🔴 Christian Athlete and OCD | Quick Fix Spiritual Promises | Spiritual Roots to Diseases | Burnout

Struggling with Christian OCD, scrupulosity, anxiety, perfectionism and false teachings? In this live stream, we look at mental health through a biblical lens—addressing legalism, spiritual abuse, distorted teachings, salvation anxiety, and church burnout—while grounding everything in God’s love, grace, and your identity in Christ. I talk about being a professional athelete while also working through social anxiety, imposter syndrome and OCD. I also lay out a plan of healing for someone who gets triggered by preachers who say, "Are you really saved?" or other kinds of preaching that can play on fear and guilt. I also spend time talking about aspects of spiritual abuse and concerning teachings: - Working through detoxing the prosperity teaching while also recovering from growing up in an alcoholic home. - How legalism, spiritual abuse, and fear-based preaching can damage your walk with God - Salvation anxiety, rapture fear, and “Am I really saved?” loops - Quick-fix, instant approaches to healing and deliverance that can be very dangerous. - I talk about the concept of spiritual roots to diseases, my journey studying it and why I cannot recommend it. I also speak briefly about the healing process I have had to embrace. I take some time to talk about burnout, emotional exhaustion, and why many believers never truly rest. I also talk through 3 areas of grief that are involved when you have an emotionally absent parent who is now diagnosed with dimentia. ❓Submit a Question: https://markdejesus.com/questions/ 📘The Myth of the Perfect One: https://bit.ly/44kZu7B 📘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.
