The Daily Cure for a Heavy Heart (Therapy and Theology)

What it is

The opening episode of Therapy and Theology pairs Lysa TerKeurst with Dr. Joel Muddamalle, Proverbs 31's Director of Theological Research, and Jim Cress, a licensed professional counselor — a combination that means the theology and the clinical reality get equal weight rather than one being smuggled in under the other. The question they take on is the hardest version: is forgiveness possible when the person who hurt you never apologized and nothing can be undone? Across 40 minutes they work through common misconceptions about forgiveness, seven truths about what it is and is not, releasing bitterness through daily confession, hope grounded in God's character, and codependency's role in boundary-setting — which is the piece betrayed partners most often need and least often hear. Free. The show carries its own content warning about trauma triggers.
