  • The Role of God and a Therapist

    In this thought-provoking episode, Diallo and Brennan unpack the delicate balance between relying on God and depending on your therapist.

    Have we unintentionally placed our therapist in a role that belongs to God? What does it look like to bring our full emotional selves to both the prayer closet and the therapy room?

    This conversation explores:

    • Why God is our ultimate source of healing

    • How therapy can be a powerful tool, but not a substitute for spiritual connection

    • The risk of spiritualizing everything vs. over-pathologizing pain

    • Encouragement for believers navigating faith and emotional wellness

    If you've ever wrestled with when to pray and when to process, this episode is for you.
