Live Beyond - 1 Peter 1:3

When we suffer from mental health conditions, it is so important to view God's love through the lens of the Bible. In this episode, we are going to try and rectify our view so we may be encouraged.

This is a testimony of how I learned God's grace while suffering from mental health conditions.

A testimony of discernment. A setting of some very strict but healthy boundaries and becoming more conservative. My life literally changed when Scripture became authoritative in my life.

This is a testimony that born out of a dark day when I struggled with severe depression, anxiety and panic attacks.  God flipped my impossible situation on its head to bring me a revelation that shook me.

When you are the least of the least in this world, remember who you belong to.  You are the most in God's Kingdom.

Ever wonder what James meant when he said to consider trials pure joy?  We need to consider the benefits that trials produce and that helps us to persevere more.

There are two types of faith: One where you proclaim that you are a believer of Jesus Christ, yet your lifestyle is no evidence of it.  And then a faith where you proclaim the same, and your lifestyle is evidence of this.  James is asking if the first type of faith can save you? We need to become doers of the Word of God.

As Leonard Ravenhill says in his book: the church sleeps while hell is burning.  We need to take action the share the simple yet powerful Gospel of Jesus Christ.
