September 12, 2022 08:00 - 15 minutes - 24.2 MBIn this week's Talk Therapy episode, I want to talk to you about something I've wrestled with for much of my life - fear of man. It’s another layer of image. “What do they think of me?” Not just appearance, but the root question is, “Am I enough?” “If we look beneath the surface of the fear of man (a.k.a. people pleasing), we often find pride, false humility, and an obsession with self-image. Verses to stand on: Proverbs 29:25: Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts i...

Talk Therapy: Are You In or Out?
September 05, 2022 08:00 - 14 minutes - 22.3 MBUsually each month I start a new series, but for this episode, I felt the Lord ask me to pivot to a message focused on taking action. Are you in or out?

This in and out wreaks havoc on our mental health. The back and forth is exhausting and causes confusion within us. Reflect: Are you in or out? What area is God calling you to...

Talk Therapy: Jesus Healed and Sent a Helper
April 25, 2022 08:00 - 8 minutes - 14.8 MBI will never forget the moment in my journey to become a therapist when I was seeing my own therapist.
