The same power that rose Jesus from the dead is living inside of you.
Ever wondered how your perception of church affects your connection with God? In this episode of 'Strong Tower Mental Health', Heidi Mortenson, a licensed marriage and family therapist, dives into the intricate relationship between our views of church and our intimacy with God. Many of us have thought, 'I don’t need church, I just need God. My faith is private. I pray on my own. I read devotions on my own.' But is that really enough?
Heidi explores how our environment, including church, molds our spiritual journey. The pandemic has kept many away from in-person services, and this shift has had a significant impact on mental health. Heidi categorizes people into groups based on their beliefs: those who don’t believe God is good, those who don’t see God as big, those who believe in all gods, and those who are deeply religious but may not realize their own hypocrisy.
Each of these groups faces challenges like depression, anxiety, and relationship issues, regardless of their church attendance. Heidi's discussion is rich with practical advice and biblical wisdom. She emphasizes the importance of seeking God with a genuine heart, being patient through life's messes, and practicing forgiveness. She encourages listeners to understand God's nature through His Word and to set healthy boundaries in relationships.
If you're looking to deepen your relationship with God and experience His best, this episode offers valuable insights and encouragement.
