114. Self-Hate and Depression to a Renewed Lens with Jamie Lyn Wallnau


Listen Later

Do you struggle with self-hate? Do you believe that depression is a chemical imbalance? Are you marinating on thoughts of death and negativity?

God has given author and speaker Jamie Lyn a gift to deliver heavier words in the Kingdom of God with humor, love and grace. She is the daughter-in-law of Lance Wallnau and married to Lance Wallnau Junior.

In this podcast, Jamie Lyn shares about her testimony of being medicated for depression, feeling ashamed, and hiding it from her family. She was told it was a chemical imbalance, which was correct for the research at the time.

However, she knew depression wasn’t from God and she loved being around people. She learned from an early age to talk to God. She struggled with pride and striving. She cared very much for authenticity and getting the “real thing”. When she was alone, she “hated herself”. The way she saw her face was so dark. On paper, her resume was amazing. She was the children’s pastor and struggling with depression. She believed the lie that she will never experience joy. She was marinating on death in her thoughts. She finally experienced a prayer of deliverance that opened a door of hope. She watched a couple videos from neurologist Dr. Carolyn Leaf that really helped her understand the science behind getting free. She learned that depression is not about a chemical imbalance. She learned that depression is behind her thought patterns, how you are eating, what you are watching on TV and other factors. She found hope that it wasn’t a chemical imbalance.

Hear this powerful and encouraging testimony of a renewed mind and how to stay that way. Our body is a house and Jesus is sitting inside of us. When you follow Jesus doesn’t stop us from opening the door of darkness again. What will you choose when it knocks on your door?

“For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.” ~Proverbs 23:7

“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” ~John 10:27
