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. The goal is to help listeners live out God’s word in every aspect of their lives and be healthy reflections 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.
