How God Designed Your Mind: A Therapist's Perspective—with Rachael Gilbert

If you've ever wondered what therapy looks like through a Christian lens, or how God designed the mind to work with the Spirit, this episode will open your eyes in the best way.

Last week, we talked about how faith and psychology can actually work together — but today, we're going even deeper with someone who lives at that intersection every single day. I'm joined by licensed therapist, author, and speaker Rachael Gilbert, and this conversation is truly a masterclass in how the brain and the gospel fit together.

Rachael brings her clinical training and her faith story to unpack the science behind fear, identity, body image, and healing. She explains what's happening in your mind during anxiety, why core beliefs shape everything, how shame rewires your brain, and what it looks like to actually restore your identity in Christ from the inside out.

You're going to walk away with clear steps for your own healing journey, and I cannot wait for you to listen!
