In today’s powerful episode, we’re joined by Christian counselor Jamie Nelson for an honest, grace-filled conversation about mental health, therapy, and faith. Whether you’ve been considering therapy but feel unsure of where to start, or you’re wondering if it’s “Christian enough” to seek professional help, this episode will meet you with clarity and encouragement.

Jamie shares when it might be time to seek therapy, how to find the right Christian counselor, and why learning to advocate for yourself in the healing process is both courageous and necessary. We talk about what it means to hold grace and truth together, how therapy can support your spiritual growth, and the freedom that comes with letting God meet you in your pain.

If you’ve ever struggled with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or shame around getting help—this conversation is for you. Healing is holy. And taking that next brave step might be the most faith-filled move you make.

🎧 Tune in and be reminded: it’s okay to not be okay—and it’s brave to ask for help.
