to his sister theme as well Dr. Thema Bryant as therapist.
Both my sets if grandparents married at least 50 years. My uncle Paul was sent to California to live and go to school out of the 7 children. His main statement daily was "understand me"!
As a newly mented doctor of behavioral health management, this is very encouraging. I completed my dissertation research study exploring mental health in the Black Church and Pastor Jasper’s story closely aligns with my research findings❤
As a mental health therapist, I really appreciated this episode. I think it will definitely help those who are struggling between their faith and their mental health.
God bless your work.
@@jasperwilliams3_ thank you.
"You know when he said when your heart hurts, it affects your head" A looooooot suddenly made sense.
Now this podcast should go viral, the church needs this
Your wish is mine too. I want to be the face and voice of a "thriv-er."
@@jasperwilliams3_ Trust me Pastor Williams God Is going to use you to do just that🙏🏾
This is one of the reasons why I love my Pastors (Jasper & Alecia). Their TRANSPARENCY has always been present, and they always lead with open arms. Thank you Pastor Bryant for this broadcast and giving Rev. Williams the opportunity to shine a light on a subject that is so needed in our community.
So much to unpack in a short session. We need a pt 2. Pastor Jasper always hits the mark.
GOD Bless You, Dr. Jamal Bryant and Pastor Jasper Williams III. What An Amazing Podcast!

When your heart hurts, it effects your head!! Real Word!!

Pastor have mentally ill too.
I call it mental "hellness." And it is real. Stay the course sister.
For such a time as this, amen.❤
He is the first to admit it that has been diagnosed but not the only one. God Bless this Pastor.🙏😊
Pray that my admission is the help that someone else needs.
This was a Wow, interview. THANK YOU!
This generation has a brand, his generation had a Cause. Powerful!!
Few words...big facts...🙏🏾

Love this episode!!
Staying on the connection between church and mental health, Dr. Anita Phillips would be an awesome guest.
🙏🏼 🙏🏼 Amen
Or his sister Dr. Thema Bryant! Former APA President!
The transparency of it all (in it) self is liberating. To have to wear a mask and still function and to hold himself accountable to his congregation and volunteer to seek help and admit Something is wrong Mentally encourages healing in all areas of our lives.
Thank you, both!
