Therapy and Theology

Lysa TerKeurst

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.

S14 E1 | Is This God, the Enemy or My Own Emotions?
We must avoid living in one of these two extremes: obsessing over the spiritual realm or completely neglecting it. The most balanced place to live is where we're operating in spiritual discernment by the power of the Holy Spirit. Because the devil is crafty, but he is not creative, and God has given us tools to grow in awareness of his schemes without giving in to fear. In this episode, you will learn: How to discern what’s spiritual warfare and what’s simply part of living in a broken world. How to experience feelings like anger, anxiety, and desperation while learning to rule over them and refuse to give in to sin. The difference between spiritual discernment and spiritual bypassing.

In this episode, you will learn how to: Identify sneaky controlling tendencies that may be hiding behind good intentions. Plan for the future without obsessing over the future.

S13 E1 | You’re Not Controlling, You’re Afraid
Most of us aren't "controlling people" by nature. We are usually caring people whose desperation has compelled us try and fix what we already know is beyond our ability to control. But underneath the need to control is often something deeper: fear. And that fear has convinced us that it's our job to fix, manage, and hold everything together. In this episode, you will learn: How to identify the root of what you're truly afraid of. The four components of fear — and how understanding them can change the way you respond. Healthy ways to process and respond the next time someone or something feels out of control.
