Together, we peeled back the layers of misconceptions that have long created a chasm between believers who advocate for counseling and those who shun it. Courtney shared her unique journey into counseling and how she's come to view it as a potent tool, backed by biblical wisdom, for healing and personal growth.

Are you on the fence about therapy's role in your faith journey? Courtney and I took a detailed look at the importance of finding a good counselor the role of prayer and mentorship in the healing process, and we tackled the myth that therapy is designed to be a lifelong commitment. We also considered medication's contentious role in mental health treatment and highlighted the necessity of a therapeutic plan that aligns with scriptural teachings. 

Lastly, we delved into the intersection of mental health and Christianity. We pondered the impact of technology and the significance of church initiatives in mental health care. We underscored the power of community and the unique, impartial perspective a counselor can bring. To wrap it up, we reflected on the importance of immersing oneself in the word of God, the potency of spirituality, and how technology might affect mental health.
