Healthy & Redeemed - Helping Christians Grow in Mental and Spiritual Health

Healthy & Redeemed is a podcast designed to help Christians grow emotionally and spiritually, equipping them to live healthier, more Christ-like lives. Healey Ikerd, a psychotherapist for over 15 years, will blend biblical wisdom with psychological concepts to help listeners learn to manage their emotions, improve their mental health, and deepen their faith.

Practical steps to strengthen your mental and emotional health, including help for anxiety, worry, depression, guilt, and forgiveness.
Simple coping skills you can use every day, grounded in both psychology and Scripture.
How good mental health supports spiritual growth—and how the two work together.
