In this empowering episode of The His and Her Money Show, hosts Talaat and Tai have an inspiring conversation with pastor, author, and influencer Paul Daugherty. Paul is the lead pastor of Victory Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, which was founded by his parents in 1981. He took over leadership of the church in 2014 after the sudden passing of his father. In addition to pastoring Victory Church, Paul is also a popular podcaster and author. His new book "Mind Games: Winning the Battle in Your Mind" shares his powerful story of overcoming depression, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, and more after becoming a young widow and unexpectedly taking the helm of his family's influential ministry. Through biblical lessons, personal stories, and practical insights, "Mind Games" provides a blueprint for readers to gain victory over the debilitating mind games that hold so many people back from living a purposeful and fulfilling life. In this episode, Paul opens up about his mental health battles and how he was able to turn the corner through faith, counseling, trusting his loved ones, and the realization that the “master key” to victory was within him all along through Christ. He also shares wisdom on avoiding the mind games of comparison and jealousy, pursuing spiritual health alongside mental health, involving your spouse in your journey, and finding true success through obedience to God's calling. Key Takeaways:  Paul shares his personal story of dealing with depression, suicidal thoughts, and anxiety after the sudden passing of his father and taking on leadership of his family's church at a young age. He explains how an encounter at his church helped him realize he had the "master key" to victory in Christ all along. This shifted his mindset and enabled him to start overcoming his inner battles. Paul stresses the importance of inviting your spouse into your mental health journey and getting counseling if needed. He apologized to his wife for not properly including her in his grief early in their marriage. To avoid falling into the mind game of comparison, Paul had to repent to his pastor friend Mike Todd for being jealous of Mike's viral success. Paul emphasizes focusing on your growth and purpose, not someone else's success. A kingdom win for one person is a win for all. Benefits of pursuing mental health: More peace, joy, better sleep, less need for others' approval. The real success is obedience to what God called you to do. In the book "Mind Games", Paul shares personal stories and reflections, Bible passages, and counseling insights to help people gain victory over various mind games like depression, anxiety, jealousy, inadequacy, and more.
