What does it look like to live with an empowered state of mind as a believer—especially when life feels overwhelming? In this Sunday Live, I kick off a brand new Bible study journey through the book of Philippians, exploring what it means to think and live as an overcomer in all things.
After the Bible study, Mark addresses a question someone asked about how I prepare for Bible studies that I share and spend some time giving some background.
We then dive into listener questions covering some of the most pressing struggles believers face today:
OCD and Scrupulosity:
- The “Am I doing it right?” trap and how to stop feeding the contrarian voice
- Why deeper knowledge won’t heal your OCD—and what actually works
- Learning to sit with anxiety instead of fixing every intrusive thought
Existential OCD: When thoughts about God, eternity, and existence spiral out of control
Holy Spirit Confusion: The difference between striving and resting—and why you can’t analyze it while you’re practicing
Sexual Brokenness: → we’re still symptom-chasing instead of addressing the heart
Parenting, Family Relationships, Homosexuality and same sex marriage: What do you do when your child chooses a homosexual lifestyle that conflicts with your faith?
Mark and Melissa also share personal reflections on aging (Mark turns 49 tomorrow!), raising teenagers in a digital world, and the importance of being a fathering and mothering presence to others. Whether you’re battling intrusive thoughts, grieving over a loved one’s choices, or simply trying to renew your mind in the middle of life’s chaos, this episode will help you get rooted in the love and grace of God and the truth that sets you free.
