#37 The Church, Counseling, and the Stuff We Don’t Talk About


Listen Later

There are places in your soul you’ve told no one about.

Rooms you’ve locked.

Wounds you’ve buried.

Stories you swore you’d never revisit.

But what if healing doesn’t come by hiding?

What if Jesus is already in that room, waiting on you to stop pretending and start inviting?

In this Subtext episode, Pastor Tim Riddick sits down with licensed therapist and former youth pastor Luke Kokhler for a conversation that’s part counseling session, part confession booth, and fully soaked in Holy Spirit honesty.

They talk trauma.

They talk therapy.

They talk about the church, masculinity, father wounds, and what it means to heal when you’ve been numb for years.

You’ll hear raw stories of brokenness — but also the redemptive whisper of grace:

You’re not too far.

You’re not too broken.

And you’re not alone.

This one’s not just a listen — it’s an invitation.

To trade spiritual suppression for emotional honesty.

To see counseling not as a sign of weak faith, but a form of worship.

To let Jesus into the pain and let healing begin.
