  I’m Christian and I Struggle with Church Trauma ft. Dr. Anu Ropo-Tusin, MD 24.08.2026 1godz 18min

  What happens when the place that was supposed to help you encounter God becomes a source of pain?Church trauma can be complicated—especially when you still love Jesus, but you’ve been hurt by His people.In this episode of Jesus & Psychology, I’m joined by Dr. Anu Ropo-Tusin, MD for an honest conversation about church hurt and trauma from both psychological and Christian perspectives.We explore how painful experiences within the church can affect our mental health, relationships, faith, and understanding of God. We talk about church trauma across different stages of life, the experiences of both church members and leaders, and the complicated yet fruitful process of healing.What does it actually mean to forgive?Can you forgive someone without pretending the hurt didn’t happen?And how do you heal without allowing what happened to redefine your relationship with God? These are some of the questions we wrestle with.If you’ve ever been hurt, betrayed, disappointed, abused, or unsafe in a church environment—or you’ve struggled to reconcile your experience with the God you believe in—this conversation is for you.Church hurt doesn’t have to be the end of your faith story.Follow @jesusandpsychology on all podcast and social media platforms for more conversations at the intersection of faith and psychology.

  I’m Christian and I Struggle with Imposter Syndrome ft. Tjsarx 20.07.2026 1godz 5min

  Have you ever felt like you’re not enough, that you’re a fraud, or that one day everyone will realize you don’t belong?You’re not alone.In this episode of Jesus & Psychology, I’m joined by creative, musician, and storyteller Tjsarx for an honest conversation about imposter syndrome through both a psychological and biblical lens. Together, we unpack why so many gifted, high-achieving people wrestle with comparison, perfectionism, and the fear of being “found out.”We explore what psychology reveals about imposter syndrome, how our identity can become tied to performance, and why the gospel invites us to root our confidence in Christ rather than our accomplishments.Whether you’re a creative, entrepreneur, student, leader, or simply navigating a season of imposter feelings, this conversation offers practical insight, biblical encouragement, and the reminder that you don’t have to earn the identity God has already given you.Because confidence isn’t found in believing more in yourself—it’s found in believing what God says about you.Follow @jesusandpsychology on all podcast and social media platforms for more conversations at the intersection of faith and science.

  I’m Christian and I Struggle with Depression 29.04.2026 33min

  What does it mean to follow Jesus and still struggle with depression? In this episode of Jesus & Psychology, we unpack the tension between faith and mental health—challenging the idea that being a Christian should automatically eliminate depression.We explore what depression actually is from a clinical perspective, including diagnostic criteria and biological factors like neurotransmitters, the HPA axis, genetics, and environmental stressors.We also examine the spiritual dimension—how the fall of humanity, the tension between body, soul, and spirit, and the process of sanctification all shape the human experience. Through Scripture, we see that even those who deeply loved God experienced profound despair, revealing their humanity.This episode also walks through practical pathways toward healing. Tune in as we bring clarity, compassion, and truth to a conversation the body of Christ needs to have.TW: Depression and surrounding topicsFollow @jesusandpsychology on social media and streaming platforms to stay connected with new episodes and conversations at the intersection of faith and psychology.

  The Psychology of Deliverance 13.03.2026 23min

  In this second episode of Jesus & Psychology, we explore deliverance through both a spiritual and psychological lens.This conversation unpacks the psychology of deliverance—how patterns of thinking, trauma, conditioning, and habit formation can influence the strongholds we experience in our lives. While spiritual freedom is central to the Christian faith, lasting transformation often also involves confronting underlying habits and developing new patterns of thought and behavior.This episode invites us to think more deeply about liberation—not just as a moment, but as a process that involves spiritual surrender, psychological insight, and intentional formation. Freedom in Christ is real and understanding the mind can help us walk it out.Follow @jesusandpsychology on social media and streaming platforms to stay connected with new episodes and conversations at the intersection of faith and psychology.

  The Origin | LIVE Recording 13.02.2026 57min

  Recorded live at the launch of Jesus & Psychology, this special edition episode shares the story behind how this podcast came to be.In “The Origin,” I walk through my personal journey — from sinner to justified, and now living in the ongoing process of sanctification — and how that transformation shaped both my faith and my understanding of psychology. Sanctification is a process — a daily commitment to renewal, and neuroplasticity reveals that renewal is part of the human brain’s design.We also dive into a live Q&A with the audience, addressing questions about faith, therapy, growth, obedience, and more. This episode lays the foundation for what Jesus & Psychology is all about: Christ-centered faith with psychological insight.Welcome to the beginning.Follow @jesusandpsychology on all streaming platforms and social media to stay connected!
