Healthy & Redeemed - Helping Christians Grow in Mental and Spiritual Health
Healthy & Redeemed is a podcast helping Christians grow emotionally and spiritually toward healthier, more Christ-like living.
The host, Healey Ikerd, a psychotherapist with nearly 20 years of experience and a U.S. Army Veteran, blends biblical wisdom with psychological concepts to help you learn to manage your emotions, improve your mental health, and deepen your faith. The goal is to help you live out God’s word in every aspect of your life and be a healthy reflection of Jesus Christ.
In this podcast, we will talk about:
- 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.
- How living out biblical principles brings emotional stability, peace, and healthier relationships.
- What it really looks like to trust God more deeply in your thoughts, habits, and decisions.
- How to live out your faith in real, practical ways during ordinary moments and difficult seasons.
- How to nurture a healthier brain, including tools that reshape thought patterns and support long-term well-being.
- Developing Christ-centered thinking, replacing unhealthy thoughts with truth.
- Building resilience through community, healthy boundaries, and God-honoring connections.
