Detoxing Your Mind: An Interview With Dr. Caroline Leaf

[@purplecow_1]

"The minute you are aware of something, it is weakened, if it is weakened it is changeable" - Dr Caroline Leaf. Thank you Jesus!

[@Bellfootball32]

Emmanuel Segun-Lean i don't think it's "weakened" it's just become vulnerable to our mindfulness and we can build it in a way that it needs to be reconstructed. So weakened isn't the best word for that but it makes some sense

[@producerkevin8975]

I picked that too.

[@AonePule]

Wow😌😊😊😊😊

[@TheMaryam1891]

Discussed at local church. I believe when you confess to God He already knows but saying it or admitting failures is listening to our own counsel and how to begin to break a habit.

[@ThePrimeChannel780]

not to be a sad guy but religion is God. Religion is the reconnection of humans and God. Religion is important. Relationship with Jesus is our religion basically

[@matthewpalm2483]

Definitions are important. There are quite a few in this discussion which are important to wrestle with which will help to guide our discussions. Oxford Definition for Religion: 1)The belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods. 2)A particular system of faith and worship. 3)A pursuit or interest to which someone ascribes supreme importance. Religion isn't bad. There are people who unfortunately use it in ways not with God or glorifying God.

With anxiety depression and panic attacks. I know exactly what she’s talking about. I have to retrain my mind. Thank you pastor for doing this amazing series. My therapist told me to find a safe spot in my mind. I tried one on my own. But that wasn’t it. But I heard your sermon about Jesus calming the storm. Just by getting in the boat with the disciples. So now my safe place is in the boat with Jesus. I always said. I got out of the boat when I did something on my own which didn’t cause panic attacks. But now I’m in the boat with Jesus who is calming my fears. Thank you.

Kelly Rowland I have to visually imagine my safe place. I sit down quiet 🤫 my mind. If I have a hard time. I picture Jesus Stan one time to me. Then I see myself in a boat. Jesus standing I. The boat while I sit. We are on the shore. Ocean 🌊 barely touching the boat. Like when you stand at the edge of the ocean and the water barely hits your toes. I just see that over and over again. In therapy I learned tapping. KZbin it. EFT tapping. I do things that use both my brains. So I color draw or craft. Moving the body helps to. Walk around your yard. Or take a walk. No headphones. Just walk. You’ll realize you are moving. Which is better than sitting. And your mind can’t wonder because it’s moving.

wow, I totally agree with you sister! Having grown up in church, I am coming to a point of frustration where it seems like nobody can help me. I'm given all the 'right words' but it's not enough or helping. Like, who am I meant to be? Judgement has been passed by many, even and especially those closest to me - not that I let anyone truly get that close due to 'internal wounds' (that they say don't exist and that I just have to get over/overcome[but they fail to deal with in their own lives...})L.O.L. #Inception #squirrel... They seem to be unable to draw me out - in love bring about my hearts confession of that which God created me to be and do (be first). They want me to say the right things... read the Bible over the Honda Manuel that God spoke to me deeply and personally though regarding identity and the thoughts/plans He has for me. He made all and can use a donkey to speak to us - where we are at. Thank you for sharing that. "You need counseling?" "You go to a recovery group?" "You have issues?" yeah, and you don't? ;P #DENIAL!

[@jl8805]

My goodness, can not believe people would treat you as such, mainly "Christians". Know that a person who truly has God in their heart would never make fun of someone's condition (regardless of what it is) I'm so happy you decided to give yourself to God! Congrats! You are a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17) You CAN go to Church. Don't let anything or anyone stop you. Look at the thirst you have for the word of God! Sadly now days we stop going to church because people gossip and they are Hippocrates, I myself have been in the situation but I understand that I'm there to worship God, to be closer to him and can't let people affect my relationship with God. Also know that church is not a building. Church is the people. God says where 2 or three are gathered in my name I will be there. Matthew 18: 19-20. And not only that God says " I am with you always, to the end of the age" Matthew 28:20. He will never forsake you. (Deuteronomy 31:6) even if you are at home or anywhere and are watching a sermon or reading his word, praying to him or worshipping him, know that he is there for you and with you!! Even if you don't attend a physical church. And you can't love what you don't know. So the more you get to know him (by reading/listening to his word) the more your love will grow, also peace and faith! May God bless you greatly!! 🙏

[@dashabrown354]

It aligns with a book I recently read as well as a conversation with Mi Mom. I’ve always been the open honest freedom of speech type. For Mi family members they have so many health issues from not addressing anything for whatever reason, keeping the peace, ashamed, too Godly, etc. They don’t hear Mi when I explain how they’re not free to be themselves, behind the facade. So, 1 the book, 2 the conversation and 3/4 Pastor/Scientist the only way to weaken a thing is to address that thing. To God be the glory.

[@SaraKnutsonBranch]

It's like a TED Talk meets Sunday morning. This style of message spoke to me!

[@GWorld3]

I understand her completely. A lot of christians take words from the bible and throw it at a situation or throw it at the enemy instead of living in it , walking in it, and working through it. The concept the Holy Spirit is using her to speak to is John 1:1 : In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. If we are commanded to be like Christ, then it is also commanded that we must be with the word and BE the word, meaning live by the underlining lessons and act in it's underlining practices to see change.

[@malayasantiago5102]

Mean Vaseline I notice a lot of Christians dismiss real problems and smother it with scripture or say “just pray.” “Just pray” is not advice.

[@GWorld3]

MalayaM. It is no secret that Christians dismiss real problems. Most of them overlook the power of empathy scripture instructs us to have towards others, especially towards those who are in need. However, prayer is the most effective solution anyone can advise someone to do in crisis. Who are mere people to resolve ANY situation that not only did God foreknow, but also allowed? Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours (Mark 11:24. ). "Just Pray" is the wisest advice anyone can give.

Your experience is so common it might be the rule. The concept of the body of Christ is beautiful and appealing. Unfortunately something is required in order to prevent it becoming a social club. Paul was operating in a different environment than we are today and consequently different conditions for trust. There is still the human impetus toward love, and we'd like to bring righteousness along with it. How much is holiness in our thoughts? With god all things are possible.

Lu Smith I'm a minister of God but I have been suffering from depression over the years but I have always thought that I could use just the world of God to heal but seriously it has only gotten worse because religion makes you believe that it's maybe because of sin or some spiritual attack that caused these things forgetting the medical side so I think the teaching has changed my perspective on the issue and I also need your advice because it's taking a toll on every aspect of my life. Thanks

[@oilinmylamp]

That is amazing. God bless you in your work. May you grow and expand and help many through your vocation. Amen.

[@michellepoulin9805]

Just recently begun watching Elevation church . . watched the conversation with Pastor John Grey and Steve . . KUDOS! These issues MUST be brought to Light, MUST be spoken about, they are God issues and I loved the forum and honesty! Also, loved this conversation with Dr. Caroline Leaf! Did a 4 yr psych degree a few years ago and had to laugh whenever I heard students or professors make distinctions between science and God, when in truth God IS science, God IS math, God IS art, metaphysics etc . . the universe, our galaxy, our bodies and our minds all work on the intricate, balanced and logical, though miraculous systems GOD has created them to. I swear, the more I understand, the more I love Him and am in absolute awe of (lets say) Him ~ Blessings

[@racheldillard596]

I've always understood her she's amazing she knows what she's talking about everybody needs to listen to her because she understands the brain

[@donellecole6827]

This is an absolutely amazing interview that really challenges strongholds placed by religion, lack of mindfulness and also lack of awareness. We make so many decisions unconsciously because we are unaware of the practical tools available to make lasting changes.

[@tainapomeroy3441]

Mindfulness is your attitude. Where do you place yourself as a Christain?

[@racheledwards5086]

I would love to hear her talk about the Holy Spirit

[@eneodeh9711]

Search for her on KZbin. She talks about the holy spirit in her talks about the brain and renewing our minds

[@Thri113rNasty]

i just mentioned that in my comment. wow

[@lukefigueroa7525]

Rachel Edwards she did say the Spirit of God....

[@skyelove6261]

“For my thoughts are higher than your thoughts”-God

[@GQ3MindSpeaks]

exactly 8 minutes in and Dr. Caroline Leaf has already got me commenting! I totally agree with her. I am a believer and I absolutely despise Christian jargon. when I first read be transformed by the renewing of your mind. I immediately started to learn as much as I can on neuro science that I could without going to college. my thought is if I am to renew my mind then I need to know how it works. at least on a basic level a laymen's level. Oh how I have love this series. the crazy thing is my pastor is preaching a series on life. and the two series compliment each other so well its mind blowing!

[@lindasamples990]

Pastor Furtick's honesty with his humanity is what causes me to believe all things are possible through and because of the mercy and grace of The Father. (63 days 16 minutes; practical, doable steps!) We know ABOUT God through His Word. We KNOW God through His Holy Spirit. (His) people are the temple of His Spirit. 🙏❤

Yay. Finally the church can back up what science knows and recommends..the growing of our brains, through mindful practices. Thank you Lord!

[@anamasah]

Pastor Furtick is such a courageous guy for being so open about his struggles! It takes some sort of strength together with humility to be that real.

[@FosterLovelace]

Steven, you are a huge light in our world. Thank you so much for this. I went on a journey to find God face to face a few years back. I was raised in the church ; one day felt empty and left. Got beyond just feeling God and was completely restructured mind wise ; exfoliated a boulder of anxiety and am now more alive and stronger than I ever believed I could ever be. God is so much more than Ive ever cinceptualized. He is within me , around me, and apart of me. This world needs this message more than ever. I too will carry this light. Best-

[@pastorkeithmawoyo4459]

Shuwa here? I'm shocked

[@AwakenTheDawn2004]

Wow, God has been dealing with me about a lot of this... I've got to quit quoting scripture while denying my personal responsibility in it. I've got to own & own up to my part.

[@mxbuddy311]

My brain just exploded 🤯and then my mind renewed 😇 this is gold

[@StevenStGelais]

It's some pure gold for sure Caleb. I don't think I've ever seen such an educational faith based video in my life.

[@acharich]

😂💣

[@johneleven25]

The Buddha saw this 2600 years ago. God is one.

[@johneleven25]

You haven't really look. This was taught in the last century and even earlier but religious authorities resisted them. This knowledge (she is giving very little here, very wisely) has been around always but mostly underground. Science is only catching up with God and now we discovering all this but people with spiritual insight knew this minus the modern scientific language. The Buddha, 600 years before Jesus (!) precisely taught on this but others too a few thousand years before that. Do your research and see how great and infinite our God is. He is greater and better than we were told by ironous religious dogmas.

[@susana4434]

Wow!

[@skyecuteclouds]

Love ya Pastor Furtick!! Its great to see a pastor who is so vunerable and true. Just like the rest of us, who are listening to your word. Thank you!!

[@christalrobinson6181]

I need people like them in my life.

[@marwinreeves3274]

Pastor Steven Furtick offers the church the opportunity to live vulnerable. Although pastors have to choose their confidants carefully, from this interview it appears that being able to evaluate our own thinking is the answer to thriving spiritually. As a man thinkers in his heart, so is he; takes on a whole new meaning.

[@lisagarcia8349]

I absolutely love how transparent Steven is on here. The Bible tells us to be open for correction & Steven does just-that here! Loved to see the different perspective in the way we think to actually see things from another lens.

[@kuturadebe8343]

Please bring her on again. Thankful for this platform of teaching!!!

[@mdillondesigns09]

This is phenomenal and so freeing. Growing up in church my whole life, there has been a background guilt in working through issues because we're taught not to focus on those things.

[@halljaso]

Bro!!! Steven!!!!! You are freeing the masses with this INTERVIEW!!! 🤯🤯🤯. Thank you!!! The Body of Christ SO NEEDS THIS VOCABULARY TO BECOME FREE!!! 🙌🏽

[@danielnaude5248]

I don't know where the Doc is from, but her accent sounds South African, like mine. I praise God for not being a "local" God, but a universal God, using people from all over the world, to bring me His message. I thank our Heavenly Father for letting my path cross with that of Pastor S. Furtick, even if it is over the internet. May your cup overflow Pastor. Thank you Jesus, Amen.

[@tebbybear1923]

Wow man of God,stay true and you'll grow strong in Christ. Not many pastor's can go out in public with their weaknesses. God bless you enrich you to help others. I'm inspired. This is a struggle for Christians, the mind is the battlefield. We are called in Romans 12:2 to renew our minds. Thanks and blessing. Dr Leaf you are God send to help the body of Christ. Blessing to you too

[@MattLeFaitMusic]

My wife sent me this to watch because I'm having a hard time sleeping. This is great!

[@jesibarnhart6264]

[@carrie.ragland.9833]

Love me some Dr Caroline Leaf!!!! (And sister-love me your shoes too lol). Wow I’m beyond blessed to have two of the wisest most understanding children, leaders of God, together! Thank you Lord. You’re just “SO” good to me; to us!!!!

[@BlueZ808]

I kept wondering .... so nobody is going to comment on her shoes?! LOL Educated with some bad heels. Loved this message and those heels!

[@favoriteone8636]

At LAST.....I SEE!!!!!

[@lacigalvanssleepmeditation8160]

So true, so many people are turned off by the guilt, shame, and condemnation that goes with religion. People are guilt tripped about being imperfect, yet, we all are. We are just trying to be better people everyday and so I like when she states that she likes God, not religion. Same.

[@sandy06041]

The Bible says when you search for me with all your heart you will find me. But this message is saying it’s through learning to think. I will always go with what the Bible says.

[@preciousbosah512]

I appreciate how he can be vulnerable and honest about his experiences. Funny how I had the love zone freak out today and I struggled to make the right decision just this afternoon and I have been reading over and over the scriptures but I still felt hurt and angry. I have been on KZbin all day listening to sermons on anger, unforgiveness and the mind generally. Thank you for this.

[@vishakhatekwani1458]

Pastor Steven, let me tell you, you are doing a great job, you are infact exceeding my expectations from a church and from a pastor despite of only being able to connect on virtual channels. Your sermons are answers to my prayers and guide me the way. Thank you so much, for reaching out to us through your online church. God bless you.

[@jesswood405]

This is so refreshing to hear because as a Christian I have felt that exact same way too....I’d be struggling inside and feeling things but was afraid to actually speak out what I was feeling because of how powerful our words are etc....the guilt and struggle I felt because I was still struggling and not being able to just be real about it.

[@tanzabadmintonacademy]

There is a GREATER need in the Body of Christ for the integration of THEOLOGY + PSYCHOLOGY! Thank you Ps Steve and Dr Caroline!

[@rascallyrabbit]

when in a negative environment, I say to myself," I am God's favorite and God loves me a lot". We are all His favorite. 😊This flips my switch back on.

Thank God for this in 2021 November 20th I needed this. I remember listening to this when it first aired. Definitely worth absorbing over and over again, Thank God for Jesus!!!!!!!!

[@adev1631]

Ten years ago I had the wonderful opportunity to attend one of Dr Leaf’s three day seminars. I’m not a “smarty” by any stretch of the imagination, but how she explained and demonstrated complex neuroscience had a huge impact on me. What I learned helped me process extremely difficult life events a couple years later. Where normally someone would spend years in counseling, I was spared having used her methods, along with a lot of faith. I am living a very positive and healthy life. I recommend her book, “Who Switched Off My Brain.” And for couples, “Who Switched Off Your Brain.” Thank you, Pastor Furtick, for doing this special service with Dr. Leaf. You are both big blessings!

[@janeadamsmurphy891]

Oh my Lord, so powerful. Such a truth and so needed in our world. I love this interview!

[@anathipezisa9177]

Religion teaches us to deny reality and if we deny this we increase toxic decisions. When you speak about it, it's in the light and you can deal with it.!! I learnt a lot from this. Praise God. That's why indeed in the midst of reality God is there to hold your hand so that you accept reality whilst believing that things will be okay. You'll be able to deal with it and overcome toxic behaviour.

[@rhondamoses9084]

" If you teach people to think, this is the way to find God. Dr. Carolyn Leaf This is one of the most powerful revelations, I heard in years. Thanks so much for informing Christians who are willing to Detox their brains, that will eventually lead to a toxic free relationships. "Who the son set free is free indeed. John 8:36 Excellent statement.

[@elevationchurch]

@Rhonda moses, what was your biggest takeway from this interview? ^EC Team

[@haysleereed9405]

I honestly took a few notes! Dr. Caroline Leaf is so knowledgeable! And thank you Pastor Furtick for the triggered series. What a lot of this world doesn't understand is that every single one of us is lost, and we constantly think toxic thoughts everyday... and with people going to therapy and getting misdiagnosed with mental illnesses, it's honestly just spiritual warfare that we are all going through... that's the real diagnoses. I just wish the whole world could sit down and watch this.

[@imaniushindifanga127]

i love that he's sober and not naive and high.

[@itsfranky_b]

I’d always see Dr.Leaf in my recommend videos then I was like I gotta watch this today!!! So much power behind evrything she said🙌🏽

[@rismatanaka5267]

i can't stress to you enough how much i love you guys did a sermon like this. oh the people you activated

[@RipleyInc]

What a delightful interaction. I really love the genuineness of this conversation.

[@ronniemills740]

been talking with my wife and our close friends about this. this is amazing Pastor. THank you!

[@envstudies]

Dear Pastor Steven, Please keep doing what you are doing. I mean, when it's right for you - to be open. You are allowing God to speak. He doesn't just speak through your sermon notes - He speaks through your humility to share your truth, which as we know, makes room for God - WHEN I am weak, He is strong. I can.. relate.. to everything you have said. What a gift that THIS is the picture of "a pastor". I have not just information about God, but a revelation of God through my own human experience - and you are validating my human experience, and therefore making God more of God to help me, and making me LESS God - "I'm supposed to think this.. I shouldn't have thought this.. " I feel God's direction in those dark places as only love.. I feel God's love so much more without my voice trying to speak over my problem.. instead of just being aware of it - which enables me to HAND it to Him - taking every thought captive TO HIM. I know it was so hard for you to share on a public platform... thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I am not scared OF freaking out anymore, or trying to avoid it - awareness - I know it is a safe place, and God welcomes me - we are not alone, in the body of Christ together, or just us with out thoughts. Amen!!!

[@mixedlove1234]

I empathize for the pastor. He seems to be going through something during this discussion. 💜🙏🏾

[@sovannpen]

Being a pastor and leader is hard. I've noticed many pastors like talking with counselors because they need healing, support, the freedom to be real.

[@cassieridley8147]

I love he showed us his vulnerability as a leader but to see him getting up and still running with what God created him for🥰🥰 gives me so much courage

[@Lydia-Roe]

Indeed - and it's even more beautiful that he brought her on and was processing through his struggle in front of his flock and help them gain benefits as well. This is a beautiful, difficult, and necessary process for us to grow as individuals and as a community.

"That is why, for the sake of Christ, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong." 2 Cor 12:10. Walk in the Light!

[@thorneb-witter4893]

First I just want to thank you both for having this conversation. In many ways Steven Furtick asked questions that many of us have but find it difficult to speak or say out out loud..for all the various reasons ,some of which were stated. This is among the best use of 49 minutes I've spent on KZbin. Dr.Leaf connected the Spiritual and Physical realms of Brain/Mind with scripture, leaving Us with a deeper sense of how to approach how we decide who we are in relation to everyone and everything. Also The reference to Jesus' Prayer at Getsemane made the connection for me. (The Jesus Model). She is able to articulate with precision. A Wise and Powerful conversation. Thank You very much.
