In this episode Rebecca Maxwell helps translate common biblical words—like lust, pride, and envy—into clinical and practical mental health terms. She explores scripture, clinical perspectives, and the deeper longings behind these struggles.

Welcome to Jesus and Your Mental Health Season 3! In this episode, we take a “zoom out” to define mental health biblically—examining personhood as heart, soul, mind, and strength—and discuss the ways that stress, Sabbath, and faith shape resilience.
