In this live broadcast, I stand at the intersection of mental health and biblical insight, sharing from my journey “in the trenches” of my own journey and through experience of helping those who are struggling. From a pastoral lens, I share the common root areas that are often underlying those who struggle with OCD and also those who battle ADHD, and how these patterns show up in our day-to-day emotional and spiritual life. I also talk about the battles many face with health anxiety and health OCD, where real symptoms get tangled up with fearful “what if” thinking, and I lay out how I’ve learned to navigate this in a way that aligns with both mental health wisdom and a walk of faith. I then lean into the painful and often confusing topic of narcissism, how it shows up in marriages, families, and even professional environments like the workplace and what it can do to your sense of sanity, identity, and relationship with God. I address long-standing fears about the rapture that many believers carry from childhood teaching and end-times media and I explore how those fears shape a person’s walk with God and view of salvation. Finally, I talk through the world of troubling dreams and nightmares, especially when they involve unsafe people from your past, and I share how I’ve come to understand these experiences from both a trauma-informed and biblical perspective. Throughout the broadcast, I invite you into a healing and freedom journey that is grounded in the love of the Father and the grace of Jesus Christ. Through compassionate grace, we can learn to relate to our thoughts, emotions, history and spiritual life in more fruitful ways. ❓Submit a Question: https://markdejesus.com/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/ Music Provided by Epidemic Sound: https://share.epidemicsound.com/73m02k and Audiio: https://ref.audiio.com/3c99d6zk Mark's Podcast and Video Equipment: https://markdejesus.com/equipment/ Disclaimer: The content published is for informational purposes.
