Many Christians hesitate to pursue counseling, fearing it shows a lack of faith. In this candid conversation, Jake McCandless and Corretta Woodard break down why emotional health matters and how therapy partners with faith. Corretta reminds us that Scripture calls for wise counsel (Proverbs 11:14) and that unprocessed pain doesn’t disappear with time. Emotional health is the fruit of mental health priority, and ignoring wounds today can hand baggage to our kids tomorrow. From regulating anger to grounding ourselves in the present moment, Corretta offers simple tools and biblical wisdom to help parents lead from a place of wholeness. Jake shares how these practices transformed his marriage, ministry, and ability to parent with grace. Guest Bio: Corretta Woodard “I’m not perfect. But I’m whole.
