Can Jesus and Therapy Work Together? US Air Force Leadership and the Value of a Christian Upbringing with LeAngela Richards-Pike

Marcus holds a very deep conversation with his longtime friend about her mental health diagnosis, her leadership training in the United States, Air Force, and they’re very similar upbringing in the Church of God in Christ. They take a moment to reflect on the good days that they had as children in Germany, as well as how to heal from mental trauma. It’s a wide range but very inspiring conversation.
