Can prayer alone carry you through panic, pressure, and pain?

In this episode, Dr. Ayo and Jason Gathing dive deep into the intersection of faith and mental health, exploring why therapy might be the key so many believers are missing. With raw honesty, humor, and heart, they break down how trauma lives in the body, why spiritual growth requires nervous system regulation, and what true alignment between mind, body, and spirit really looks like.

Takeaways include:

• Fear doesn’t mean you’ve lost faith—it might mean your nervous system is out of sync
• Therapy isn’t a lack of belief, it’s a tool for deeper healing
• You can’t pray for peace while protecting the patterns keeping you stuck
  
  

This episode is a powerful reminder: You don’t have to choose between God and growth. You can choose both. Let’s get into it.
