Smith for a powerful yet practical conversation about how you can develop God-honoring, effective mental health care strategies in your life, starting today! Laura shares the tools that you need to rest in God's unconditional love and to find your strength and peace in Him.   Whether you're walking through a hard season or simply need encouragement for your journey, this episode is a reminder that you're not alone — and that healing and hope are possible in Jesus.   RESOURCES FROM THIS EPISODE laurasmithauthor.com Holy Care for the Whole Self: Biblical Wisdom for Mental and Spiritual Well-Being Connect with Laura on Instagram!   ABOUT OUR SPECIAL GUEST Laura L.

And when we do, surely goodness and mercy will follow us all the days of our lives.” Laura lives in the picturesque college town of Oxford, Ohio. There you’ll find her running the wooded trails, strolling the brick streets, teaching a local Bible study, shopping at the Saturday morning farmer’s market, or going on a sunset walk with her family.
