What does it look like to navigate disappointment as Christians while caring for our mental and emotional health? In this episode of The Firebrand Show, we sit down with special guest Monica Jones, a licensed therapist and mother of our hosts, Monique and Malachi, as we begin a conversation about faith, therapy, vulnerability, and what it means to pursue true healing and wholeness.

We talk about the relationship between faith and therapy, addressing common misconceptions that seeking professional help means a lack of faith or that we should rely on God alone without accepting the resources He has provided. Monica shares her journey to becoming a therapist, how her personal experiences shaped her desire to help others, and why education is important when it comes to serving people well. We explore how God can use others and their gifts to help us grow, why our brains deserve the same care and attention as our physical bodies, and how pride, fear, and the need for control can sometimes keep us from receiving the help we need.

This conversation is just the beginning, so stay tuned for Part 2 as we continue exploring how to navigate disappointment through the lens of faith and mental health.
