In this Sunday Live, I share a very real-life update about my recent heat exhaustion experience and recovery, while getting into the honest, raw questions that many of you are battling in your own mental, emotional, and spiritual journey. I step into questions that center around OCD, scrupulosity, doubt, and salvation anxiety. I respond to people who are saying things like, “I’m afraid calling myself a Christian is a lie. I doubt the truth of Christianity and spend hours trying to prove it true,” and, “I feel like my heart is hardened. I’m apathetic, burned out, dry and numb—does that mean God is done with me?” Others are saying, “I keep researching proof for Christianity for hours, and I’m terrified that if I can’t prove it 100% true, maybe I’m not really saved,” or, “What if I stand before Jesus and hear, ‘Depart from Me, I never knew you’?”
There are also deep questions coming from grief, like, “I lost my son, I feel numb and lost—what does that say about my faith and my salvation?” and questions from parents asking, “I grew up in a very strict, harsh Christian home. If I don’t want to spank or discipline out of anger, what does healthy correction and discipline look like for my kids?” I talk about parenting and discipline in the context of relationship and connection, not fear and punishment, and I address the weight that moms and dads feel when they don’t want to repeat the harsh patterns they grew up with but aren’t sure what to do instead.
If you wrestle with anxiety, intrusive thoughts, perfectionism, or a constant fear that you’re not really saved, if you find yourself stuck in researching and reassurance loops, if you’ve walked through grief and feel spiritually disoriented, or if you’re a parent trying to navigate discipline without shame and spiritual abuse, this conversation is for you.
