Are You Battling Existential OCD?
Is it possible that your existential deep dives are revealing the presence and influence of OCD? Are you obsessive about chasing doubts about your existence or God’s existence? Over my 30 years of ministry experience, I have observed many who get lost in certain questions related to life, death, existence, God, eternity and more that get them trapped into loops that do not lead them into greater fruitfulness. These “deep dives” end up trapping them, increasing anxiety, dread and disconnection from the world around them.
When OCD gets existential, you have intrusive and repetitive thoughts about the meaning, purpose, or reality of life, or the existence of the universe or even your own existence. Many of the questions can be targeted at God, His existence and questions regarding why He did certain things and why it seems He did not do other things.
These can appear as super deep questions, that if you chase them and figure them out, you will find peace and become a deeper person. But it actually does not produce that. I have personally observed many who have found themselves in intense torment, stemming off of where these thoughts take them.
I want to share with you about what is really going on with these existential spirals and how we can heal and overcome.

Common Pitfalls of Relationship OCD
If you're constantly questioning your love for your boyfriend or girlfriend, wondering if they're the right person for you, or feeling the urge to break up even though you don't want to, you may be struggling with relationship OCD (ROCD).
ROCD can cause significant distress and disruption in romantic relationships. I've seen it in dating couples and married couples. People with ROCD experience intrusive thoughts and obsessions about their relationship, even though they know they're irrational.
Common ROCD obsessions include:
- Doubting your love
- Doubting the other person's love for you
- Comparing your partner to others
- Nitpicking the person's traits or appearance
- Fearing that you're not compatible
- Worrying that you're not attracted
- Having intrusive thoughts about breaking up
- ROCD can also lead to compulsive behaviors, such as:
In this broadcast, I want to address some very common pitfalls that will hinder a person from working through relationship ocd with greater effectiveness.

Joy and Your Mental Health
In the midst of our mental health struggle, sometimes the last thing we think about is having joy. We crave a connection with joy. But why do so many struggle with it? Christians TALK about our need to have joy, but do you have actual examples of believers who manifest joy in their day to day life.
I am highly qualified to talk about the struggle of joy, because experiencing it in my life has not come about easily. But there is much I have learned and experienced. I think there needs to be honest discussion as to why joy can be so challenging, especially when you working through mental health challenges that regularly work to rob you of joy.
Today I want to bring some honest perspectives on the subject of joy, in a way that I believe can encourage and empower your journey.

Working Through Thought Action Fusion
Do you connect that thoughts that arrive into your thinking are the same as acting on it. Thought-action fusion (TAF) is a fancy psychological term that simply describes a cognitive distortion that occurs when people believe that their thoughts are equivalent to their actions. This means that they believe that simply thinking about something bad or harmful makes it the same as doing it.
For many OCD strugglers, thoughts arriving into your mind and acting on thoughts are the same, meaning that having a thought show up is the same as doing the thought. For those who battle OCD, they can believe that certain thoughts imply the immorality of their character or increase the likelihood of catastrophic events.
For Christians, it can create a distorted perspective on verses that speak on “as a man thinks” or “if you look at a woman with lust you have already committed adultery.”
TAF is a common symptom of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), but it can also occur in other anxiety disorders and in people who have experienced trauma. It can lead to a great deal of anxiety and distress, and it can make it difficult to live a normal life.
In this broadcast, I wan to address this problem and bring out ten observations to help you discern the distortions that empower thought-action fusion.

Our mental health battles reveal where we feel disconnected to peace, where it seems out of reach. In this broadcast, I want to share with you how to walk in the peace of God that can carry us through the storms of life and empower your mental, emotional and relationship health.

Healing Our Distorted “God Filter”
Our mental health is deeply impacted by how we relate to God. When I sit down and talk with someone about their relationship with God, it doesn't take very long to observe the lens by which they relate to God and how they see Him. How you see God is what I call your "God filter." There are many aspects in how we see God that are healthy, but we also have to recognize aspects of how we see Him that are based on lies, brokenness and distortions. In my own personal journey, I realized that how I related to God was broken, which was deeply hindering my mental health journey. In this broadcast, I want to bring out some distorted God filters that many believers carry and some healing steps/relearning we can embrace in our healing and freedom journey.

9 Toxic Ways Obsessives Interpret their Thoughts
Our mental health is not about what kind of thoughts arrive into our thinking, but more about how we RESPOND to our thoughts that is the issue. Working through OCD or any kind of mental health battle involves learning to heal how we interpret our thoughts and the meaning we give our thoughts. For many who struggle with obsessive and compulsive battles, it is time to fire our interpreter and walk into new patterns in how we relate to our thoughts. In today's broadcast, I want to bring out nine common filters that OCD strugglers have when it comes to their thoughts.

I Address Your Obsessive Spirals
Have you ever found yourself caught in an obsessive spiral? You might start thinking about something that's bothering you, and then you can't stop thinking about it. The more you think about it, the worse it gets, and before you know it, you're feeling overwhelmed and anxious.
This can cover all kinds of "what if" and doubts. There are millions of things that can become material for an obsessive thought.
What makes a spiral so challenging is that we become convinced the subject we are spinning about MUST be fixed and remedied, or else we believe we cannot move forward.
This reveals an important concept I have been teaching for years: the problem is NOT the problem.
It's not about the subject you are spinning about. It's HOW you relate to thoughts that needs help and healing. I talk about this in my book The OCD Healing Journey.
My inbox receives lots of questions that are obsessive, involving a narrow fixation on some kind of subject feel needs clearing up. Meanwhile, life is messy and has so many challenges, how do we navigate through disturbances and walk in greater peace?
So I decided to take a many of these "spirals" and address them on tonights Sunday Night Live.

12 Common Guilt-Based Compulsions
Toxic guilt will drive us into a compulsive lifestyle. When we act in compulsion, we are doing something to alleviate the feelings of guilt that rise up within us.

Today I want to call out some common compulsions so you can become more aware and gain freedom.

15 Reasons Why Toxic Guilt is Not of God
One of the traps that keeps us bound is the "God Label" that we put on many guilt ridden thoughts we get stuck in. We attribute God as the author of toxic guilt, which keeps us stuck in cycles that do not produce freedom. When I discovered that God was not hovering over me with condemnation, accusation, guilt and shame, it revolutionized my journey. But it took some time to put it into practice. Today I want to bring out a number of reasons why toxic guilt is not of God.

How Jesus Responded to Toxic Guilt
Observing the life of Jesus Christ, you will discover the divine compassion He lived by on a daily basis. But what you do NOT find is Jesus being driven by or manipulated by guilt, especially in how He interacted with people. We often tell believers we should "live like Jesus." But if you watch the life of Christ, He did not feed into the guilt that people would throw His way. In this broadcast, I will bring out two very powerful examples of Jesus not feeding into man's guilt trips and the power it brought out for the glory of God. May our lives be deeply changed as we let go of toxic guilt and learn to truly live from a live of compassionate grace.

Toxic Guilt and the Sin Cycle
Many believers get pulled into a toxic guilt cycle when it comes to their sins and mistakes in life. It keeps them in continual patterns of not experiencing freedom. Why do so many get locked into that pattern? In this broadcast, I want to show the difference between the toxic guilt cycle and the freedom that is available for you today. Toxic guilt welcomes condemnation, accusation and shame. Meanwhile, God's compassionate grace and mercy is available to lead you into freedom. I pray that what I share here will help bring illumination to the sin struggles you have.

The Power of God's Love to Transform Your Mental Health
Every single one of us were created and designed to live in the power of God's love for us, for it is His love that paves the way for our thoughts, emotions and relationships to experience greater health. It is my fundamental conviction that all mental health begins with learning to experience the power of Father God's love. Yet, when you dig into the hearts of so many, we find a disconnect to what it means to be loved by God and to let that love permeate their thinking. In this broadcast I want to talk about the power that God's love has to bring a transformational work to your mental health.

Healing from Gaslighting
Gaslighting is a form of manipulative abuse, in which a person causes you to doubt your memory of experiences and past events as well as your perception, which can lead to doubt of reality and questioning of your own sanity.
It is also used as a way to manipulate you into seeing a toxic and unhealthy relationship as one that is loving and filled with good intentions.
This is one of the heavy influences that a narcissist brings to a relationship that often needs to be addressed in the healing journey.
Goal of gaslighting → to preserve the narcissist’s well orchestrated and constructed image and to maintain a level of control in the relationship
If you are in a relationship with a true narcissist, you will find a pattern of gaslighting involved.
Gaslighting unleashes mental and emotional damage to those under its influence.
One of the top ways someone can experience an erosion in their mental health is to have their sense of reality become distorted.
Today I want to talk about the problem of gaslighting and how to process the healing that is needed.
