In today's episode a rare conversation unfolds regarding the benefits of therapy when dealing with one's mental health. Whilst identifying therapy can go hand in hand with faith as it allows individuals to gain a better understanding of how the mind works. Our host also recognises the reality that Christians tend not to speak about mental which can be dangerous. 

The conversation covers a range of topics including dealing with roots; feeling judged with those you're familiar with; the human desire to have someone tangible to speak with and whether therapy can be a window for people to find an outlet.

Their union is rare in today's society; providing the perfect analogy that as husband and wife they are each others mirror.   Crucial to our conversation they illustrated marriage is a representation of your relationship with Christ, which many fail to understand. Discussing the reality of married life they highlighted that as humans we are always willing to teach, but sometimes not willing to learn. Yet, through their marriage and their devotion to God they have understood that neither of them are perfect and their marriage requires constant investment.
