DNDW 9: Emotional Health & Flourishing

What if the uncomfortable emotions you're experiencing aren’t sins or failures, but invitations? In this raw conversation, Christine chats with Christy Boulware, author of Nervous Breakthrough, to talk about stewarding our mental and emotional health. This isn't about quick fixes or spiritual bypassing—it's an honest exploration of recognizing our emotions as information and invitations that deserve attention, not shame.

You'll discover:

• How to integrate body, mind, and spirit
• Why anxiety isn't proof you lack faith
• How to navigate medication, counseling, and spiritual growth together

This episode is for you if:

• You're tired of slapping a hope and a prayer on deep pain
• You're afraid your emotions offend or disappoint God
• You're stuck in fight, flight, or freeze

Christine and Christy share the messy, honest reality of stewarding emotional health while following Jesus. Most importantly, they offer what so many need to hear: "I believe you. You're not crazy. You deserve help."

Content Note: This episode addresses suicidal ideation, panic attacks, anxiety, depression, divorce, betrayal, and trauma. It's honest, vulnerable, and potentially triggering—but also deeply healing for those ready to do the work.
