BEHIND THE MASK

A CONVERSATION ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH

It's okay not to be okay.

We all wear masks to hide what's really going on inside—anxiety we can't shake, depression that won't lift, trauma we haven't processed, or pain we can't name. Behind the Mask is a six-week series exploring what the Bible says about mental health and how Jesus meets us in our struggles. Whether you're battling mental health challenges, supporting someone who is, or simply want to understand these issues better, this series offers honest conversation, biblical truth, and professional resources. Some weeks will address sensitive topics including self-harm and suicide. Our goal is simple: to create a safe space where it's okay not to be okay, and to help you discover that Jesus wants to make you whole—spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically.

Mental Health Resources

Whether you're in the middle of a hard season or supporting someone who is, there is a resource here for you — anytime you need it. Each topic connects to a message from the teaching series Behind the Mask, is paired with practical tools to help you take a next step. You'll find Scripture to hold onto, local organizations and crisis resources, helpful apps, and additional reading and listening.

Series FAQs

Do I need to attend every week of the series?

No. Each message stands alone, so you're welcome to attend any or all weeks. However, attending the full series will give you a more complete understanding of mental health from a biblical perspective.

Is the E91 Counseling Center only for E91 members?

No. The E91 Counseling Center serves anyone in the community, regardless of church membership or faith background. Our licensed counselors provide professional, confidential care to all who need support.

Can I attend a process group without attending the sermon series?

Yes, though we recommend watching or listening to the corresponding message first to get the most out of each group session. Messages will be available on demand at E91Church.com/Watch.

Do I have to share personal information in the process groups?

No. Process groups are designed to be safe spaces, but you're never required to share more than you're comfortable with. Facilitators create an environment where you can participate at your own level.

What's the difference between the Counseling Center and the process groups?

The E91 Counseling Center provides professional, one-on-one therapy with a clinically trained, biblically informed counselors. Process groups are E91 counselor facilitated, group conversations where people explore topics together—not specifically therapy, but supportive discussion. Both are valuable, and many people benefit from participating in both.

Can I bring my teenager to the ASIST training?

Yes. Anyone 16 and older can participate in ASIST training. This can be especially valuable for parents of teens, youth ministry leaders, and older students who want to be equipped to help their peers.
