Has therapy quietly become the default answer to every kind of pain?

In this opening episode of the Confessions of a Therapist series, Jonathan Kindler steps inside the tension many people feel but rarely say out loud. Blending scripture, personal story, and lived clinical insight, Jonathan explores the difference between help and healing, why distress is not always dysfunction, and how modern culture may be asking therapy to carry weight it was never meant to hold.

Through biblical reflection and honest conversation, this episode examines how growth actually happens. Not just through insight, but through obedience. Not just through conversation, but through community. Jonathan also carefully addresses why many people lost trust in the church, while pointing toward God’s original design for soul care, formation, and restoration through the body of Christ.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you need therapy, deeper relationships, spiritual formation, or some combination of all three, this episode invites you to slow down and ask a better question. What kind of care does this season of your life actually require?

What do you do when someone genuinely cares, keeps trying, and still can’t seem to follow through?

In this Walking With episode, Jonathan Kindler speaks directly to pastors, counselors, disciplers, and everyday believers who are sitting across from sincere people stuck in the gap between desire and action. Rather than defaulting to pressure or correction, this episode explores how follow-through often collapses not because of laziness, but because of fear, shame, misplaced trust, and the quiet weight of spiritual performance.

Through Scripture, story, and a composite case vignette, Jonathan shows how to read what’s actually happening beneath repeated start-and-stop cycles. You’ll learn how to name patterns without shaming, surface the beliefs holding the cycle together, and help someone take clear, faithful next steps rooted in dependence rather than self-effort.

If you’ve ever walked with someone who says, “I really want to change, I just keep falling apart,” this episode offers language, posture, and practical tools to help you walk with them wisely—without fixing, without hovering, and without turning growth into another burden.

Why do New Year’s resolutions start strong and fall apart so quickly? And why does trying harder often leave us feeling more discouraged instead of changed?

In this reflective, Scripture-anchored episode, Jonathan Kindler explores why most resolutions fail not because of laziness or lack of desire, but because we plan from hope instead of reality. Blending biblical rhythm, lived experience, and pastoral insight, this conversation reframes growth away from pressure and toward formation. From Sabbath as design, to conditioning without shame, this episode invites listeners to slow down, tell the truth about their limits, and rediscover obedience that actually lasts.

If you’ve ever felt behind before the year even got started, this episode offers a gentler and wiser path forward. Not by doing more, but by walking faithfully within the life God actually gave you.
