Publisher's summary

In this important book, a megachurch pastor acknowledges the mental health crisis happening in our churches today and gives listeners practical tools to fight back against depression, anxiety, and insecurity—and help them find victory.

Depression, anxiety, and emotional trauma are on the rise, even more so after the painful few years we’ve all been through. While the church has had an unfortunate track record of glossing over mental health issues, Paul Daugherty, pastor of the megachurch Victory, believes it’s time for the church to break its silence. You can’t just pray trauma away. Depression and anxiety can affect even the most devoted believer.

In this book, Paul Daugherty walks listeners through some of the biggest mental and emotional health issues he has seen people in his life and his congregation facing, including depression, anxiety, insecurity, mood swings, and the scars of trauma. Daugherty dives into scripture and lays a framework for understanding the spiritual truths behind each mental battle. He also offers practical tips and strategies to help listeners find lasting victory.

The result is an invaluable handbook that will help Christians and non-believers alike.

**Mind Games** Review
By Paul Dougherty

Let me just keep it real with you—**Mind Games** is, without a doubt, the most powerful book I’ve ever read on mental health. And listen, I’m not usually the type to sit down and devour a book from cover to cover. I’m a slow reader, easily distracted, and usually lose interest halfway through. But this book? It grabbed my attention and didn’t let go! I was locked in the entire time.

What truly sets **Mind Games** apart is the way it seamlessly blends the natural and the Biblical. The author dives deep into the practical, everyday aspects of mental health and masterfully aligns them with the timeless truths of Scripture. It’s a combination that speaks deep to the heart and the mind.

This isn’t just a book; it’s a must-have, must-read, no matter who you are, no matter where you are in life. Whether you’re dealing with struggles right now or just want to get ahead of the game, this is for you.

Here’s what I know: the persistence of your heart, fueled by the power of God’s Word, will set you apart and propel you toward success. So do yourself a favor—get this book, dive in, and let it transform your life!

Great Book!

I have always loved Paul, and have watched him mature in his leadership responsibilities at victory.com, doing a great job. I'm really enjoying his excellent book, filled with great life lessons, and raw emotion as he has walked through the death of his dad, and other challenging life events.

im listening for a second time. powerful & authentic thank you for speaking about this topic

Christ in me

I am thankful for this book. I will return to many chapters frequently. God Bless.

I have the master key

I was deeply moved while listening to Pastor Paul's book during my commute. His openness and vulnerability in sharing his story are truly inspiring. It's uplifting to see an influential pastor addressing mental health, a topic often overlooked in our Christian community. Growing up in the church, I've had moments of doubt and questioning because of how Christians treat each other. But, I've matured in my faith, shifting my focus to my relationship with Christ rather than the internal church dynamics. This book is revolutionary and a good reminder that, as children of God, we have everything we need - victory and purpose. It also reminds us that it's okay to be human and have emotional struggles, but we need to make choices to be better because we have Christ within us, who is the master key to overcoming those struggles. Also, the book provides numerous examples of people in the Bible who had emotional issues, which is pretty cool.
