Strong Tower Mental Health Podcast

Do you know where God wants you to transform culture? Do you know where your place is in the Kingdom of God? Jesus is about bringing heavenly culture to the earth, teaching us how to live and create His culture. Luke Askew is a Kingdom Coach from England. He grew up doing this his way and struggled with anxiety and depression. He came to the end of his own will and path. He found himself shouting to a God that he didn’t believe in. He had great parents with good morals, but did not know God or who Jesus was. In this episode, you will hear Luke’s testimony and what God has shown him about God’s Kingdom culture to do the work God has called us to. The kingdom of God is within each one of us and we need to all discover what God is doing inside each one of us. The only way we can get to the promise is to go through the field of field and gain a great revelation of God in each of it. Come and be inspired to continue through the fear to do it anyway because of God in each of us.

“Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails.” ~Proverbs 19:21

Have you been getting distracted lately? Do you feel like God’s voice has been muffled a bit? In this political season, it can be hard to feel like you hear clearly from the Lord. There are so many stories that can get our attention and we can be sucked into the news and stay there. It’s not that these stories or the news are bad, but what stirs in our heart and mind afterwards can be. How can we identify if we are getting too distracted, and what can we do about this? In this episode, you will hear how we can beat distraction, even with a lot of noise in our world right now.

“Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.” ~John 2:15-17

Do you believe that most trauma takes place in the home? What is God’s purpose for trauma? God doesn’t waste anything. This episode is rich with revelation, wisdom and trauma healing. Colette Toach and her husband are originally from South Africa and are in full time ministry all over the world. They saw miracles take place by walking through deliverance and trauma dealing at the dinner table. This beautiful conversation blends mental health in the church naturally. She was doing neuroscience before there was even a word for it. She believes that trauma takes place in the home and that if you really want to change the church you have to go back to the beginning. Our trauma is a doorway into the wilderness and God is found in the wilderness. We can find out call of God through the trauma. Colette uniquely empowers us to praise God for the trauma. You don't want to miss this episode!

Do you wonder how some people seem to do “authenticity” so well? Or they just seem so confident and sure of themselves but it’s not fake? In this episode you will hear the 6 myths of vulnerability based on the research by Brene Brown. Heidi is a Certified Daring Way Facilitator and teaches groups like Daring Greatly and today you will get a little piece of this work. It's world changing and head tipping. Why does vulnerability make you authentic? Because Jesus was authentic. Jesus cried, wept, was angry and had compassion. He was real. And sometimes we need to little help to get there ourselves.

“That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” ~2 Corinthians 12:10

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” ~Proverbs 3:4-5

Have you felt judged by other Christians? Have you secretly judged others for their choices or even how they look? Adele Vrey had her first experience of God during an abortion and was apart of the Satanic Church. She now loves other Satanists into the arms of God. God is not intimidated by our circumstances, secrets and sins. In this episode, you will hear Adele share the testimony of Riaan Sweigalaar, the ex-leader of the Satanic Church of South Africa. She was the person who loved him even through his hate for her and simply asked him to coffee. Riaan eventually radically experienced the love of God and gave his life to Jesus. He, along with Adele, have received many threats and judgements from other Christians. This episode may stir a lot of emotions and also to help us all grow in our love for others, no matter what they look like, or what they wear. People’s choices are not bigger than God’s love.

“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” ~Matthew 7:1-2

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” ~John 3:16

Do you feel like you don’t fit in? Have you felt like your insecurities keep you from completely being yourself? We weren’t meant to fit in! We were meant to stand out and be the vessel of the Kingdom of God. We often struggle to recognize this because of who and what is around us. The world can “feel” so much bigger. In this episode, you will hear a very vulnerable and authentic journal that was written 6 years ago that many of us might need today. Sometimes you need to get advice from yourself because you are more amazing than you believe.

“Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.” ~1 John 4:8

“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” ~Psalm 139.14

Have you struggled to believe God actually loves you? Have you been angry with God? Patti Olson struggled with low self-esteem, teen pregnancy, rage, sexual abuse, partying and being angry with God. Now a licensed therapist and author, she shares her powerful testimony and how God healed her. We often try to avoid everything and everyone because they hurt us, but this doesn’t allow God into those spaces in our heart. If there is something you are believing that is not true, God wants to heal this part of our heart. God wants us to trust Him and do the work we need to do to get there, no matter what you’ve gone through.

“The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down. Whoever fears the Lord walks uprightly, but those who despise him are devious in their ways.” ~Proverbs 14:1-2

Have you been dealing with toxic shame and feel like you are less than God designed? Do you have close people in your life who continue to toxically shame you? Are you toxically shaming yourself? We need to get a hold of unhealthy and toxic shame and instead behold The One who made us, Jesus Christ. This world has so much toxicity and polarity that it can be hard to field through where we end and toxicity begins. Jesus is the author of Truth and Life and He designed us to live in freedom. We need to get set free from toxic shame around us and be reminded of who we are to live in Christ’s Kingdom as a daughter or son.
