If you’ve ever wondered, Does going to therapy mean I don’t trust God enough?—you’re not alone. Many Christians wrestle with this question, especially when grieving. But is this belief actually biblical?
In this episode, we’re breaking down the misconceptions around faith and therapy, looking at what Scripture really says, and exploring how God often works through people—including therapists—to bring healing. You’ll hear a personal story of how therapy changed my grief journey and why seeking help isn’t a sign of weak faith—it’s an act of surrender.
If you’ve been struggling with grief, questioning whether it’s okay to seek help outside of prayer, or feeling like you have to carry this alone, this episode will bring clarity, encouragement, and hope.
