About This Episode

In the premiere episode of The Bible and You, Pastor Keith W. Byrd Sr. sits down with Dr. William B. Lawson for a timely conversation on faith, mental health, and healing.

Together, they explore how God cares for the whole person — mind, body, and spirit — and why mental health care should not be seen as separate from faith. Dr. Lawson helps address the stigma that often keeps people silent, reminding us that prayer, Scripture, wise counsel, therapy, and medicine can all work together as part of God’s healing process.

Episode focus: Breaking stigma, encouraging honest conversation, and helping the church support mental and spiritual wellness with compassion and wisdom.
