Description

Anxiety, addiction, and apathy are often seen only as medical or psychological struggles. But what if they are also symptoms of something deeper—a collective spiritual starvation? In this episode of …We Have a Spiritual Problem, Dr. Jeff Armstrong explores how our modern malaise reveals not just broken psyches, but a fractured relationship with meaning, connection, and transcendence. Drawing on Carl Jung, Gabor Maté, Parker Palmer, Dr. Robb Kelly, Lauryn Axelrod, and the dangers of spiritual bypassing, this conversation reframes mental health crises as spiritual signals, pointing us toward wholeness, integration, and the possibility of a more deeply human life.
