The pastors' wives virtually sit down with mental health advocate, speaker, and author of Jesus and Therapy, Tabitha Yates. Tabitha bravely shares her story of growing up in an abusive home, navigating spiritual abuse, and battling deep depression from a young age.

Labeled “rebellious” by toxic church leaders when she was actually struggling, Tabitha opens up about how the church often got it wrong—and how therapy helped her begin to heal.

She shares about the hard work of deconstructing her faith, separating Jesus from harmful church experiences, and finding freedom in forgiveness. She also points out the red flags of spiritual abuse, the importance of healthy church leadership, and her heart for helping others find support, especially when faith and mental health collide.

This one’s for church leaders and anyone who’s been hurt by the church, felt misunderstood, or just needs to know they’re not alone.
