On Water Podcast

In this episode of the On Water Podcast, I share three mental health tips as a psychotherapist who loves Jesus and wants faith and psychology to integrate well. First, in conflict, I practice clarifying intent while also correcting behavior, so I can extend grace and still set boundaries. Second, when I struggle with identity or low self-esteem, I ask where the belief started—often in childhood—and do the deeper work of uprooting lies, forgiving, and grounding my identity in Christ. Third, for anxiety and “what if” thoughts, I follow the thought to the end to find safety, and I calm my body through silence, solitude, prayer, and rest.

In this episode, I'm sharing what God has been doing in my life and encouraging listeners to take steps of faith. I recount leading worship at my church’s youth conference, Awakening, themed “Unbound,” focused on breaking chains, strongholds, and generational curses. Despite intense preparation, my team faced spiritual attacks like sleeplessness and physical pain, and I lost his voice days before the event. After waking at 5 a.m. to pray, I felt God tell me to “just show up” and trust God to sustain me, reflecting on Peter walking on water and Romans 12:3 about faith God distributes. Reflecting on the question “Is He worthy?”—how lifestyle, service, and choices reveal Jesus’ worth—contrasting Judas with the disciples, referencing Proverbs 22 and Joshua 1, and urging perseverance, service, and courage.
