Mental health & soul care, considered biblically, pastorally & practically

This compilation of essays by various authors – theologians, pastors, counsellors, and laypersons – originated at two conferences in Jordan, Ontario in 2022. Reformed Fellowship is very glad to now make this material accessible in written form. Speaking often from first-hand experience, the authors address a variety of issues and collectively call for a Biblically holistic approach to body and soul in relationship to mental health. This will make an invaluable resource for all seeking a better understanding of what the Bible has to say on this timely topic.

Born and reared in the Philippines, Brian G. Najapfour has been a minister of God since 2001. Called to the gospel ministry at the young age of sixteen, he began his theological education in 1997 at the Center for Biblical Studies Institute and Seminary in the Philippines, where, with God’s help, he earned his Bachelor of Theology (B.Th.) degree in 2001, followed by his Master in Biblical Studies (M.B.S.) degree in 2004. From 2001 until his coming to the U.S. in 2006, he served as a pastor in the Philippines. With a desire to further his education, however, he arrived in Grand Rapids, Michigan in 2006, where he enrolled in Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary. Here he studied for his Master of Theology (Th.M.) degree, which he completed by God’s grace in 2009. While pursuing a Ph.D. degree, Najapfour, since his installation on October 19, 2012, has been pastor of Dutton United Reformed Church, Caledonia, Michigan. He is co-editor (along with Joel R. Beeke) of Taking Hold of God: Reformed and Puritan Perspectives on Prayer (2011) and author of The Very Heart of Prayer: Reclaiming John Bunyan’s Spirituality (2012) and Jonathan Edwards: His Doctrine of & Devotion to Prayer (2013). He and his wife Sarah have two children (Anna and James). Paul Wagenaar is principal of Jordan Christian School in Jordan Station, Ontario. He resides in Niagara with his wife and seven children.
