🔴 4 Signs of Discerning Love | I Don't Feel God’s Love | Submission | ADHD Husband | Sexual History

This is a jam-packed Sunday live with Bible study, questions that you have sent in and some laughs along the way! I start off with sharing that I have not been feeling well. The Church Lady rebuked me for "claiming" sickness and we had a interesting conversations about it. I then dive into Philippians 1:9–11 and explore what it actually looks like for love to have discernment, while also weaving in real-life application. I walk through four signs of discerning love in Philippians 1:9–11—approving what is excellent, living with sincerity, being without offense, and being filled with the fruits of righteousness—but I frame them more as questions: How do I know what’s truly excellent in a world full of distractions? In addressing your questions, we I wrestle with some raw topics, from a woman who is struggling to feel close to God or loved by God, and has never had that big "encounter." Because of this, it inflames her scrupulosity struggle and battle with intrusive thoughts. I talk about the rejection mindset, religious OCD (scrupulosity), and how unhealthy expectations about dramatic encounters, voices, and signs can feed anxiety, legalism, and despair. Melissa and I talk about marriage, wives submitting to their husbands, and husbands leading their homes in a way that earns trust and creates safety, especially when both spouses carry complex trauma, abuse, or neglect from their family of origin. We get into ADHD, emotional neglect, late-night scrolling, time blindness, and why so many of us don’t know how to wind down or nurture ourselves. I also respond to a heavy but common issue: coping with a spouse’s sexual past when you were a virgin and raised in a strict, legalistic, purity-culture setting—how that intersects with father wounds, shame, false teaching about men and lust, and what it really means to see each other as new creations in Christ. ❓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.
