  • Finally!!

    Finally a person I can relate to as a Christian that is real. I didn’t know how insidious OCD was present in my life until I spiraled out of control. I started reading Mark’s books “I will not Fear” and currently reading The OCD healing journey. Mark has hit the nail on the head. I can relate with every single chapter so much that I smile that someone has put into words what I have felt for so long. I enjoy hearing your podcast and laugh at my “goofiness”. By the way that “church lady” cracks m... more

  • Real, Practical, Balanced, Kind

    I’ve had symptoms of OCD periodically off and on throughout my life, with periods where it has been particularly debilitating. Recently hearing Mark’s story and another pastor recovering of OCD felt like people having a window into my brain and helped me realize that this was an area I really needed to focus on for my spiritual growth. I’ve started reading through the OCD Healing Journey by Mark and really appreciating it. I’m really thankful for his balanced approach and seeing he and Melissa p... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

🔴 Depart from Me Fears | Parenting Without Provoking | Heat Exhaustion
Q: What should someone do if they fear that they are not saved due to OCD or scrupulosity-related thoughts?
The host explains that salvation is not determined by feelings or obsessive questions; one should reduce engagement with compulsions, seek appropriate OCD-focused guidance, and consider grief and emotional processing to address underlying pain without condemning themselves.
🔴 Unbelief and Feeling Crazy | Walking in the Spirit | Workplace Burnout | Intrusive Thoughts at 3AM
Q: What should someone do about intrusive thoughts at 2-3 a.m.?
Rather than engaging in spiritual warfare or rebuking the thoughts in a way that fuels fear, adopt a nurturing response: acknowledge the thoughts, remind yourself of God's love, and rely on daytime routines and sleep hygiene to reduce reactivity, while practicing compassionate self-talk.
🔴 Unbelief and Feeling Crazy | Walking in the Spirit | Workplace Burnout | Intrusive Thoughts at 3AM
Q: What does being in the Spirit mean, and is it about big emotional experiences or trusting God's truth?
Being in the Spirit is less about chasing feelings and more about a deep knowing and trust that God's word is true, resulting in a life that reflects love, joy, and peace rather than relying on emotional highs.
🔴 Healthy Church Life | Dealing with Embarrassment | Terrified About Eternity
Q: What are your thoughts on meekness and its role in inheritance and trust?
Meekness combines strength with self-control; it allows us to manage our emotions, channel power through love, and be trustworthy with what we've been given, which is why those who are meek are described as inheritors of the earth.
🔴 OCD Makes You Feel Like a REPROBATE | Demon Confusion | New Career Path | ROCD
Q: What should a newly married person with ROCD think about the fears of routine and loss of interest?
Acknowledge ROCD patterns as intrusive thoughts, practice exposure and communication with the partner, and focus on ongoing love and service rather than chasing perfect certainty.
