I started listening to this in April and it is been so helpful in my healing process. I am in the process of going through Good Boundaries and Good Byes. I have studied through It Wasn’t supposed to be This Way, Forgiving What you can’t Forget and and going to go to I want to trust you but I don’t next. This season in my life has been very much a pruning season & still going through it with my personal counsel, church and this as all been a combination of my healing from the death of my marriage of 21 years.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! Your podcast is a Godsend for me! At 62 God is revealing truth and understanding that I have been seeking since my 20’s!!! Right this second I’m blessed to be sitting on the beach with the sounds, smells, and feels of God’s nature listening to God’s wisdom through the three of you! God bless you and please keep this podcast going and sharing resources. Gods bless you all and your team! ❤️ Rosemary

This episode delivers a powerful breakdown of how love bombing and gaslighting unravel a person’s sense of reality. It’s an eye-opening and necessary conversation for anyone navigating emotional or spiritual abuse—and reclaiming their mental health.

I always love the topics and conversations. Lysa is a relatable and gifted host. I just wish she would let her cohosts speak more and not cut them off so quickly/interrupt them.

I love this podcast!! It has helped me to heal, to understand myself and others better. You bring so much light and clarity in each episode, thank you for the theology, the therapy and all the issues 💜

Christian Pastors, Christian Leaders Christian podcasters, etc almost never talk about wives sinning by their sexual rejections. “1 Corinthians 7 means a wife is sinning if she deprives her husband sexually. He should labor to gently help her repent of that sin—while remaining righteous (Gal. 6:1). But the answer isn’t more sin. God says he won’t listen to a man who treats his wife harshly (1 Pt. 3:7).”—Brian Sauvé (Pastor at Refuge Church in Utah) “A woman can use her sexuality to make a husband feel incompetent and inadequate by subtly beating him down with her sexual demands or sexual rejections. She can make him feel like either a sexual incompetent or a sexual beast; in either case she is punishing him, and this certainly indicates a touch of sadism.”—Lewis B. Smedes, ‘Sex for Christians’ Brian Sauvé also states, “Stop saying, "I struggle with porn" if you won't cut off the hand that causes you to sin. Get rid of the phone. Get accountability. Can your home internet. Whatever it takes—cut off the hand. Your soul is at stake. The sexually immoral won't inherit the Kingdom (1 Cor. 6:9–10).”—Brian Sauvé (Pastor at Refuge Church in Utah) “Our world has this un-Biblical idea that in marriage love must be unconditional, but respect must be earned. In Ephesians 5, Paul tells the husband to love their wife unconditionally and tells the wife to respect her husband unconditionally.”—Shaunti Feldhahn, author of the book, For Women Only

I love what I’m learning. You guys are spot on and literally wish I could have some counseling from youn. Thank God I found you

Thank you Jim for bringing attention to this! The church does so much emotional and psychological damage when they tell women to submit to their husband’s sexual demands because men have different sexual needs than women. I spent almost 2 decades in biblical christian counseling convinced I was the problem yet we never addressed my husband’s extensive adolescent porn/sex addiction!! I’m silently suffering but can’t get out because there’s no adultery or blatant physical abuse. I hope many more women will be set free by your words!

I love the different perspectives. They are all so supportive of one another. Love this podcast!

This is one of my all time favorite podcasts. I love how mental health and faith are integrated into the conversations. It is great having the perspectives of all three of the hosts on the topics they discuss. Love it!

This is awesome resourceful guided in biblical scriptures that God provided safe actions to protect your inner health to acknowledge when’s is time to stop unhealthy relationship independently if they are personal or professional with this advice is a target point that helps to kill unsecured undecided doubts action into actionable. This is a topic of conversation into being able to release yourselves from your own chains and remorseful thoughts of misconceptions that holding back to end an unhealthy relationship. Thanks

I’m an impatient podcast surfer; I listen for a few min and if I’m not captivated in the first few mins I quit listening and go to the next one. Let me say this podcast captivated my rapt attention immediately. These 3 will hit home with everyone in a practical way that makes sense. Now I’m going to start with season 1 and go through the whole series

While doing some searches for therapy-driven Podcasts, I came across yours and I’m beyond excited to see you here, Lisa! I’ve listened to your books on Audible, and I take notes like I’m studying a college course and there’s going to be a test at the end, haha. I’m going to start listening to back episodes now, and I look forward to your new Season! Yay! Thank you. - Yvette 💚

This podcast is amazing and I’ve truly been helped not only as a fellow believer but also as an aspiring clinician.

I’m so thankful for this podcast. It has helped me work through so many issues in my life and enabled me to step outside of my whirlwind of emotions and plant my feet on the Truth, The Word of God. I hope this podcast continues, you are changing lives.

I love Lysa’s books, so when I saw this podcast I was excited to give it a listen. I did not expect for it to be as impactful as the books, as it’s “just a podcast”. Oh boy, was I wrong. This podcast has been profound for me! I love how it goes SO deep into the Bible, and therapy! This podcast is what every Christian needs. It gives a better understanding of many Bible verses I’ve read so many times, AND brings understanding to so many healing related topics. Whether they apply to me or not, I’m grateful for them because I might have a friend or family member walking through exactly what is shared. Highly recommend this podcast!

Thank you so much for this podcast!! I’ve listed to every episode, and it’s been so good for my soul. I’m hopeful you will continue this podcast with new episodes🩷🩷🩷

This podcast helped me so much! Can't wait for more!

This helps me prepare & have ideas for my upcoming client who says she’s stuck. Thanks for sharing your lived out advice 🙏

I love that I can come listen and know that this information is based on the Bible, along with studying mental health. It is truth based on truth.

The stories aren’t about life being great, but about the hard lessons learned in every day moments that heals our wounds.

I stumble upon this podcast and I absolutely love it. I want longer episodes with more even more content. I want us to get into the word more. I want to have more therapy tools. I want more help with applying these practices into life. I just want more. And I wish this was year round. Like weekly episodes. Can we also discuss how crazy expensive counseling is? In this economy it’s hard to actually afford counseling. According to businesses my husband makes “too much” for us to receive affordable counseling. But with our budget $120-$150 a session isn’t do able for us. Yet, we want to honor our counselors for what they do. How can one get true healing if they can only meet once a month? We need tools and resources to supplement. This podcast has been a great resource for me. I just want more.

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!

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!!!!
