🔴 Empowering a Man's Discouraged Heart | ROCD Confusion | Self-Sabotage | Seminary and OCD

Join us for an insightful and empowering Tuesday Live, where we dive deep into the journey of mental, emotional, and relationship health from a biblically-based perspective, which we pray is rooted in the love of the Father, the grace of Jesus Christ and the truth that sets us free.

Here are some of the topics that were covered:

Why a Father's Words Can Destroying Your Mental Health (And How to Heal): I spent extended time responding to man's journey, whose father said "figure it out on your own." I address fatherlessness, broken hearts, re-parenting, and the struggle to believe God cares. This is deeply emotional and relatable to so many of us.

Relationship OCD vs. Emotional Affairs: How to Know the Difference: I contrast between two senerios - one where someone is actually having an emotional affair but calling it ROCD, versus someone compulsively confessing attraction, has ROCD, but their confession is hurting their spouse.

The Self-Sabotage Problem: Why Success Scares You More Than Failure: The discussion about fear of success, how unlovability causes self-sabotage, and why people push away good things when they don't believe they are worthy of love.

Seminary Made My Religious OCD Worse (Here's Why That's Actually Good): Addressing a seminary student's struggle with information overload, Religious OCD, Scrupulosity, doctrinal confusion, and fear of deception - while sharing that increased anxiety can be part of the growth process.
