It is our hope that a more sophisticated awareness and in-depth knowledge of what lies at the “heart” of 21st century pop culture, will allow families and individuals to more clearly distinguish well-intended, authentic entertainment from deceptively-crafted propaganda, which attacks the minds, confuses the senses, and rips apart the fabric of society.

In 1998 I developed schizophrenia. Just two years earlier I became born agaIN into the church of God. I noticed that after I developed schizophrenia my concept of God changed, thinking that He was controlling me and and that I had no free will. So yes, in my case my mental illness affected my relationship with God significantly. Now I have to take medication and my mental health has not recovered to what it was like before I got schizophrenia, but my relationship with God has improved so that I have a realistic picture of God.

I'm a survivor of SRA. Christ delivered me out of a bloodline Masonic and Order of Pythius family, then I married into Jack Parson's family. Christ delivered me out from right next door to Hell. I'm still healing in the only way I've found that works. By rewashing and rewiring my mind with the water of God's Word.

Oh wow! This was great!! This was a best break down of attactmemt styles❤ Ive learne alot thank you God bless!!

[mindi]

Thank you so much for this podcast. I come from an abusive home and have struggled so much with this. The perspective helps with my journey. Another book I recommend is A Shepherd Explains Psalm 23. For those of us who can't comprehend a loving father, this understanding of The Good Shepherd is immensely helpful.

Thank you for speaking about mental health. This has been my lifelong struggle and how the Lord will use me to give testimony to his goodness.

I suffer from Narcolepsy with severe Cataplexy; I wasn’t born with this, it appeared in my 30s. I take medication daily to function like a normal person. Without the meds I suffer both mentally and physically, I have no control of my mind, speech, and body, I have catapletic seizures but I’m awake, I have paralysis, these lasts for hours. I am born again. I have a relationship with God. I feel shame for being ill & felt it’s my fault why I suffer. After hearing this I learned I was believing a lie from the Devil. God loves me and He is with me, and can do all things!

[Andrew-yz]

Praise God. This was a powerful blessing to me !!

[cleovintora]

Where would tou find a christian therapest?

[richellepeace]

It always comes down to the same answer that I have been rolling around in my mind for 45 years. The beginning, he knit you knowing what you would have to endure and was ok with it. He placed you in the toxic womb he placed you in knowing full well he was placing you in a pit. But Christians only care about the slope' agape' and getting everyone to the dinner and making excuses for the Mary Lou of the world. Crucified pride is admitting that you accept that you are at the bottom of his hierarchy of humans and your role and needs are transitional because your role is to elevate his important ones.
Nice presentation of a rework of the 80's talks....

[shadowmonarch]

very good subject which i can relate to thankyou for awsome podcast

[TodaysAudrey]

I am working through *exactly this* right now! Changed my whole world (and utter despair) to learn about my attachment style, and *of course* I could see how it has stunted my connection to God my whole life!

[loadingmikke]

Some months ago i was so depressed and overworked, i think something attached itself to me, i saw myself in a dream, and i had this dark smoke around my head. Also looking back into those episodes i remember a strange pressure on my head at those times also. Also, my unaliving thoughts where not in my usual monolouge i have inside my head. It was more "you shall, you ought to, " instead of the "i want to".
Luckily i got delivered from that though, but i am still on antidepressants.

[nicole]

Can you please disclose the counselors info being interviewed, like her website/ministry/contact??? Thank you.

[churchurno]

What are the names of those books mentioned please

[abedetesfa]

Jesus is the wonderful Counselor...may we learn to let Him heal us mind, body and soul 🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾

[LeonsNiccum-lzee]

What if you have such a large family that you develop several of those styles?

[HARDTALKRADIOLIVEINK]

The same God who made your abuser is the same God who made you that's in the bible. God made Moses and God made Pharoah.

[julievenseth]

i want to point out that these attachments styles are kind of bullshit. A Childs first years might have one specific attachment style, but their relationship to caregivers can change depending on the caregiver repairing the relational attachment.

i grew up with a secure attachment style, but then around 10 years old my family fell apart and I ended up in fostercare, and I only ended up with the negative attachment styles until adulthood. today im a pleaser and avoidant in almost all relationships I have. Notice that I grew up with a secure attachment style, and It shifted.
