Your mental health matters to God. This raw, heartfelt conversation peels back the layers of shame and stigma that often prevent Christians from seeking the help they desperately need.

Jess courageously shares her darkest moments as a newly divorced single mom—days spent hiding under covers, barely functioning, believing her depression was simply something to "get over." The turning point came through a song on Spirit FM that reminded her she was redeemed and deserving of more than endless days of despair. When she finally sought help, her pastor's affirming words—"Jesus and therapy go hand in hand"—opened the door to a decade-long healing journey.

Steph adds her perspective as someone who needed therapy to process sexual abuse trauma, highlighting how professional help enabled her to work through forgiveness and understand that her experience didn't diminish her worth. Together, they explore how biblical figures like Elijah, David, and even Jesus himself experienced profound emotional distress, proving that mental health struggles aren't evidence of spiritual failure.

Whether you're struggling yourself or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers permission to embrace all the resources God provides for mental wellness. Share this episode with someone who needs to hear that loving Jesus and seeing a therapist can absolutely go hand in hand.
