Is It Okay for Christians to Go to Therapy? Summary of the Episode:

Is going to therapy a sign of weak faith—or could it actually be a tool God uses to bring healing? In this episode, I open up about my own journey of wrestling with guilt, shame, and hesitation when I first considered counseling after losing my dad. For years, I believed the lie that if I just prayed harder, I wouldn’t need help. But God showed me that therapy was not a lack of faith—it was an act of wisdom and stewardship.

We’ll break down the stigma surrounding Christians and therapy, explore what Scripture really says about seeking counsel, and talk through how therapy and faith can actually work hand in hand. If you’ve been carrying the heavy weight of grief and wondering if therapy could help, this conversation will give you the clarity and encouragement you need to take a step forward.

Friend, healing after loss is hard—but it’s holy work. And you don’t have to walk this journey alone.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
  • Why seeking therapy doesn’t mean you lack faith—it can actually strengthen your walk with God.
  • Biblical truth that shows how wise counsel is part of God’s design for our healing.
  • How therapy helped me process grief, set boundaries, and grow closer to Christ.
Key Takeaways:
  • Therapy is not a replacement for God—it’s a resource He can use to bring healing and freedom.
  • Healing after losing a parent is messy and stretching, but God meets us in the work.
  • You are not weak for needing help—you are wise for seeking healing and allowing God to use it to draw you closer to Him.
Let’s Connect:

Remember: You’re not alone in your grief or your faith journey. God sees you, loves you, and wants to walk with you every step of the way.
