Can Jesus and Therapy Work Together? US Air Force Leadership and the Value of a Christian Upbringing with LeAngela Richards-Pike

Elevated Talk with Marcus Gill

Marcus holds a very deep conversation with his longtime friend about her mental health diagnosis, her leadership training in the United States, Air Force, and they’re very similar upbringing in the Church of God in Christ. They take a moment to reflect on the good days that they had as children in Germany, as well as how to heal from mental trauma. It’s a wide range but very inspiring conversation. LeAngela Richards-Pike is a Christian mentor, mental health advocate, and child abuse prevention educator with a unique global perspective from her military upbringing and formative years spent in Europe. A six-year U.S. Air Force veteran, she is also a dedicated wife and mother. In 2017, LeAngela was diagnosed with a mental health disorder, which has shaped her mission to inspire others who face similar challenges. Since 2006, she has shared the gospel of Jesus Christ, officially accepting her call to ministry in 2023. More than an inspirational speaker, LeAngela describes herself as a disciple of Christ, devoted to guiding others toward faith and hope.
