Episode notes
I hope you had a blessed week! Here is an insight to consider - What if your overwhelm isn’t a sign you’re doing something wrong - but a sign you’ve been carrying too much without the support you need? This week, I talk with Megan Bonynge, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and together, we explore the quiet reality of “survival mode” and how learning to discern between what truly matters and what can be released can change everything. Through the lens of faith-integrated mental health, we look at what it means to move from intellectual understanding of God to real, lived intimacy, and how that shift opens the door to support, clarity, and sustainable strength. In this conversation, we discuss how: ️ Not everything is equal - know your “glass” vs “plastic.” ️ Asking for help is a part of healing. ️ Knowing God vs. living with God - vulnerability bridges the gap. ️ Slow, simple rhythms move you out of survival mode. The Bible verse that Megan shares will give you strength to persevere: "For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have?
