Episode 15: Christians don't need counseling?
In episode 15 of The Conscious Christian Marriage Podcast, hosts Rachel and Austin Holt continue their powerful series debunking five mutual exclusives that often limit our faith and marriages. In this insightful discussion, they tackle the misconception that Christians must choose between counseling and relying on God as the "Great Counselor." They reveal how seeking help from both a counselor and God can coexist to enrich your spiritual and emotional well-being.
Drawing from biblical teachings and personal stories, this episode explores why relying solely on God for emotional or mental health may limit the healing that trained counselors—also anointed by God—can offer. Rachel and Austin share examples of how embracing both divine guidance and professional help creates deeper freedom, growth, and resilience in marriage and life.
Key Topics Covered:
- Why faith in God and professional counseling are not mutually exclusive.
- Biblical examples of seeking counsel from others within the body of Christ.
- Personal stories of healing through combining faith and therapy.
- Encouragement for Christians to seek counseling without feeling shame or doubt in their faith.
If you or someone you know struggles with the pressures of marriage, faith, or mental health, this episode provides hope, clarity, and actionable steps toward healing.
