In this episode of the Mind Bully Podcast, Norense addresses suicidal thoughts, suicidal ideation, performance-based identity, burnout, and spiritual warfare in the mind. Sparked by the tragic loss of NFL athlete Rondale Moore, this conversation confronts what happens when high performers feel empty, isolated, or defined by achievement.

If you’ve ever tied your worth to your job, numbers, title, relationship, or performance, this episode reminds you of a deeper truth: your identity is not built on achievement — it is rooted in who God says you are.

This episode covers:

• Christian mental health and suicidal ideation
• Performance-based self-worth
• Identity in Christ vs identity in achievement
• Spiritual warfare and the battle of the mind
• Suppression, burnout, and coping cycles
• Worship and Scripture as tools for renewal
• Genesis 1:26 and being made in the image of God
• Purpose beyond profession

You are not your worst season.You are not your numbers.You are not worthless.You are needed here.

Grief doesn’t mean your faith is failing.
And believing doesn’t mean you stop hurting.

In this vulnerable episode of the Mind Bully Podcast, Norense opens up about processing loss, emotional triggers, and trusting God during seasons of deep grief. Recorded during a weekend filled with memories tied to tragedy, this conversation explores how faith and sorrow can exist at the same time.

If you’ve ever wondered:

* Why does the pain resurface?

* Why do anniversaries hit so hard?

* Is something wrong with my faith because I’m still grieving?

* How do I silence the negative voice during loss?

This episode walks through the tension between grief and belief — and how trusting God in suffering doesn’t mean suppressing your emotions.

Grieving is not weakness.
It’s evidence that you loved.
And believing in the middle of grief is spiritual maturity.

* How to process grief in a healthy, faith-centered way

* The difference between emotional triggers and spiritual decline

* How to handle grief as a Christian

* Why God’s peace is not the absence of pain

* How the negative voice attacks during vulnerable seasons

* Biblical meditation (Joshua 1:8) in seasons of loss

* Finding purpose in pain without rushing healing

Can you allow yourself to grieve — and still trust God?

Joshua 1:8 — Meditating on truth in seasons of uncertainty.

Comfortable Christianity isn’t the same as following Jesus.

In this episode of the Mind Bully Podcast, Norense challenges the version of faith that avoids discomfort, confrontation, and cost — and asks a hard question many believers never slow down to answer:

Are we actually living out the gospel, or just protecting our comfort?

This conversation unpacks why real discipleship is disruptive, why truth often creates tension, and why avoiding hard conversations about faith, culture, identity, and conviction slowly shrinks the calling God placed on your life.

Jesus didn’t call people to blend in.
He called them to stand out.

If your faith never challenges you…
If obedience never costs you anything…
If following Jesus feels easy, quiet, and convenient…

This episode is an invitation to re-examine what you’re actually living for.

• The difference between comfortable Christianity and true discipleship

• Why avoiding confrontation can weaken your faith

• How culture pressures believers to stay silent

• Why truth and love are not opposites

• The cost of following Jesus in a comfort-driven world

• Why shrinking your convictions isn’t humility

• How fear of rejection shapes how we live out our faith

Where have you chosen comfort in places Jesus is calling you to courage?

If this episode challenged you, stirred conviction, or named something you’ve been avoiding, consider rating and reviewing the podcast or sharing it with someone who’s wrestling with the same tension.

Discipleship was never meant to be easy.
It was meant to be real.

What if the frustration you feel isn’t burnout — but disobedience?

In this episode of the Mind Bully Podcast, Norense breaks down what happens when you ignore the call God placed on your life and allow fear, people-pleasing, or insecurity to lead instead.

Using 1 Samuel 15 (Saul & Samuel), this conversation dives deep into the difference between being gifted and being obedient, why shrinking feels “safe” but is actually destructive, and how the negative voice convinces you to sit on what God told you to do.

This episode is a wake-up call for anyone who feels stuck, burdened, hesitant, or afraid to take the next step — especially when you know what you’re supposed to be doing.

• Why the burden you feel is evidence of your calling

• The danger of people-pleasing and partial obedience

• Saul’s disobedience and what it reveals about leadership and fear

• Why “playing small” isn’t humility — it’s rebellion

• How fear disguises itself as logic, planning, and modesty

• The difference between gifting and divine enablement

• Why obedience unlocks clarity, confidence, and peace

• How to silence the negative voice that tells you “you can’t”

• “Why do I feel stuck even though I’m gifted?”

• “Why won’t this burden go away?”

• “What if I fail?”

• “Am I really called to do this?”

This episode is for you.

What if the thing keeping you stuck isn’t your circumstances but what you’re hiding?

In this raw and deeply personal episode of Mind Bully, Norense challenges you to do one simple but terrifying thing: tell the truth.

Not the polished version. Not the “I’m good” version.The real one.

This episode explores the battle in the mind, the tension between faith and fear, and why hiding behind titles, performance, or even spiritual language can quietly keep you bound. Norense opens up about doubt, calling, money, pressure, ego, vulnerability, and the internal wrestling many believers never talk about — but all experience.

If you’ve ever felt stuck even though you love God…
If you’ve been afraid to open up because honesty was used against you…
If you’ve questioned whether your burden is from God or your ego…

This episode is for you.

• Why telling the truth is a spiritual act of freedom

• The difference between reason vs. revelation

• How over-spiritualizing can become another form of hiding

• Why vulnerability creates real connection and healing

• The mental warfare behind shame, fear, and perfectionism

• How to move forward even when the negative voice won’t stop

• Why God works with raw materials, not perfection

What truth have you been avoiding — not because it’s false, but because it’s uncomfortable?
