He meets a couple whose own mental health challenges led them to set up an organisation inspired by kintsugi, the traditional Japanese art of highlighting and celebrating imperfections rather than hiding them. The organisation offers training to churches to become mental health-friendly spaces and to run wellbeing groups in their communities.
We also revisit the time Kate Bottley put on her trainers to join a group of Christian runners interested in physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing, and we look at the legacy of the 2021 Chelsea Flower Show garden inspired by Psalm 23.
The programme includes a performance from last year’s BBC Young Chorister of the Year as well as music from around the UK that reminds us, whatever challenges we may face, that God is always with us.
