In 1995, he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder after having apocalyptic psychotic delusions. By God’s grace and through much faithful support, he served another dozen years in full-time ministry.Many people with mental illness are angry at God, at believers in Jesus Christ, and at faith communities. People within churches struggle to understand mental illness in light of Biblical teaching. Tony has lived in both worlds and wrestles daily with the dual identity of being a Christian who has a serious mental illness.Tony’s mission is to bridge the distance between faith and mental illness — fostering faith among those with disorders and diagnoses and promoting compassion within the faith community. Sharing his spiritual memoir, Delight in Disorder: Ministry, Madness, Mission, is the first step toward thisHe is available for interviews and speaking events and can be reached through tony@awaywithwordsforyou.comver menos
