57. Do Bad Decisions Change God's Plan For Us?
We are the One: Christianity and Mental Health with Travis Reinold
When we make mistakes in the Christian life, it's easy to underestimate the grace of God and believe that God's plan for us has changed. For example, we may think that we're no longer qualified to go into the ministry based upon bad choices we've made in our past. However, a Biblical study of Abraham shows that even when we struggle with faith and obedience, God doesn't quit on us.

We are the One: Christianity and Mental Health with Travis Reinold

info_outlineIn this episode, we welcome back Stefani as she discusses how politics and information are impacting our mental health in the midst of an election year. She shares what she's hearing from patients in order to describe how we're all feeling.
There's nothing wrong with having strong political viewpoints or participating in politics, but often times politics can distract us and lead us to become more afraid and angry with one another. And perhaps, during COVID-19, Satan couldn't have scripted things any better. With social distancing rules and masks, we're all gravitating more towards our mobile devices where the enemy can influence us (both sides of the aisle) with more information that causes us to become angry or afraid.
As Christians, we believe that it's impossible to love one another without God. And even though we may hate evil and opposing ideologies, we're commanded to love all people unconditionally.
It's interesting that COVID-19 is a respiratory virus that impacts our ability to breathe and the Greek word for "Spirit" is also used for "breath" and "wind." While no one knows why God's allowing COVID-19 in America, perhaps he's reminding us to use the Holy Spirit rather than our flesh to have love, joy, and peace rather than fear and hatred towards one another.
Everyday, we're inundated with worldly viewpoints, so it's imperative that we refresh our thoughts with God's Word. Because while man looks at the outward appearance, God ultimately judges us based upon our thoughts.
And finally, Stefani and I discuss compassion. We never know another's full story, so it's impossible to judge others. Only God can judge. And God has a history of making greatness out of people that no one else wants.
