Lysa, Joel and Jim what a combination you 3 are! I absolutely love listening to y’all talk and speak Truth. Your vulnerability is an inspiration, Lysa. I pray that y’all will be back soon! Jim and Joel I love how y’all both tackle these conversations! Thank you all!

I really enjoy everything Lysa! I was excited to try this podcast that brings psychology and the Bible together. But after listening for a few seasons I have to say - I find Jim hard to follow. He often starts a sentence but doesn’t finish it, or hops to a scripture instead. I respect the skill and knowledge these three bring to the table but I find myself skipping it more often.

The episode S7 E5 Am I trying to control things that are out of my control - spoke to my soul. This is a game changer. I have been waking up in the middle of the night and not able to get back to sleep because my mind is going over and over and over and over trying to fix issues in my life. I’ve been getting 3-5 hours of sleep at night, seems like forever. I will now put into practice what I have learned on this podcast to take every thought captive to obey Christ. Thank you so much!

I’m a young mother two three blessings, and have grown up in an emotionally immature home as a child filled with trauma. My LORD AND SAVIOR has set me free and has allowed me so many opportunities to sanctify myself with regard to emotions while parenting. This past week I had a moment with my 6 year old son where I chose to escalate. I have been convicted about needing my to practice Self control and edify my emotions. I don’t listen to podcasts, but happened to stumble upon this podcast and instantly became hooked by therapy with theology! I’m so grateful that the second episode just spoke to me!! Thank you for all you do!

Love the content and love the structure of these podcast episodes. Have really enjoyed the mini series with Jim most recently. Lysa just has a way of speaking directly into my soul!

Please go listen to something else, that actually contains sound biblical doctrine. Try Mark Dever, Jen Wilkin, John McArthur, or Nancy Guthrie instead.

I really enjoy listening to these podcasts. They bring insight into problems many of us have. I like that 3 perspectives are given, especially since they each have a different background. Many of the issues are ones either we don’t want to admit we have or we don’t want to deal with them.

Hello Lysa, I know you are a trustworthy person and I have been so impressed with your vulnerability and ability to share your story in an authentic way. I wanted to let you know that the communication company and or person that you hired to do your Facebook and twitter posts is a complete fraud. Please verify their identity and authenticity. I tried to email you via your website and it would not let me comment. I did not want to text you because that would be intrusive.

Your discussions on hard topics are so Refreshing! Talking about what the Bible says about Healthy Relationship vs. Unhealthy Relationship is so needed. I appreciate your honesty and vulnerability, bringing in real life experiences, being curious and willing to speak up. Thank You 😊

There really are no words to say how helpful this podcast has been to me. Walking through divorce as a Christian woman is lonely and full of deep dark holes. All of my church friends are quiet , my adult children are sad and probably just want me to go back home. This podcast and Leslie Vernick’s podcast have given me the courage to face all of the unknowns in my current life and my future life. Thank you Lysa and team💕💕

This episode about humility and coming beside someone in grief is so power!!

I have listened to the first 4 seasons and am ready to dive in as they keep coming. Very sound advice that is applicable and helpful for difficult life seasons. ❤️

Lysa is good. She’s not claiming to be a counselor or a theologian. She’s bringing to the podcast her experience and what she has learned and brings good topics and discussions that are relevant to the table. The problem comes in with Joel and Jim. I don’t know how many times I’ve heard “your truth” from the professional counselor. Is truth subjective? The “theologian” seemingly uses eisegesis, placing a counseling or therapy concept over scripture and reading passages through the lenses of the concepts. Forcing certain ideas into scripture that’s aren’t there or not where the hosts say they are. Not good. It was hard to get through to the episode on the topic of boundaries because of that. I think this podcast is the only one of it’s kind and I applaud its attempt. There needs to be more melding of psychology and theology in a biblical, practical and effective way. Many go to the extreme in either direction and loose the benefits of the other. And these individuals aren’t as biblically accurate as I’d hope.

Lysa, Jim, and Joel, I love the insight that each one of you bring to the podcast. I listened to one episode and it changed my life. I’ve known of God and I’ve been to secular counseling but there was always something missing. This podcast combines both and it’s been a game changer for my life. I’m so grateful I found this podcast. I have a closer relationship to God than I ever have before.

I can’t get enough of these episodes. Please keep them coming! 👏👏👏👏

While going through a hard time, I researched books to read for self growth and came upon Good Boundaries and Goodbyes. This book was exactly what I needed to help begin my healing process and learn how to create healthy boundaries! I searched other books by Lysa and then came across this podcast and it has been so life changing for me! The first episode I listened to was about attachment styles and it blew my mind! I realized my style and knew I had to make changes for myself to grow and work at being secure with myself and my relationships!! Lysa, Jim, and Joel are phenomenal and has really opened my eyes and be more self aware and to work at healthy habits! Thank you for this amazing gift you three are giving everyone and changing lives!

I have Lysa and the right timing to thank for being on this journey. I’ve reached a point where I’m open to the Lords teaching and being able to believe in something. I listen to this podcast daily. I now own 3 of Lysa’s books with plans of purchasing many more. I purchased my first Bible and I plan to start going to Church with a few of my friends after the holidays. I’m excited to learn and continue on my journey. Please don’t ever stop this podcast!

This podcast has great help for all types of instances of life. The talk through boundaries, communication, family relationships and self help. I listen for encouragement as I deal with difficult people in my life. It’s a must have for me. Thank you for the content.

I have always loved to study the intersection of theology and psychology. So much so that I went back to school to pursue a double major in the psychology of addiction and Christian counseling, discovering this podcast has helped me personally to deal with and process, some difficult seasons in my life while at the same time equipping me to be of service to others.

What a huge addition to this space. Lysa combines counseling and theology to create a sound word for those who need help. Thank you for making this available to the masses. I don’t feel alone.

All the discussions on Therapy and Theology have been life changing! I came from an unhealthy marriage that has been transformed through God's word and wisdom that Lysa, Jim, and Joel have faithfully delivered through their podcast. God has truly transformed my way of thinking that has helped me better understand how to deal with my own imperfections that were causing division in my marriage. Listening to Therapy and Theology has renewed my mind and given me tactical psychological tools to help me change my negative behaviors and long time destructive attitudes to a complete 180 into a positive new self awareness that nutures and fosters a godly culture in my life.

Thanks for taking the time to present those bite-sized nuggets in season 4. Of course, I have loved every episode, I appreciate the camaraderie of the three hosts. I enjoy the laughter shared and the deep moments together. You have a GREAT thing going, bringing such balance and healing for so many hurting women. -Misty

I have been dealing with trauma and abuse which happened in my past, but is significantly impacting my present. The turmoil I am facing has been overwhelming. Listening to this podcast has been one tool God brought into my life that is helping me to experience some calm and peace. It pairs my need for healing and understanding of what is going on in my heart with my need to know how God views me, my emotions, and thoughts. I feel less alone knowing others have been through similar experiences, and they are willing to walk with me in the pain and encourage me to move toward healing. Thank you for making this available to me.

I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to Therapy & Theology podcasts. The three leaders (Lysa, Joel and Jim) share real topics from both biblical and Christian counseling perspective. It has helped me in my own thinking and walk with the Lord. Thank you!

I am listening to three people who all bring a great deal to the podcast. Thanks for making this podcast.

An excellent helpful podcast to remind me and teach me how I can grow in my relationships whether they are struggling or doing okay.

I love this podcast! It’s very relatable & you can easily find a topic in your current season. I love learning more on the theology side of the Bible. Definitely recommend this podcast to friends!

Ever since I found this podcast, I can’t stop listening to it! I listen to different episodes multiple times when I feel they resonate with my current situations. It has changed my outlook on my own life and behaviors. Very transformative, and I praise God for it!

I have always struggled with truly understanding the scripture and applying it to my life and I love how this podcast speaks about topics that are so relatable and relevant to so many. Then the way each scripture is explained in such depth from not only Lysa, but from Joel as well, then a licensed therapist able to put things in a perspective from an understandable therapeutic perspective, and lastly knowing that Lysa is addressing the issues that she herself has experienced and struggled through packages this gift of education, understanding, and empathy so perfectly! Again as I said in the title, only complaint is that there’s not very many episodes per season with long breaks between seasons. This podcast is needed for so many so please more episodes!!!!

This podcast is simply incredible. It’s everything I needed and more. I’ve been listening to it on my way to work and then relistening when I get home so I can reflect everything I’m learning in my journal. I’m so grateful for this podcast.

Thank you for this podcast. It has helped me so much these past few months in my life.

These always encourage me in my walk with Jesus and in my emotional health journey!! It’s inspiring!! Keep making them!!!

So wonderful to hear three people who love the LORD share how God is teaching them Bible verses through life’s twists and turns. The therapist in this group who has Lysa do the index cards to forgive people was amazing. I’m going to do this at home! Thank you!

Lysa you have verbalized my own inner turmoil as my marriage died. Your thoughts and struggles echo mine. As you work through these horrible wounds, questions, traumas, thinkings that are born out of betrayal I can totally relate. I so appreciate your honesty because you are sharing the cries of my heart and sharing scripture and truth that is bringing healing to my mind and heart that have been so hurt snd confused by my former husband. I was married 33 years and have 6 children. I wrote devotionals for Provetbs 31 ministries online years ago. Like you, I NEVER thought I would be divorced. I so appreciate your honesty in sharing how you felt and what you had believed that held you back from moving forward and healing. I just found this podcast and I am feeling more free and less burdened. I too tried to hold my husband, marriage and family together. I met for Christian counsel and was told if I continued to try to hold onto my husband marriage and family that it would destroy me. My OBGYN recommended the best marriage counselor in my city. I met with him, I didn’t even know if he was a Christian, he told me that my husband was “evil” and that I should divorce him. This was the LAST thing I wanted to hear. I wanted someone to help me fix my marriage. At the end of my marriage I was diagnosed with RA and Sjogrens. During separation the financial and emotional abuse caused arrhythmia and I had to have my heart shocked back into rhythm. I developed AFIB and arrhydue to literal physical scars on my heart from the stress. This past week my inflammation levels are in the normal range after 6 years. I am meeting with surgical cardiologist to discuss a going to discuss a 3rd ablation on my heart to hopefully heal my heart so that I can stop heart meds and be free of the heart issue. It has been 6 years since I first found out that my husband was having an affair. 3 years since I was divorced. Less than a year since alimony was awarded. My ex and I have a son who has Down syndrome and we will co-parent the rest of our lives. He is living with the woman he had an affair with. To say I need your podcast is an UNDERSTATEMENT! 😂You have really helped me, Lysa. As you have been devastated I have been devastated. One night I was lying in bed listening to you share how you at one point were in the fetal position, and I burst into tears. Because I felt that depth of pain and sadness and grief. And my ex seems so “happy”. He tells me he is in the best health of his life. But as you reminded me “sin comes with consequences”. Thank you for this podcast that is giving me a ladder to climb out of this deep tragedy. Each podcast is another rung I can grasp and stand upon and move up and out of this emotional and might I add physical pain. I am a survivor. My ex tried to destroy me—but God protected ma snd provided for all of my needs! I am thriving. I was a homemaker:homeschool mom wife of a CEO. I’m now a single mom teaching at a school for special needs! I teach at my son’s school. After my kids were grown I wanted to write and do art. I have sold paintings since my separation! I’m off this summer for 8 weeks and am going to focus on being creative. I’m tithing and have no stress in my finances (though my ex made 6 figures there was always financial stress). Stress was a common denominator in all areas of our lives. I need to celebrate all the victories and all of the miracles that God has done for me. I just wanted God to take me out of this trial, to heal my husband and marriage. But instead I learned what free will means. I learned about betrayal. I had an epiphany about how God feels when people that He loves walk away from Him. My initial prayer when I realized my marriage was ending was that I would not be a bitter and resentful woman. Thank you for addressing all of my issues and struggles and helping me through this. I went through a hard marriage that became destructive. But I was not destroyed. I look forward to living again. Thank you.

Vulnerability; for using your maddening Bad, Sad divorce journey to teach us how to reflect on our own divorces without marinating in the shame & blame. I unknowingly enabled for over 50 years. I’ve been listening to Christian counselors throughout my own journey and until listening to you, I’ve felt most counselors ( with some exceptions like yours, Leslie Vernick & Dr. David E Clarke) really don’t “get it.” Please do some podcasts on going through the divorce journey with now adult children who have no idea the pain their mom endured because she enabled & covered for their covert abusive father who has never told the truth nor owned any of the destruction he brought on your family and that continues to this day. Thank You!

I’m so excited about this podcast! My husband left about 2 years ago & since then I’ve tried so many podcasts & met with an awesome Christian counselor several times but no one quite knew what I was really going through until I started listening to this! I am so thankful you’re using your pain for this good Lysa! Since I’ve started listening to these podcasts, I have seen things more clearly than ever & it’s been a huge help! Thank God for you three!

Lysa, Jim and Joel make a fabulous team and I so look forward to each episode. I have gained so many good pieces of information. Thank you I hope to see and hear many more.

I want to shout about this series from the rooftop! I could just listen to Lysa, Jim and Joel for hours with all their helpful and soul-piercing wisdom they share. I wish Jim was my personal counselor! He has made me realize that I perhaps need to seek out a new one with how deep and challenging He goes. Incredible how the Lord is working through Him! Lysa, thank you for allowing God to use your pain for His glory! I just started walking the divorce path, a place I vehemently never wanted to be, and while I know it was the right choice, I am still struggling with this being my new reality and if it is really something that was ok to do. Your podcast had been insurmountable in it’s helpfulness and I wonder if I knew this content years ago, if I would have even made it 18 years married and called my husband out sooner. I absolutely love the emphasis on the theology for that really is the core of it all, isn’t it-and why we struggle with the doubt and confusion. It is truly incredible to see how God is making beauty out of your ashes, and how He is freeing people by your willingness to be obedient and vulnerable on such a large scale.

I am truly grateful for this podcast! God has used you to open my eyes in so many ways! I am in a very hard season but I see that God is right by my side. Blessings!

I love the perspective of theology and therapy coming together to make sense of things we go though in real life. They really do give you a lot to think about; i’m grateful for this podcast!

Thank you for bringing together these three perspectives!!! It has been a puzzle for me to balance my own wonderings with scripture and the explanation of counseling. A million hugs of gratitude to all who are making this podcast/info possible. Mainly… thanks to THE KING for inspiring you and directing you on this path!

This podcast tackles the real hurts of life through a Jesus lens. They don’t shy away from the earth shattering or pour Christian cliches over them. This is a true resource for the broken.

I’d like to think of myself as a trust worthy reviewer. This Podcast was brought to me direct by the Holy Spirit since my search wasn’t quite hitting what I was looking for. This podcast (still have no idea how I actually ended on it) appeared and has given me a sense of clarity, hope and peace. They cover topics in-depth and actually approach mental health, behavioral and other emotional issues from a very professional and psychological angle and giving practical and profession guidance to navigate those things all while doing so in a theologically profound way. It’s validating, challenging, and leaves you wanting to seek Christ to be more like Him.

This podcast has been life changing for me. Many questions I’ve had for years and too scared to dive into have been answered here and it’s given in a good, biblically sound way. It has taught me what is wrong with my relationships and given me sound advice on how to deal with that or fix it.

In first episode, there is a reference to a session of what forgiveness is and what is it not…. Where can I find access to that?

These sessions have been so awesome. I have thoroughly enjoyed these and truly hope it is continued. I will start all over again and listen again. Even if someone isn’t walking through challenges with a marriage or maybe some of the other topics, you can still gleam so much insight. I have had so much info revealed to me. Thank you for doing them.

Broken? Confused? Free falling? When life isn't at all what it's supposed to be, when all you have lovingly done is rejected, when you can't figure out which way is up, Lysa, Joel, and Jim understand and will share their God-given wisdom and knowledge to help you bear the crushing storm on your arduous journey.

I find this podcast so informative and fascinating! Honestly, it doesn’t feel like a podcast. It feels like I’m listening in to a conversation among friends at the kitchen table….which, in essence, I think is what this is! The 3 dimensionality and completeness of the information you are discussing and the truth of God’s Word as the anchor to it all is just incredibly profound to me!

Lysa and her team on the podcast are informative, spiritual and easy to listen to. Love the topics and transparencies.

Thank you for this podcast! When you tackle these difficult issues with wisdom and scripture and experiences it’s very edifying. So many Christian people and institutions don’t talk about these things. I’ve been a believer since childhood and during COVID (and after) was confronted with demons and memories I knew about and a whole lot of things I had no idea were there! I am blessed to have a terrific counselor who walked with me through all of it and so when I listen to this podcast I hear the truth of what you are saying about hard things. Just listened to How to have hard conversations…very very true and very helpful.
