Abiola is a Deaconess in a faith community rooted in worship, love, and the intentional growth of every person who walks through its doors. Spirit, Soul & Science was born from her own journey navigating anxiety and depression while serving in a church and managing a demanding career because being a woman of God doesn’t exempt you from struggle, and getting help is one of the most faithful things you can do.
Dr. Abiola known warmly as Dr. Biola is a licensed psychiatrist who believes mental health care should be accessible, compassionate, and whole-person centered. A woman of deep faith and a member of Ignite Church NYC, where Spirit, Soul & Science was born, she co-hosts because the church and the therapist’s office were never meant to be in opposition and no one should have to choose between their God and their healing.
Spirit, Soul & Science exists to bridge the gap between faith and mental health — creating an honest, safe, and clinically grounded space where people of faith can acknowledge their struggles, access evidence-based insight, and find community with others on the same journey.
Through authentic conversation, we normalize getting help, break the stigma of therapy in faith communities, and connect listeners with the mental health resources they need to truly heal.
