Have you ever wondered, “Why do I feel this way… and what do I do with it?”


You’re in the right place. I’m Luke Merrill, and on this podcast, we’re going to figure this out together.

Episode Summary:


Welcome to the very first episode of the Mental Health Monday Podcast. In this opening conversation, I introduce myself, share my story, and explain why I believe mental health and faith belong in the same sentence. You’ll hear why I became a counselor, what I’ve learned from sitting with people in pain, and who this podcast is for. My hope is that this space becomes a place of honesty, practical growth, and lasting hope.

In this episode, we explore:
• My story and journey into counseling
• How faith and mental health intersect in real life
• Why I care so deeply about emotional healing
• Common struggles people bring into counseling
• What you can expect from future episodes

Who this podcast is for:
Anyone wrestling with anxiety, heavy emotions, shame, or the feeling of being “too much” or “not enough”
Parents, teens, young adults, and believers who want practical tools and biblical encouragement

Reflection Question:
What is one small thing you can do this week to care for your mental health? Keep it simple.

Closing Encouragement:
This space is about honesty, hope, and practical growth. You’re not alone, and I’m grateful you’re here.
