About Mental Health Matters for Christians

Mental Health Matters for Christians is a podcast that creates a safe, honest space where faith and mental health intersect. Hosted by Christine Sneeringer, the show explores real struggles that many Christians face—but often feel unable to talk about—like anxiety, depression, identity, trauma, and shame. With a warm, conversational tone, each episode invites listeners to step out of isolation and into truth, reminding them they are not alone and that their struggles do not disqualify their faith. Through powerful conversations, the podcast features guests who share their personal stories of brokenness, healing, and transformation. From testimonies of overcoming addiction and trauma to navigating complex questions around identity and purpose, each story points back to the hope and restoration found in Christ. These authentic interviews offer encouragement and practical insight for listeners who are seeking clarity, freedom, and deeper healing. The show also equips listeners with tools they can apply in everyday life—blending biblical truth with emotional awareness and practical wisdom. Rather than choosing between faith and mental health, Mental Health Matters for Christians helps bridge the gap, showing how the two can work together. Whether it’s learning how to process emotions, set healthy boundaries, or renew the mind, each episode aims to move listeners toward wholeness. Ultimately, this podcast is about transformation from the inside out. It’s for anyone who loves God but still wrestles, feels stuck, but longs for deeper peace and more freedom. Mental Health Matters for Christians reminds listeners that healing is possible, growth is intentional, and mental health truly matters—not just in the world, but in the life of every believer.

Even after coming to faith, Mike discovered that following Jesus didn't make those wounds disappear overnight. In this conversation, Mike shares his journey through porn and sex addiction, same-sex attraction, and the long process of emotional and spiritual healing. Along the way, he began to discover the Father heart of God and recognize God's fingerprints throughout his story.

   Her Husband Hid a Sex Addiction Behind Their “Perfect” Christian Marriage

   Ep 26 of Mental Health Matters for Christians PodcastFor years, Priscilla Fretwell believed she had the life she had always wanted: a loving husband, five children, a beautiful home, church involvement, and what appeared to be a strong Christian marriage. But behind that picture-perfect life, her husband Phil was hiding a decades-long struggle with pornography and sexual addiction—one that eventually crossed the boundaries of their marriage.In this deeply candid conversation, Priscilla shares the wife’s side of betrayal—the anger, grief, denial, and devastating loss of trust, but also the difficult journey toward healing. She explains why recovery eventually required more than simply fixing Phil’s behavior: they had to confront the emotional and spiritual disconnection that had existed beneath the surface of their marriage and begin dealing with their own wounds. Today, Priscilla and Phil help other couples discover that even after profound betrayal, brokenness does not have to be the end of the story.TOPICS DISCUSSED- Pornography and sex addiction in marriage- Betrayal and broken trust- The pressure of the “perfect” Christian marriage- Emotional and spiritual disconnection- Anger, grief, fear, and denial after disclosure- Personal responsibility and healing- Confession, honesty, and rebuilding intimacy- Marriage recovery after sexual betrayal🔹 Connect with Priscilla and Philhttps://www.savagemarriageministries.com/Priscilla and Phil's book: Savage Marriagehttps://a.co/d/00rBalRT🔹 Connect with Christinehttps://www.worthycreations.org/#betrayal #pornaddictionrecovery
