This week we’re going to be talking about the connection between one’s psychological well-being and the recognition of one’s accountability before God. People talk a lot about mental health these days. Though this may come as a surprise for some, knowing that we will one day stand before the Lord in judgment is actually good for our mental health. We’re going to consider this in our episode today.
STORY – National Study Examines Link Between Accountability to God and Psychological Well-Being
“Religious believers who embrace accountability to God (or another transcendent guide for life) experience higher levels of three of the four variables of psychological well-being – mattering to others, dignity and meaning in their lives, though not happiness – according to a study from researchers with Baylor University, Westmont College and Hope College.
“The study also found that this relationship is stronger among those who pray more often, suggesting that accountability coupled with communication may be a powerful combination for well-being.” (Apple News)
