In this episode, I’m joined by Miriam Diphouse McMillan—author of Sacred Balance: How Ancient Practices Can Restore Modern Minds. Miriam is a chaplain at an inpatient psychiatric hospital, an ordained minister, a writer for the Intercession of Spirituality and Mental Health, and above all, a child of God.

We dive deep into the intersection of faith and mental health, exploring how spiritual practices—like prayer—have been scientifically shown to calm the mind through MRI research. Miriam shares insights from over 12 years of experience walking alongside people in crisis, leading spiritual groups, writing hospital sermons, and offering individual counseling.

This conversation is full of wisdom, compassion, and encouragement for anyone seeking balance, healing, and a deeper love for both self and neighbor.
