God Wants You Whole (Body, Soul and Spirit) with Dr. Tanya Paynter

Happy Wednesday!

Today we are joined by special guest Dr. Tanya Paynter, along with our host and co-host, Ana and Janell.

As a naturopathic physician, Dr. Tanya has the unique opportunity to integrate her faith into her practice every day. Through her work, she has seen firsthand how God's design for our minds, bodies, and spirits aligns with both Scripture and science.

In this conversation, we dive into some powerful and often difficult topics. We discuss the shame and disappointment people can experience when healing doesn't come the way they hoped. We talk about how our thoughts, stress, and emotional wounds can impact our physical health, and why bringing our honest emotions to God is often far more healing than suppressing them.

We also explore faith crises, emotional health, and the importance of creating space for grief, doubt, and difficult questions in our relationship with God. Dr. Tanya shares practical wisdom and biblical insight on how God meets us in our pain and invites us into deeper healing.

Whether you're navigating chronic illness, wrestling with unanswered prayers, or simply wanting to better understand the connection between faith and health, this conversation is full of encouragement and hope.
