“I loved doing the podcast you’re about to hear for two reasons. One, borderline personality disorder, which is today’s topic, is one of the places where I think a biblical view of who we are as human beings has especially high potential to shine. I think the Bible allows us such a powerful and unique window in what’s going on inside people in general and people who manage to acquire the label ‘borderline’ in particular, and it was very thought-provoking for me to talk with David about this crucial place where our biblical worldview absolutely has to touch down the ground and roll up its sleeves. The second reason I loved doing it, though, was that it was really cool to see how the church has such an opportunity to do really good ministry, if we can just come to it with the right mindset. I hope you find it as thought-provoking and encouraging as I did.” Host, Alasdair Groves
