Hope for the Mind is a faith-informed psychology podcast exploring the human mind through both psychological insight and biblical truth—without shallow answers, stigma, or reductionist labels.

Through real conversations, thoughtful analysis, and occasional interviews with therapists, counselors, and individuals sharing their lived experiences, the podcast examines topics such as trauma, mental health, neurodiversity, addiction, abuse, identity, and suffering. Each episode challenges popular psychological narratives where needed, affirms what aligns with God’s design, and invites listeners to think deeply about what it means to be whole—mind, body, and spirit.

This is not a therapy session or a self-help show.
It is a space for intellectual honesty, respectful tension, and faith that does not avoid psychological reality.

Hosted by Kristin Ontiveros, who holds a BS in Psychology, an MA in Human Services Counseling, and is currently completing an MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, Hope for the Mind exists for listeners who are tired of psychology divorced from God—and faith that refuses to engage the mind.

New episodes release weekly, offering reflective, research-informed conversations rooted in Scripture and grounded in real life.

If you’re seeking understanding over platitudes and hope that honors both faith and reason, you’re in the right place.
