We don’t realize how un-free we are when we continue to do things instead of allowing ourselves to be. The suggestions and prayers in this episode will bring freedom.
Feeling weighed down by the constant pressure to be perfect? You might be dealing with what's known as the 'religious spirit'. In this eye-opening episode of 'Strong Tower Mental Health', host Heidi Mortenson, a licensed marriage and family therapist, breaks down how this mindset can wreak havoc on your mental well-being. The religious spirit isn't just about attending church regularly or praying often; it's a harmful belief that you must earn your way to salvation.
This can lead to feelings of unworthiness, anxiety, and endless striving for perfection. Heidi explains how this mentality can trap you in a cycle of doing rather than being, causing significant emotional and mental stress. But don’t worry—Heidi offers practical tips to break free from these chains. She suggests small but impactful changes, like trying a different church or simply being more honest with God about your struggles.
The episode wraps up with a heartfelt prayer aimed at bringing freedom and peace to your soul. If you're tired of feeling trapped by religious expectations and want to find genuine freedom in your faith, this episode is a must-listen.
