Episode 267: The Body Remembers, But Grace Restores
With Jeff and Terra Mattson and Special Guest Erin Kerry
In this episode, we sit down with Erin Kerry, a mental health advocate, integrative nutrition coach, and mom who knows firsthand what it means to live with anxiety while holding onto faith. Together, we explore the intersection of mental and physical health, the power of grace when we feel broken, and how to shift from shame to self-compassion. Erin shares her journey of learning to partner with God in healing—body, mind, and spirit—and offers practical wisdom for anyone wrestling with the weight of anxiety, identity, or performance.
Key Takeaways
Faith and mental health can coexist—struggling with anxiety doesn’t mean you lack faith.
The body keeps the score—our physical health often reflects our inner world, and healing requires an integrated approach.
Naming your anxiety is the first step toward disarming its power.
Grace is not passivity—it’s active participation with God in the process of renewal.
Identity precedes performance—you are loved and whole before you do anything to prove it.
Community and honest conversation break the stigma around faith and mental health.
Parenting through anxiety requires compassion—for our kids and for ourselves.
