In this episode of the Ease Your Mind podcast, we’re diving deep into the question: Why are you here?

Are you feeling spiritually stuck, emotionally drained, or mentally overwhelmed? If you’ve been praying but nothing is changing, the missing piece might be the biblical discipline of fasting. 

About This Video:

In this episode of the Ease Your Mind podcast, licensed mental health counselor Christina Adrien explores why Jesus said "this kind" only comes out through prayer and fasting. We dive into the intersection of scripture and psychology to show how fasting doesn't just strengthen your spirit—it actually rewires your brain and triggers cellular healing. 

In this video, you’ll learn:

✔The "Why" Behind the Fast: Why some breakthroughs require more than a five-minute prayer. 

✔The Biology of Prayer: How prayer releases oxytocin (the "love hormone") and serotonin to regulate your mood. 

✔Autophagy & Detox: The scientific process where your body recycles damaged cells during a fast. 

✔The "Our Father" Blueprint: How to use the Lord's Prayer as a structure for your fast. 

✔Practical Tips: Different types of biblical fasts and how to ensure you are feeding your spirit, not just starving your body. 

Scriptures Mentioned:

Matthew 17:21 - The necessity of prayer and fasting. 

Matthew 6:16-18 - Jesus’ instruction on when we fast.

Isaiah 58 - The "True Fast" and the promise of quick healing. 

Romans 12 - Presenting our bodies as a living sacrifice. 

Psalm 139 - Asking God to search our hearts. Have you been praying...but nothing is changing?

Is mental health purely psychological or is there a spiritual dimension we’ve been ignoring?

In this episode of Ease Your Mind, I explore whether anxiety, depression, trauma, and emotional struggles are only chemical...or also spiritual.

This video addresses:

✔️ Is mental illness just a chemical imbalance?

✔️ Can mental health have a spiritual dimension?

✔️ Is everything demonic?

✔️ Why over-medicalizing can be just as dismissive as over-spiritualizing

Healing requires looking at the whole person...body, soul, and spirit.

Is therapy unbiblical?

Does prayer replace counseling?

Is mental illness spiritual… or psychological?

In this episode of Ease Your Mind, I address the biggest misconceptions about therapy, medication, mental illness, and Christianity.

Topics covered:

✔️ Is therapy only for “broken” people?

✔️ Does talking about trauma make it worse?

✔️ Is medication the only solution?

✔️ Does going to therapy mean you don’t trust God?

✔️ Is mental illness always demonic?

✔️ Can prayer alone heal anxiety and depression?

This conversation explores the intersection of faith, psychology, spiritual warfare, trauma, and healing.

Healing is not either/or. It is holistic.

Grief isn’t only about losing someone, sometimes it’s about losing who you used to be.

We grieve relationships, identities, dreams, seasons, and even versions of ourselves. 

In this episode of Ease Your Mind, licensed mental health counselor Christina Adrien teaches how grief works through both psychology and Scripture, and why healing requires more than “staying strong.” Grief is normal, necessary, and part of the human experience — and when we grieve well, something new can emerge. 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

✔️Why grief isn’t only connected to death

✔️The 5 stages of grief and why they don’t always happen in order 

✔️Why grief can keep you stuck when it isn’t processed 

✔️The 3 major grief adjustments: external, internal, spiritual 

✔️Why crying is not weakness — and why avoiding emotion can block healing 

✔️How grief impacts identity (“Who am I now?”) 

✔️How renewing your mind supports healing and transformation 

If you’re grieving a person, a relationship, a dream, or the old version of yourself — this episode will help you process, release, adjust, and renew.

✔️How people can look “fine” while still struggling deeply

Fear isn’t just an emotion, it’s often a core belief that has been shaping your choices, behaviors, and identity without you realizing it.

✔️How schemas develop and shape identity (“I am” statements)

✔️The 3 maladaptive coping styles: avoidance, surrender, overcompensation

✔️Why avoidance actually strengthens anxiety

✔️How trauma rewires the nervous system (fight, flight, freeze)

✔️Why fear steals power, peace, and love

✔️Biblical examples of fear, insecurity, and courage (David, Job, Israel, Saul)

✔️How renewing the mind breaks fear-based strongholds

This episode is for anyone struggling with fear, anxiety, avoidance, people-pleasing, control, or emotional masking — and for believers who want healing without spiritual shame.
