"For every look at yourself, take ten looks at Christ.” Pastor Paul Washer often includes this powerful line in his sermons, and it resonates with me. I used to consider shifting to Psychology in college, thinking it would aid my healing process. However, after listening to Pastor Jonny’s message in this podcast, I’ve realized that all I truly need is not to look inward but to look upward to the Lord Jesus Christ-the One who rescues me from the trap of over-introspection and leads me to the cross. God bless you, pastor Jonny. I praise and thank God for your honesty and bravery.

So true! "What could they have been anxious about?" As a Christian who struggles with anxiety, great comfort is found in speaking the Word of God over yourself - which is reassurance to your soul and to you. It is a divine message come straight from the mouth of God. It is more sure than my mind, my beliefs, or anything. When I remind myself I am not alone because Jesus is with me, that is more true than even seeing in front of me. Saint, be encouraged, for your God loves you so much that he is with you even in your struggle - just as he was with Elijah and Moses! God hates our sin, but loves us dearly!

I've been a christian for 11 years now and before I got baptized I struggled with panic disorder and I still do today, yes pastor Jonny is right, we are all different and some of us are more prone to anxiety due to personality or maybe a trauma you faced in life. I was born with a heart condition and had an open heart surgery at 9 so this affected me my whole life. But God is always there to get me through tough times of anxiety and panic, ive learned over the years how very crucial it is to have a strong prayer life, He really does listen and answer prayers.

Great video. As someone who was recently diagnosed with Graves‘ disease (hyperthyroidism) I found this very timely. You even mentioned thyroid issues in your talk which I found divinely “coincidental”. It’s tough not to get angry with God as it’s debilitating especially with a newborn on the way with my wife. But I’m learning. Thanks Jonny.

In the midst of a depressive/anxious episode and don’t seem to be able to move forward/upward. I thank my heavenly Father that He loves always. This podcast episode very timely reminding me I am not alone! My lack of discipline does affect my mind and sin may be in the midst.😢 Humbly continue to seek the Lord. Looking forward to this series. Thank you and blessings.

Thank you Hank and Johnny, great conversation and encouraging for us folk getting a little older, larger and whose sporting injuries are starting to take a toll. Praise the Lord for his wonderful promises to give us peace when we trust in him (Phil 4:6-7). On another note you seem like a chip off the old block Johnny, I remember your dad preaching down here in NZ back in the 90's when he was part of the GCC team which came to Kiwi Ranch and we hosted him at our church here in Auckland as well. Praise the Lord for you gents, keep up the good ministry.

Can you also talk about ungodly grief (like Judas' grief that led to suicide) and Godly grief (Peter's grief that led to repentance) and differentiate the two? I had always felt like I was more like Judas because I couldn't forgive myself from all the sins I committed against the Lord. I think it would be really helpful for me, pastor. Thank you for considering.

I'm no pastor. But if my understanding is anywhere near spirit-led and true. The difference between Esau and Isaac is that Esau felt bad because he wanted to continue in sin. He was sorrowful because he knew he shouldn't do certain things but still wanted to do them and therefore from his heart, he continued to live in sin. Whereas Isaac is grieving to repentance from a regenerate heart and not wanting to continue in sin. Now with Judas, I would imagine that it's close to the same thing as with Judas.

IFS therapy allows you to remove fears through the removal of protector parts and what are called exiles. Highly recommend.

You mean: does my mind affect my body? Our body is dead on its own. Our mind is the alive part of us. Feelings, emotions, thoughts and so on come in and through our mind. Our body will follow up.
