THE BLACKSMITH CHRONICLES

PODCAST

HOSTS: RYAN JOHNSON + MICHAEL REILLY

What does real mental health look like in the Body of Christ? In this powerful episode of The Blacksmith Chronicles, Ryan Johnson and Michael Riley sit down with Daryl Franklin, a seasoned Christian counselor and minister, to break the stigma surrounding Christian counseling, explore the difference between spiritual warfare and biological depression, and confront the misuse of terms like “mental health” and “anxiety.”

You’ll gain fresh insight on how the spirit, soul, and body all work together—and how faith and science can co-labor under God’s design. If you’ve ever wondered whether your struggle is spiritual or psychological, this conversation will give you tools, truth, and hope.

Topics covered:

• Depression: Is it spiritual or biological?
• The rise of mental health language in the church
• Anxiety: What it is—and what it’s not
• Why Christian counseling is biblical
• How to discern when to seek help

Whether you’re a pastor, leader, or someone silently battling, this episode offers biblically rooted wisdom and practical encouragement for breakthrough.
