In this episode, I share my story — from consecrating my life to Christ to earning a Master’s in Clinical Counseling in my 40s and becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor.

You’ll hear:

• why I’m passionate about Christian mental health

• how faith and evidence-based counseling work together

• and why anxiety, control, and renewing your mind matter deeply to me

If you’ve ever wondered whether you can love Jesus and still struggle with anxious thoughts, overwhelm, or emotional suppression — this episode will help you understand the heart behind this podcast.

This space exists because faith and mental health are not enemies.

They belong together.

This episode is part of The Pert Plan™, a Christian mental health podcast grounded in biblical truth and evidence-based wisdom to help you challenge lies, renew your mind, and grow courageous faith.

Hudson Taylor:

“Thus the critical moments of life come with little warning, silently as the sunrise often, shedding Divine illumination upon things unseen. All unexpectedly, one day, we see as we have never seen before. Duty becomes plain in the light of eternity. Then we have reached a turning-point indeed, and everything depends upon the response of the soul to the claims and promises of God." (Dr. & Mrs. Howard Taylor in the biography of his father Hudson Taylor entitled, "Growth of a Soul.")
