In this episode, I’m joined by Miriam Diphouse McMillan—author of Sacred Balance: How Ancient Practices Can Restore Modern Minds. Miriam is a chaplain at an inpatient psychiatric hospital, an ordained minister, a writer for the Intercession of Spirituality and Mental Health, and above all, a child of God.

We dive deep into the intersection of faith and mental health, exploring how spiritual practices—like prayer—have been scientifically shown to calm the mind through MRI research. Miriam shares insights from over 12 years of experience walking alongside people in crisis, leading spiritual groups, writing hospital sermons, and offering individual counseling.

This conversation is full of wisdom, compassion, and encouragement for anyone seeking balance, healing, and a deeper love for both self and neighbor.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Angela Eugene—ordained minister, associate pastor, author of "HerStory: Surviving the Journey Called Life Through Rejection, Abandonment, and Fear," and "Refresh Your Spirit", a 31-day devotional. Angela shares how her relationship with God deepened in the midst of marital chaos, and how she learned to keep Christ at the center of her marriage.

We explore the impact of fatherlessness in her early years, the shift when her stepdad entered her life at 15, and her emotional journey of reuniting with her biological father—ultimately becoming his caregiver before he passed. Angela opens up about the importance of being a reflection of Jesus’ love, spending intentional time with God, and meditating on His Word.

We also talk about her YouTube and Facebook series, Blessed Conversations, where she encourages others through real, spirit-led dialogue. This episode is filled with raw faith, hard-earned wisdom, and grace-filled truth.
