Happy Birthday! I appreciate your ministry. I think you helped me realize that I struggle with OCD and religious scrupulosity. I spin. Wash, rinse, and spin. Interestingly, I too have been to a mennonite church. My Dad wanted to be a mennonite. Mom did not. Well that is a culture and we did not grow up in the church. Hmm...interestingly it has just dawned on me that maybe he was wanting certainty by trying to join the church. They are Christians but IMO tend to be more strict in their practice. They sure do have great potlucks. Yum. Can you do a dedicated video to legalism? I think I struggle with that. 1:03:58 "I want to be loved for just me. Not because I'm doing everything just right." That really hit me. My heart echos that statement too. Why is legalism such a problem. It seems to creep up on me all the time.

Your teaching on the victim mentality, self pity etc. is phenomenal. A lot of it resonates deeply. Oh and a belated ''It is your birthday''!

Just some thoughts as I'm watching this: having a very strong religious conviction, even to the point of being oppressive (such as with head coverings), doesm't necessarily make a person OCD. Take a look at conservative Muslim countries and all of the oppressive things women have to submit to in order to not be shamed, beaten, or even killed. My second thought: My parents' marrisge was pretty dysfunctional at times growing up, but I'm still grateful that theh stuck together. Although it's not ideal, I still feel sticking together has values, even when it's not pretty.

Funny how your explained once brother, that OCD'ers feel they want to be seen and loved, always expecting a like back or a coment! 😂😂 When you see someone else get a reply makes you think if you are less Special! Stupid but true😂😂😂 i had to be honest and say it! You have helped me understand so much about how my mind works/emotions! Being very sensetive isnt good always but its a blessing too! Much amor hermano en cristo! ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

Happy birthday Mark, you don’t look 48 tbh. I struggle with bad OCD and anxiety, it is on another level, but your videos have been so helpful. I have a question if you could answer please. I vape which I feel terrible for, I really struggle with vapjng, I gave up smoking but still addicted to the nicotine. I feel such a fraud as I can’t stop, can you help please, and I would like to share the gospel but I have really bad panick attacks just thinking about it. These are sins which I feel terrible for, I hate them. Do you have any advice please? Thank you 🙏
