“With compassion, we EMBRACE doubt and uncertainty” amen 👏🏼

Thank you, Mark. Your videos have been transformational in my life. I had a lot of trauma in my life stemming from my childhood. My mother had me while living as a prostitute, so I never knew my father, and she had a lot of mental and emotional issues, very narcissistic and abusive in every sense of the word those things affected me profoundly. Consequently, I had no foundation of unconditional love and acceptance and was really taught to hate and reject myself and not to express any emotions. For as far back as I can remember, I tried to fit in and always suppressed my emotions. After I became a Christian, I started working on my emotional and mental issues with God and have been doing that for well over 25 years. However, at the age of 50, I started having a lot of health and emotional issues and I found myself spiraling out of control being dominated by low self-esteem, self-hatred, anxiety, fear, guilt, condemnation, OCD, rumination, severe insomnia, loneliness, abandonment, feeling of rejections and performance-based Christianity. Anything that could possibly be wrong with someone emotionally I had it. I now understand that although I was dealing with my issues, I was just treating symptoms, cutting off branches, and not getting to the root or heart. I needed to let the love of God heal me deep within. Your videos have helped me to see that more clearly and I believe that those wounded layers are finally being removed one at a time and God's love is finally able to penetrate deep with me. You and Melissa are two individuals in the body of Christ to whom I can really relate because so many of your experiences mirror mine, and you speak from a place of understanding, very non-judgmental, and compassionate. This is important to me because most religious people will always tell you what you need to do to fix what's wrong, and they don't ever tell you just rest in the love of God and let that love heal you. This is what you allow me to see. All my self-effort and striving couldn't heal my wounds, only a personal encounter with the LOVE of the Father can do that. THANK YOU, and please pray for the viewers at the end of your videos.

So I'm glad I'm not the only one that's had this type of upbringing.

Mark ... HOW did you know???!!!! I need this message so badly as I’m navigating an intense spike. You are a paramedic on the spiritual and emotional battlefield. I’m in the process of learning and practicing how to be both an overcoming soldier AND my own paramedic. Friday is your normal dynamic duo day with Melissa ☺️, and I don’t see you posting on Rumble either, so I’m just a bit concerned. Hope y’all are well. ❤

Excellent video! This is another powerful video to accompany the powerful empathy teaching previously taught. Thank you Mark, you are so appreciated and loved, more than you can even imagine. ❤

Charla, your closing sentence is so beautiful and moving ... you’ve just put into words how I and the rest of the tribe feel towards Mark and Melissa!! 😭

I just had a downward spiral (for weeks) - avoidance tactics. I'm starting to get out, one step at a time.... today. I recently was in such a positive place, experiencing the kingdom of God, His joy & peace for the longest stretch I have had yet. Resting in Jesus' finished work and receiving and walking in His love for me. Then something "triggered" my old ways and caused me to spiral and avoided praying, reading, going to church. I definitely fall into avoidance. I look back over my life and I definitely had OCD tendencies that I broke off myself as a kid. When I received the gift of salvation, it turned my journey in the Lord to scrupulosity. I have many, but not all the criteria. I went through an 11 year battle of torment, thinking I blasphemed the Holy Spirit. Years ago. The Lord set me free of that. Holy Spirit has definitely had His hand in freeing me in layers. I can see that now. To come off of such a long stretch of peace and joy then to spiral downward over a couple of triggers, made me seek help again and it brought me once again to Scrupulosity. I really war with this idea. Is it a "worldly label" for something God is very clear in His word about? 1. Don't be double-minded 2. Be transformed by the renewing of your mind 3. Walk by faith, not by sight 4. Anything not of faith is sin 4. Faith Hope Love vs Fear Doubt Unbelief I know it is very real and I deal with it. I choose to reach out to Jesus, once again, take a deep breath, and go back to the Scriptures He led me to, to rebuild me: Hebrews 11:6, Ps 23, John 15, Rom 8, and a few more. ❤❤❤

Letting go of burdens Hold on to your family. All is well with me, God

Thanks be to God to be a God of order and not confusion, thanks be to God to be a God of love and not one of hate, praise God for who he is and where he stands for! I bind to hell one being ashamed or feeling self-pity because of mental health issues while binding one to be compassionate towards oneself when confronted with mental health issues in my life, the lives of my family, friends, colleagues, neighbours, acquitances, opponents and the body of Christ, binding to hell being unequally yoked and having any common share with feeling ashamed or having self-pity while lacking compassion when having mental health issues, in accordance with this word and colossians 3:12, isaiah 30:18, 2 corinthians 6:14-18 in the name and blood of Jesus Christ, amen and hallelujah! ❤

Thank you mark and God bless you thanl you for all the videos they are really helpful. Please could you make a video about safety ocd and what i mean by that is fear of persecution for you faith and fear that i am denying the Lord Jesus if i dont post something on fb for example or if i am not brave enough. Thank you

hi i just had a thought n wanted to see if anyone agreed w me but do u think the whole idea of being a “luke warm” christian opens the door to legalism and blocks relationship w God?

Can anybody talk with me on here with willful sin? And other stuff

Mark, are you and the family ok?? You are unusually absent from your email list and channels. 🥺🙏❤️
