The Shepherd Who Finds You in Every Valley

What does it really mean when Scripture says, "The Lord is my Shepherd"? In this episode, Mikallah explores one of the most powerful and comforting images in the Bible—the Shepherd. Far beyond a religious symbol, the Shepherd reveals God's heart toward us in seasons of anxiety, confusion, emotional exhaustion, spiritual distance, and suffering. Through Psalm 23, John 10, Matthew 9, and Luke 15, you'll discover how God cares not only for your spirit, but also for your mind, emotions, body, and story. Together, we'll explore how the Good Shepherd guides, protects, restores, pursues, and carries us when we feel lost. Whether you're struggling with disappointment, feeling distant from God, wrestling with shame, or simply needing reassurance of His presence, this conversation is a reminder that you are not abandoned, forgotten, or beyond His reach. The Shepherd is still leading. The Shepherd is still speaking. And the Shepherd is still pursuing you. In what area of your life do you need to trust the Shepherd more deeply?

Depression: Sinful, Demonic, or Human Nature?

Is depression sinful? Demonic? A lack of faith? Or are we misunderstanding the conversation altogether? In this episode of The Sozo Room, Mikallah explores one of the most debated conversations within Christian spaces: the relationship between sin, spiritual warfare, and mental health. Through Scripture, psychology, and a holistic understanding of human beings as spirit, soul, and body, this episode unpacks how the fall affected every part of creation—and why healing may require more than one approach. This conversation does not diminish prayer, deliverance, or the power of God. Instead, it creates room for wisdom, discernment, and a fuller understanding of human suffering. If you've ever wondered whether depression automatically means spiritual failure, this episode is for you.
