Matt first spoke along with Kay Warren at HIM’s first Mental Health Conference in 2018. We have called upon him many times since then to share his expertise on mental health from a Christian foundation.
Matt has authored five books, his latest being Madness & Grace: A Practical Guide for Pastoral Care and Serious Mental Illness
Matt’s research on the interplay between psychology and issues of faith has been featured in The New York Times, USA Today, Christianity Today, and U.S. News & World Report.
More about the 2024 Mental Health Conference
O‘ahu Pastors & Ministry Leaders Session,
1 PM to 5 PM
Ministering to Those Struggling with Depression, Anxiety, and Trauma
This half-day session is specifically for pastors and ministry leaders because church is the first place people go for help. As church leaders, we see depression, anxiety and trauma in our congregations, among our youth, on our streets. And we know it is growing in incidence, frequency and impact.
Matt will help churches and their leaders strengthen their capacity to respond to the many mental health needs before them. He will provide training and resources for paving a road to recovery for the people God brings to our doors.
HIM’s desire is to help church leaders care together for our community so that we bring Jesus to every person in need.

O‘ahu Sessions
O‘ahu Mental Health Evening, 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM
Why Am I Feeling This Way?
Understanding and Caring for Your Mental Health
In our digitally driven world, it’s easy to find pop psychology answers for our mental and emotional needs. But how do we know it’s true and not a myth or a meme? This evening will be your opportunity to ask a not just a professional psychologist but a Christian psychologist about something very dear to God: You. Your physical health matters, your emotional health matters, your mental health matters. Come learn how to understand and care for your mental health without losing your soul.
Maui Sessions
Fri, Sept 13
Maui Pastors & Ministry Leaders Session,
1 PM to 5 PM
Ministering to Those Struggling with Depression, Anxiety, and Trauma
This half-day session is specifically for pastors and ministry leaders because church is the first place people go for help. As church leaders, we see depression, anxiety and trauma in our congregations, among our youth, on our streets. And we know it is growing in incidence, frequency and impact.
On Maui, Matt will specifically address how to care for those recovering from the Maui wild fires. This includes how to care for the mental and emotional health of immediate victims as well as everyone who grieved a loss and may still be grieving it.
HIM’s desire is to help church leaders care together for our community so that we bring Jesus to every person in need.
