Are Too Many People Medicated… or Too Few? | Medication, Mental Health & Faith (with Keesha Nathaniel, APRN, DNP, PMHNP)

Are too many people on psychiatric medication?

Yes.

Are too few people getting the help they need?

Also yes.

In this episode of Dr. Pepper & Friends, I sit down with Keesha Nathaniel, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, to talk honestly about medication, mental health, and faith — cutting through fear, stigma, and quick-fix thinking.

We discuss when medication can be life-giving, when it may not be necessary, and why wise mental health care is never just about a prescription. This conversation explores how medication, counseling, lifestyle, relationships, and spiritual growth can work together for real healing.

If you’ve ever wondered:

✔ Do I really need medication for anxiety or depression?

✔ Is taking medication a sign of weak faith?

✔ How does a responsible psychiatric evaluation actually work?

✔ Can medication help — without becoming the whole solution?

…this episode will help you think clearly and make informed decisions.

Our goal isn’t more medication or less medication — it’s the right care for the right person at the right time.

From 2/18/26 Fellowship Men Bible Study

Genesis 22 The Promised Fulfilled! Men"s Bible Study February 11, 2026, Pepper Pratt

Men's Bible study at Fellowship Bible Church in Jackson, TN 2/4/26, Genesis 20. Pepper Pratt.

Authentic faith isn’t built on intensity, willpower, or spiritual performance. It’s formed over time—through trust, humility, and endurance rooted in grace.

In this episode of Dr. Pepper & Friends, Pepper is joined by Chris Smith for a thoughtful conversation on Spiritual Grit—what it is, what it isn’t, and why so many men confuse pressure with faithfulness.

Together, they explore:

why grit without grace leads to burnout

how spiritual grit differs from white-knuckled discipline

what actually sustains men when life is heavy or unclear

how faith is formed through practice, not performance

This conversation is part of our January series, The State of the Man, examining what truly helps men live steady, faithful lives under real responsibility.

The themes here connect to a broader training framework called FieldCraft—designed to help men build emotional, relational, and spiritual strength for real life. Not as hype or motivation, but as formation.

When grit and grace come together, men don’t just endure—they become whole.

Genesis 19 from Men's Bible Study

January 21, 2026

Authenticity is something most men say they want—but far fewer feel safe or equipped to practice.

In this episode of Dr. Pepper & Friends, Pepper is joined by pastor and friend Jeremy Brown of Journey Church Jackson, TN for an honest conversation about men, relationships, and authenticity.

Together, they explore why many men long for deeper connection yet remain guarded; how performance, silence, or control often replace presence; and why authenticity is not oversharing, but the ability to stay grounded and honest without posturing or withdrawing.

This conversation is part of our January series, The State of the Man—a set of dialogues examining what actually helps men live steady, faithful lives under real responsibility.

The themes in this episode also connect to a broader training framework Pepper has been developing called FieldCraft. Not as a pitch or a program, but as a response to the gap many men feel between knowing what matters and being able to live it—especially in relationships.

No fluff.

No pressure.

Just an honest conversation about what it takes to show up well.

If this resonates, stay close. More conversations are coming.

Men of Fellowship Bible Study Genesis 18

What happens when a man neglects his need for adventure? Aaron Grissom joins Dr. Pepper & Friends to talk about this often unspoken topic.

FieldCraft is live.

Learn more at https://www.fieldcraftoutdoorco.com/

In this episode of The State of the Man, I sit down with Aaron Grissom to talk about something many men feel—but don’t always know how to name: the need for adventure.

Not reckless thrill-seeking.

Not escape.

But what I call tactical adventure—intentional, repeatable challenge that keeps a man grounded, present, and alive in the life he already has.

We explore:

Why adventure uniquely draws men

What adventure does for a man’s heart, confidence, and clarity

The difference between big, once-in-a-lifetime adventures and smaller, frequent ones

Forms of adventure beyond hunting and fishing

How men seek stimulation maladaptively when adventure isn’t intentional

There’s real data showing that challenge, uncertainty, and outdoor engagement improve mental health—yet most men only engage occasionally. We talk about what’s lost when adventure becomes optional instead of formative.

This conversation is for men who:

• Carry responsibility

• Feel restless but can’t quite explain why

• Want strength without posturing

• Want depth without burnout

Adventure isn’t extra.

It’s regulatory.

If you’ve ever felt more alive when something was at stake—and flatter when nothing was—this conversation is for you.

This episode is part of The State of the Man series, exploring men and their emotions, relationships, purpose, grit, and the practices that help men live steady, present lives.
