Mental Health Bible Study Podcast
This Mental Health Bible Study Podcast is hosted by Tyra E. Rowell, an empath and licensed psychotherapist who loves to talk about life, faith, and mental health despite her speech impediment, which she developed due to hearing loss from birth. She is an educator at heart with the gift of teaching and squeezes in time to create for the glory of God.
Let's talk about why she decided to create this Mental Health Bible Study Podcast. For three reasons. 1. To share knowledge that is not being taught in the church about integrating psychology and Christianity. 2. To share knowledge about the psyche of human beings. Psyche means soul. Your soul is the seat of your feelings, thoughts, and willpower to choose. 3. To share knowledge that will uplift God's people and show them how to embody the biblical scriptures to live a balanced life, rooted in truth, and living in freedom, healed and whole.

Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
It is Mental Health Awareness Month and I'm excited to be talking about mental, emotional, and spiritual health. This episode is teaching how to keep your heart with diligence according to Proverbs 4:23. It is so important to always be careful and persistently working to keep or guard your heart for that's where the issues reside. It is our duty to deal with those issues. I also talk about the six different types of spiritual struggles according to Pargament and Exline (2023). The reference to their article is below.
It is important to look into your environment (work, home, church, finances, community, relationships, etc.) and see if it is having an impact on your mental health in a good way or a bad way. It is also important to look within yourself to determine what you need to do to make sure you are in good standing mentally and emotionally. You don't have to suffer in silence. Help is available.
