Have you ever looked at a situation you’re facing in utter disbelief and thought, "How will I ever get over this?" Lysa TerKeurst understands. After years of heartbreak and emotional trauma, she realized it’s not about just getting over hard circumstances but learning how to work through what she has walked through. Now, she wants to help you do the same. That’s why Lysa teamed up with her personal, licensed professional counselor, Jim Cress, alongside the Director of Theological Research at Proverbs 31 Ministries, Dr. Joel Muddamalle, to bring you "Therapy & Theology." While Lysa, Jim and Joel do tackle some really hard topics, you’ll soon find they're just three friends having a great conversation and learning from each other along the way.

Life saving
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💕💕
Don’t be the first to let go!
This episode about humility and coming beside someone in grief is so power!!
Life changing advice!
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. ❤️
