Lent invites us to examine what still has power over us. Not just the offense itself, but the wound beneath it. The rejection. The disrespect. The message about who we are that took root in the moment we were hurt.

If we do not confront our wounds, we default to self-protection.

We minimize.
We distract.
We “forgive” quickly.

Or we blame.
We justify ourselves.
We hold grudges.

Both strategies manage pain. Neither brings freedom.

The hard work of forgiveness begins with reflection.
What did you feel?
What message did you believe about yourself?
Where else has that same message shown up in your story?

Then we connect with God. Because forgiveness is not merely psychological. It is spiritual. Christ meets us in our hurt, speaks to our shame, and reminds us who we are in Him.

When His grace is received, something shifts internally. Defenses loosen. Shame weakens. The urgency to avoid or retaliate subsides. We are no longer reacting from the wound.

Forgiveness does not excuse wrongdoing. It transforms the heart of the one who was wounded.

This Lent, where is God inviting you to do the deeper work?

New year’s resolutions often focus on fitness or career goals, but what about your sleep?

God invites us to find rest in Him, “Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28), and in another place David says, “I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the Lord sustains me.” (Psalm 3:5)

Sleep deprivation impacts our mental and emotional health.

Have you ever felt more irritable when tired, or more easily stressed?

Getting at least 7 hours of sleep each night is a great way to also take care of your overall health.

Rest is not passive. It is restorative.

When we consistently lack sleep, our bodies and minds feel the strain. Anxiety can heighten. Patience can thin. Even our spiritual lives can feel harder to engage.

This , consider your nighttime rhythm as part of your discipleship and your mental health care. Small, intentional shifts like winding down before bed, keeping a consistent schedule, and bringing your burdens to God in prayer can create space for deeper rest. If chronic sleep difficulties are affecting your mood, relationships, or daily functioning, you do not have to navigate that alone.

Thoughtful support can make a difference.

Strength is not one-dimensional. ✨

This , we’re honoring the multifaceted resilience of women—biological, emotional, and spiritual.

Studies show women often have larger hippocampi, leading to more vivid, emotion-coded memories. Even smaller tear ducts play a role in how women physically process and release internal weight.

Women navigate distinct stressors—from the expectations of motherhood and daughterhood to physical safety.

What does strength look like?

It’s the vulnerability of Hannah, the leadership of Deborah, and the faithfulness of Anna. True strength isn't defined by a life stage, but by a heart centered in Christ.

How to honor women today:

Acknowledge the weight: Recognize the unique challenges women carry.

Value the heart: See compassion and emotional attunement as strengths.

Remove the barriers: Cost is a major hurdle—13% of women have had to skip therapy because they couldn't afford it.

The Action Step: Help us bridge the gap. Your gift to Redeemer Counseling ensures that cost is no longer a barrier to healing.

Today is Self-Harm Awareness Day. Self-harm doesn’t always look like what you think. It’s not just cutting or burning. It can show up as reckless behavior, hitting yourself, or picking at your skin. These actions are often signals of deeper pain.

If you or someone you love struggles, ask yourself these questions. Is this out of self-hate? Is it a way to cope with emotional pain? Is it a cry for help? Recognizing the signs is the first step toward getting support.

You don’t have to face it alone.

We live in an age of information overload. On a daily basis, we are flooded with images, sounds, and news about the world and people around us. It’s hard to ignore the noise, and equally as hard to not be impacted by it.

How can we guard our hearts and minds in the things that we see?

How can we intentionally steward our time and emotions in the content we consume or are
exposed to?

Here are some steps we believe you can take to stay relevant without feeling unsafe while doing so.

This year, we’re honoring Black voices shaping faith and mental health — from thought leaders to clinicians.

Grace Honorat walks alongside clients carrying heavy burdens, creating safe, trauma-informed spaces where emotional health and spiritual growth are addressed together. She reminds us: people are beloved, and freedom and clarity are possible.

02/25/2026

This year marks 100 years since the first national observances of Black history.

At Redeemer Counseling, we’re honoring that legacy by spotlighting Black thought leaders and clinicians shaping the conversation at the intersection of faith and mental health.

Today we’re featuring Sharon Richards Alcendor, LCSW.

Sharon’s work is rooted in clinical excellence and theological care. She believes lasting change requires more than insight — it requires experience, integration, and the courage to engage what has been avoided. Through relational, process-oriented therapy, she helps clients move beyond coping toward embodied healing.

In a time marked by fragmentation, her work reminds us that emotional health and spiritual formation are not separate pursuits — they are deeply connected.

Today is the first day of National Eating Disorder Awareness Week.

The path toward healing isn't a straight line, and you don’t have to walk it alone.

Statistics tell us 28.8 million Americans will face an eating disorder in their lifetime. But behind the numbers are embodied souls, people navigating a world that feels increasingly complex. Often, the struggle with food or body is a way of navigating a deeper search for worth, or a shield against a shame that feels too heavy to carry.

We believe that healing happens in the "with." Just as a journey isn't made in a single leap, we are here to walk through the nuances of your story alongside you. It’s a process of looking up, not just looking in, discovering a new way to see yourself, God, and others.

Whether you feel like you are just starting or have been on this road for years, there is space for you here. We are here to help you move toward deeper healing, combining the best of clinical wisdom with a hope that holds fast.

You are seen. You are valued. Every BODY belongs.

This year marks 100 years since the first national observances of Black history.

At Redeemer Counseling, we’re honoring that legacy by spotlighting Black thought leaders shaping the conversation at the intersection of faith and mental health.

We’re highlighting Black thought leaders — from authors to clinicians — who are shaping faith and mental health in real time.

Today, we’re featuring Michael, a Redeemer counselor, whose work embodies what this looks like in practice. In counseling rooms every day, he helps clients navigate identity, belief, trauma, and healing with care and clarity.

His perspective reminds us that faith and mental health are not competing forces. They can inform one another. They can strengthen one another. And when held with intention, they can support a whole and integrated life.

This year marks 100 years since the first national observances of Black history.

At Redeemer Counseling, we’re honoring that legacy by spotlighting Black thought leaders shaping the conversation at the intersection of faith and mental health.

These leaders show us that healing and belief can grow together, that faith can guide recovery, and attention to mental well-being supports a whole life.

Today, we’re highlighting Sheila Wise Rowe — truth-teller, advocate for dignity, and faith-rooted counselor. With over 35 years of experience as a Christian counselor, educator, writer, and speaker, Sheila has worked across the globe, helping communities reclaim language, culture, and resilience while staying anchored in God.

Her work reminds us that real healing grows in community, that faith can carry sorrow and courage, and that hope is strongest when it holds both truth and dignity.

Follow along as we continue to celebrate voices transforming mental health through faith.

Whether it’s the quiet ache of unfulfilled longing or the complex strain of a relationship that feels disconnected, today often highlights the spaces in our hearts that feel “empty.”

If you are single, those longings are pointers—reminding you that you are seen and known by a God whose love is an ocean, not a drop. If you are in a relationship, today is an invitation to be a source of grace and intentionality for your partner, even in the midst of conflict.

In every season, you don’t have to navigate the path alone.

At Redeemer Counseling, we are here to walk alongside you, connecting your current reality with the hope of the Gospel. Whether you are looking to process a season of singleness or seeking to strengthen your marriage, our counselors are ready to partner with you.
