Religious ocd
Does anyone watch any really intense pastors that don’t sugar coat the Bible like Philip Anthony Mitchell or people like that? I want the real truth but feel like it spirals me

I am not familiar with with Phillip Anthony Mitchell's preaching. But I used to listen to pastors that didn't "sugar coat" the Bible a lot, like Francis Chan, John MacArthur, Paul Washer. And it definitely contributed to my OCD worse. One of my counselors specifically recommended i stop listening to hell fire preaching like that. Based on my personal experience I would advise you to avoid any preaching like that. It's not convicting you. It's inflaming your OCD and condemning you. And God does not want that for your life! He wants you to be whole i promise!

@G C Yes really. My first counselor was also a Christian and she told me OCD likes to latch on to that kind of preaching. I do not recommend listening to "intense" preaching of any kind. Would you like to hear what kind of preachers i do like for people with ocd?

@julianofnorwich I just feel so complacent in my faith and just kind of staying like meh cuz I’m uncomfortable but then i feel like I’ll go really extreme if someone tells me one thing you know or I feel like I’m like oh it’s fine I’ll just live like this cuz that preachin is stressing me out

@G C I totally understand i was always worried about being complacent. But being at peace, at rest, is not complacency. OCD destroys peace. And God wants you to have peace in Him. Peace is a Person , it is Jesus.

Check out insight dot org. A radio program called Insight for Living with a pastor/teacher named Chuck Swindol. Truth with grace. Perhaps my lifelong favorite. David Jeremiah is another good one. His name dot org.

Check out John Mark Comer! He is so rooted in truth, but teaches with gentleness and love!!! Please check him out, he helped me a lot. His book/series called The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry helped open my eyes to seeing God as someone who truly cares about it my limitations and calls me into rest as a gift because he tenderly cares! Also, check out Mark De Jesus on YouTube. He has dealt with Christian Scrupulosity and has a lot of wisdom!!

Please help anyone else here with Religious ocd and is a Christian? My brain is going hay-wire and want to know I'm not alone... what do your thoughts say and how do you overcome compulsions? Im going through a rough moment and feel sick with anxiety and stiff. I want to obey God but my thoughts won't stop. I surrender to the Lord and then I have peace with the compulsions and they go away but the thoughts are the scary part please - is this spiritual or is it mental? Or is it both? Would love to hear a Christians opinion on this... because my thoughts latch on and won't dissappear but I know that the Bible commands us to take control of our thoughts and to renew our minds...yet God has grace for this and mercy for our every need... I know God is in control (completely) and my mind creates a lot of the issues for me without any spiritual stuff (it's a very powerful thing) but it's still scary. Lord help me, I surrender myself to you Jesus, counsel my soul and help me.

Religious ocd
My faith stays rooted in fear I don’t know how to stop it. I will be okay trying not to worry and let God handle my situations but then see something and go down a rabbit hole and spiral so bad. Cuz I feel like when I don’t worry then I’m not paying attention to anything going on and just going on with my life. I don’t want to follow him out of fear but I do so am I even really following him

I joined a worship fellowship group with friends at my community college it’s not a extracurricular thing but it’s someone just putting a thing together. but i can’t tell if this is my ocd. but i’m having thoughts of “what if i’m not believing God anymore?” or “what if this isn’t my ocd” or “what if i’m lying to myself and i don’t trust God and this is real” “what if this is real and i don’t wanna be close to God anymore” it’s like triggering because i’m a new christian and still learning about a lot of stuff since i just joined a group because i’m trying to get into more of Gods word. but i get scared of opening because i sin and i tend to be so hard on myself or if i see others like be christian and cuss and i’m like all suprised but idk i think im afraid of opening up in this type of stuff around christian’s that know a lot as i’m still learning… and sometimes i think my ocd will be like “ugh we have to talk about God all the time” and i’m like no no i want to… i’ve had ocd for a year now and my therapist has been in the hospital and i need to sit with it but it’s so hard bc i’m trying to figure if it’s real or not or if i’m lying to myself but i have a current second therapist rn and she’s teaching me about how rumination works and how to stop it. because i struggle with it ugh. i’m so scared this is real. i believe in God i do i just hate these thoughts why does it feel real
