WiseWords
By Dominique Walker
Wise Words podcast is to educate people about the importance of mental health & Christianity working together and not against one another. Through my podcast, I hope to inspire teens and young adults to not only follow Christ and prioritize their walk with God, but to also prioritize your mental health as well! Spiritual and mental health are very important. So sit back, grab a snack and absorb my words to the wise.
