In the inaugural episode, Dr. Warren Lamb joins co-hosts Jinda Reinig and Kimberly Willess to dive into and explore biblical "soul care." They delve into explaining the soul's essence and its ties to mind, emotions, and will, while emphasizing the intrinsic value of every individual as God's special creation. The conversation explores healing from feelings of worthlessness, trauma, and false beliefs through the power of biblical truth and the support of a healthy community. While cautioning against an overreliance on medication, they advocate for genuine healing and transformation of the whole person.

The discussion also touches on navigating life's hardships—like anxiety and grief—and the significance of seeking support and guidance during tough times. Addressing church-related hurt is highlighted, emphasizing the importance of embodying Christ's character in counseling, and creating a nurturing environment for healing. The episode culminates with a reminder that the goal of everyone involved with The Soul Care Podcast and the Truth in Love ministry team is to speak the truth in love and surrender the outcomes to God in their mission of soul care.
