Identity and Mental Health

My journey of mental health healing and freedom revealed I had no idea who I was. My battles were inflamed by the identity crisis going on within me. As I began to walk a healing journey, I noticed that my thoughts and emotions were lost in a sea of confusion. I had no connection to identity, so I got easily lost in the thoughts that warred over my mind. Can you relate? Look around and you will observe a manifestation of an identity crisis all around. The battles we face have a connection to an attack on identity. How we relate to the world around us flows through how we see ourselves. And how we are relating to each other seems to be drowning with confusion. Today I want to talk about identity, what it means to connect to who God says you are, letting go of who you are NOT and how identity strengthening can have a dynamic influence on your mental health. 0:00 Intro 1:50 The Church Lady is BACK!!! 15:00 Dance Break 17:50 H&F Community/Reach of our Show 20:45 Question - Burnt Out Homeschool Momma 48:30 Dance Break 50:15 SuperChat - Sheep & Goats - Matthew 25; 31 56:20 Identity and Mental Health 57:50 A Strong Connection To Identity Empowers Our Mental Health 1:04:40 Our Most Powerful Identity is Being a Son/Daughter of God 1:09:05 My Health Battles Reveal We Have No Idea Who We Are 1:15:02 The Father Bestows Identity To His Children 1:19:50 Identity Gets Tested 1:20:30 The Brokenness/Sin In The Land Reveals The Need for a Fathers Presence 1:23:35 We Become Deceived When We See Our Thought/Emotions as "This is Just who I am" 1:25:30 Be Aware of What you Connect Your Identity To 1:29:25 If We Become Sin Obsessed - We Become Obsessed With "Who We Are Not" 1:30:20 God Will See You As Who You Really Are 1:33:20 Who We Are Is Meant To Be Enhanced By Being Around Each Other 1:40:55 Knowing Who You Are Takes Practice 1:41:45 Dance Break 1:44:30 Wrap Up Chat / Questions Get The OCD Healing Journey Book Today: https://markdejesus.com/the-ocd-healing-journey-book/ Get a FREE eBook on the Father’s Love: https://bit.ly/3fGu6t3 Mark's resource library: https://markdejesus.com/topics/ Support future videos: https://markdejesus.com/donate/ Join the Healing and Freedom Community: https://markdejesus.com/community Mark's books: https://markdejesus.com/books-by-mark-dejesus/ Disclaimer: The content published is for informational purposes.
