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!!
