Hosted by Tom Lyman, The Joy Hour is a Christ-centered podcast that creates space for honest conversations about faith, family, work, and finding joy in everyday life, even in the middle of pressure and responsibility.
In Episode 26, Tom sits down in the studio with his wife, Dr. Lana Lyman, for Part 1 of a special three-part series. Dr. Lana is a licensed clinical pastoral counselor with more than two decades of ministry experience, and her work focuses on helping individuals, couples, and families navigate betrayal trauma, addiction, relationships, and healing.
This episode lays the foundation for her ministry and introduces one of the tools she uses with nearly every client: temperament therapy. Together, Tom and Lana discuss:
What temperament is, and why it matters
How God designs humanity with intention, not as “blank slates”
Why temperament is morally neutral, and how strengths can also become weaknesses
The difference between temperament, character, and personality
How living misaligned with who God made you to be often produces stress, conflict, and internal frustration
If you have ever felt like you are wearing a mask, struggling to understand yourself, or trying to become someone you were never designed to be, this conversation will bring clarity and encouragement.
This is Part 1 of 3 with Dr. Lana Lyman.
Real stories. Raw faith. Redeeming joy.
