    Michael is one of the best faith-and-family entertainment critics because he cares about story, excellent production values, and fidelity to

    Scriptural principles in how it all unfolds. His interviews show he’s done the research, often asking unexpected questions to get to the heart of the matter. Aaron Burns episode a must listen!

Christine D’Clario on Postpartum Depression, Trauma, and Finding Healing in the Desert
Q: What advice would you give someone currently struggling with anxiety or depression?
Turn to scripture, seek a Spirit-filled therapist, don't listen to lies that you're alone, and find a trusted person to walk with you—SoulShare Health offers a community if you don't have that person.
Christine D’Clario on Postpartum Depression, Trauma, and Finding Healing in the Desert

Therapy works best when the therapist is Spirit-led and Bible-centered, and when faith is brought into the therapeutic process, healing accelerates significantly.
Christine D’Clario on Postpartum Depression, Trauma, and Finding Healing in the Desert
Q: What has been your experience raising postpartum depression within your Christian community, and what do you hope others take away?
There was division and misunderstanding, but the message is that mental health care can exist within faith. Sharing the story was meant to serve others and provide practical steps like seeking therapy and building supportive communities.
