Thank you for stopping by to check out our project on mental health and the Christian journey of faith! Our prayer is that you’ll take these films and use them in whatever context you see fit.

Each of the four pieces will be accompanied by a blog article to provide a little more substance to the spoken-word style of the films. You can read these here.

The Project’s Journey

Back in April 2018, we stumbled over a book by Johann Hari called Lost Connections. It took us several months to properly conceive, write and plan the content as well as making a vital connection with the outstanding Todd Weller.

Hari’s excellent book is a shocking exposé of the spurious credibility of anti-depressant medication and the dangerous implications of them for our wider psycho-social health.

But it doesn’t go far enough.

Mairi and I are sufficiently concerned about these findings to deliberately go after a wider conversation about anti-depressants and how Hari’s book is a wake-up call not only for society at large but also the comatose Church.

We’re calling these conversations, The Bothy Sessions.
