Craig Groeschel’s latest book, “Heal Your Hurting Mind,” feels less like a leadership playbook and more like a quiet, honest conversation about mental health. Written with clinical psychologist Dr. Wayne Chappelle, the book sits at the intersection of faith and psychology, offering practical tools alongside spiritual insight.

Groeschel writes from experience, not distance. He opens up about his own struggles with anxiety and emotional exhaustion, framing the book around a simple but often overlooked idea: faith and mental health are not in competition. Instead, they work together.

At its core, the book focuses on identifying harmful thought patterns and replacing them with healthier ones — both through biblical grounding and evidence-based practices. It’s structured to help readers name what they’re feeling, understand where it comes from and begin moving forward without pretending everything is fine.

Groeschel puts it plainly: “God cared deeply about my mental health, and healing was possible.” That line sets the tone for the rest of the book.

There’s no rush in his approach. The goal isn’t instant change, but steady progress. For readers who feel stuck — or just tired of carrying things quietly — “Heal Your Hurting Mind” offers a grounded path forward without overcomplicating it.
