SURPRISE! 

Yes, Head to Heart ended back in September 2024, but I couldn't refuse an amazing opportunity to interview Dr. Natalie Atwell!

No, I’m not continuing the podcast.

No, I’m not back on Instagram.

No, you cannot count on more episodes like these randomly releasing, BUT...

Dr. Natalie Atwell brings over 20 years of experience in the field of mental health. From her role as a practice owner and clinical director to her educational endeavors in college teaching, Dr. Atwell has been able to encourage individuals, groups, and organizations by sharing hope and healing from God’s word.

Her specialty is the intersection between spiritual warfare and mental health - what a DREAM guest!

We tackle questions such as:

Why does the idea of spiritual warfare being some/all of the reason behind mental illness cause offense and defensiveness in some Christians?

Can a Christian be possessed?

Can a Christian have a demonic stronghold or oppression?

How can we discern what the root cause of mental health struggles are? (whether they are spiritual or mental)

What would you say to a believer who has been recommended they start medication, but they feel hesitant about it?

What are some of the things that can open doors for the demonic?

Transgenderism - why so much so fast in the USA?

Does spiritual warfare come through social media? How does that work?

What are you currently seeing in clients through their experiences with Tik Tok or Instagram?

For someone who’s feeling incredibly lonely and feels like they have a scrolling addiction, what is your advice for them?

What would you say to someone who struggles with their sexual identity or gender identity? What’s really going on in the spiritual realm?

What characteristics or struggles have you observed in Gen Z in your years of experience that are different from generations past?

What will it take to reach Gen Z with the Gospel?

Look out, world: Victoria Hedger is making her 3rd debut on the podcast!

From ages 18 - 20, Victoria was very disoriented in her faith. Doubt and questions turned into confusion, bitterness, offense, and a hardened heart. God was faithful to bring her through that dark time, but He did not stop there. He redeems and heals everything we bring to Him in surrender.

In this episode, we discuss:

- Is using the term "deconstruction" more harmful than it is helpful?

- How can you doubt in a way that will lead to your reconstructing your faith (not keeping you in bitterness or unanswered questions)?

- What can you do to support a friend going through a disorienting time in her faith journey?
