When was the last time you reevaluated the balance between your faith and mental well-being? Join us as we sit down with Dr. Savana Williams, a remarkable psychologist who turned her personal trials into triumphs, with a story starting from an emotionally abusive relationship and leading to a fulfilling career. Dr. Williams shares her transformative journey and how profound experiences, like a dream interpretation during college, redefined her understanding of the powerful synergy between faith and therapy.

Alongside pastor and speaker Jonathan Leonardo, we unpack the complex relationship between spiritual beliefs and therapeutic practices, challenging the idea that they are mutually exclusive. Together, we explore pivotal moments in Dr. Williams' life, such as insights from a Jamaican Adventist professor, which shaped her belief that Christianity and psychology can intertwine harmoniously. As we journey through stories of personal and spiritual growth, discover how embracing a mindset of abundance rather than scarcity can reshape your perspective on life's challenges.

Our conversation uncovers the empowering concept of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) from a faith-based perspective, advocating for actions aligned with personal values and the gospel. We discuss practical strategies for cultivating gratitude and mindfulness, helping listeners harness their inherent strength and divine potential. This episode is your invitation to recognize the profound impact of aligning faith with therapy, offering heartfelt reflections and practical insights for anyone seeking to enhance their spiritual and emotional well-being.
