Episode #3 Show Notes Host: Jinda Reinig, Kimberly Willess, Warren Lamb Guest: Dr. Jenn Chen   Summary In this episode of The Soul Care Podcast, Dr. Jenn Chen returns for a follow-up interview and shares more of her journey from a clinical psychologist to a biblical counselor. Today, the discussion emphasizes the complexities of neuroscience and the limitations of scientific research in understanding mental health. She highlights the importance of questioning mainstream psychological claims, the role of trauma, and the need for a biblical approach to counseling. The discussion also touches on the intersection of faith and science, the significance of soul-care, and the challenges of navigating mental health diagnoses in a biblical context.   Takeaways Dr. Jenn Chen emphasizes the evolving nature of science and the need to question its claims. Mainstream psychology often overlooks the complexities of individual experiences. Neuroscience provides insights but does not dictate counseling methods. Labels in mental health can become identities, affecting self-perception. Pain and suffering are integral parts of the human experience, not to be avoided. Biblical counseling focuses on the heart, mind, and soul rather than just symptoms. Trauma is often misunderstood and requires a compassionate approach. The church must be equipped to provide effective soul-care. Understanding the limitations of scientific research is crucial for Christians. Faith and science can coexist, but caution is needed in their integration.   Relevant Links Books Mentioned Biblical Counseling and Mental Disorder Diagnosis (Dr. Jenn Chen) Science Fictions: How Fraud, Bias, Negligence, and Hype Undermine the Search for Truth (Stewart Ritchie) The Body Doesn’t Keep the Score: How Popular Beliefs About Trauma Are Wrong (Michael Scheeringa) Brainwashed: The Seductive Appeal of Mindless Neuroscience (Sally Satel and Scott O.

Episode #2 Show Notes Host: Jinda Reinig, Kimberly Willess Guest: Molly Bertles   Summary In this episode of The Soul Care Podcast, hosts Jinda and Kimmy engage in a candid conversation with Molly Bertles about the often-avoided topic of female masturbation within the Christian community. Molly shares her personal journey of struggle, shame, and eventual healing through biblical counseling. The discussion emphasizes the need for open conversations in the church about women's sexuality, the impact of cultural narratives, and the importance of understanding God's design for sex. Listeners are encouraged to seek community, accountability, and spiritual disciplines as they navigate their own journeys toward purity and intimacy.   Takeaways Molly struggled with masturbation from a young age, feeling shame and secrecy. The church often avoids discussing female sexuality, leading to isolation for women. Cultural narratives around sexuality can conflict with biblical teachings. Understanding God's design for sex is crucial for women struggling with guilt. Shame can significantly impact intimacy in marriage. Masturbation can become a form of self-worship and idolatry. Community and accountability are essential for overcoming struggles with sexuality. Open conversations about sexuality can help break the stigma in the church. Spiritual disciplines can aid in pursuing purity and understanding God's design. Molly hopes her book will provide clarity and support for women facing similar struggles.   Relevant Links Book Highlighted You Are Not Alone (Molly Bertles) Other Links Truth in Love Biblical Counseling Pastor Warren’s Blog   Warrenism of the Week: “What you focus on is what you hit.
