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.

Customer Reviews
Life Changing!
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.
Season 4 is a home-run
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.

Calms my soul
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.
