Episode Body, Soul, and Spirit: Dr. Alex on Mental Health in Christianity
In this episode of Words of This Life, hosts Pablo Valenzuela and Ayo Odole sit down with Dr. Alex, a licensed psychologist and board certified pediatric neuropsychologist, for an honest conversation on mental health in light of the Scriptures.
Dr. Alex shares his own testimony of being rescued by the Lord from depression, and he opens up how the Bible tenderly addresses the whole person: body, soul, and spirit (1 Thess. 5:23). Together we unpack the Lord as the “Shepherd and Overseer of our souls” (1 Pet. 2:25), a High Priest who is “touched with the feeling of our weaknesses” (Heb. 4:15), and God’s cherishing care for Elijah in his darkest moment (1 Kings 19).
Join us to talk through stigma, “thinking errors” that shape anxiety and depression, the role of trauma, and practical ways to foster an atmosphere where people can open up and receive real care, without fear or judgment.
Inspired by Acts 5:20, Words of This Life features real testimonies from real believers, showing that Christ is alive, active, and speaking today.
