Description
Most of us were never taught how faith and emotional health actually work together.
Grief reshapes you. Trauma lingers. Anxiety lies. And loss doesn't just hurt — it fractures your relationships, your sense of self, and sometimes your faith.
Soul Sense is for Christians who want Biblical wisdom, emotional healing, and honest conversation about the hard stuff.
Hosted by Mark Verkler, LMFT and founder of Samaritan's Well — drawing on three decades of Christian counseling to explore what it really means to heal: spirit, mind, and body.
