Jesus + Therapy
"God is not threatened by you going to therapy. The one who flung the stars in the sky and gave breath of life to the first human beings after creating them from the dust of the earth is not threatened by you deciding, you need therapy. I co-authored a directory of faith affirming mental health counselors to help believers understand that both Jesus and therapy can exist and are often times needed together to assure sustainable healing."
