In this episode, David Chao, director of the Center for Asian American Christianity, welcomes back psychotherapist Sangeetha Thomas, owner of Nepsis Counseling in Dallas, Texas. David and Sangeetha revisit key themes from their earlier conversation, including the challenging topic of death and loss, and expand on how individuals and communities can navigate mental well-being within a faith-centered framework. Join us as we dive deep into the intersections of mental health, faith, and the Asian American Christian experience.
