When life feels overwhelming, where do you turn for help? In this episode of Bookish Talks with Lia, I’m joined by Rebekah Hannah, a biblical counselor and the founder of Anchored Virtual, to talk about what biblical counseling really is, why it matters, and how God’s Word offers anchored hope for the struggles we all face.

Rebekah shares her own story of following Jesus and how the Lord led her into biblical counseling. We talk through common misconceptions Christians may have about counseling, how to know when it’s time to seek help, and why Scripture is sufficient and essential for navigating life’s hardest seasons.
