60. God is a Therapist with Tim Ross

<p style="font-weight: 400;">The questions that God asks Adam and Eve are therapist questions: Where are you? Who told you? What have you done? Pastor Tim Ross, from Embassy City Church in Irving, TX shares his powerful testimony about sexual abuse and pornography. He was able to get out of the lie that vulnerability is dangerous and is now walking out vulnerability as a successful pastor. He had loving parents who allowed the Holy Spirit to minister to Tim and not control him. The more Tim read the Bible the more he realized that God is a therapist. The power of what we confess and speak is huge and the enemy wants to silence us. Genesis 1 and 2 God teaches his loving boundaries for us, and Genesis 3 is a full-on counseling session. If we can be self-aware enough to see the lies that we are believing, we can do something with this! People go to a dentist 2x/year and a physical 1x/year. Society has made it acceptable to treat every part of your body except for your mind. We have so disrespected the brain as an organ and the emotional well-being of our lives. We need leaders to live as authentic and vulnerable as the Bible reads. That means getting mental health counseling. The Bible spared no details in sharing the brokenness and frailty of humanity – this is us as the body of Christ!</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Tim’s website: <a href= "https://embassycity.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://embassycity.com/</a></p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Follow Tim on Instagram: @upsetthegram</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">To listen to the 8 week mental health series Embassy City start here: <a href= "https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/tim-ross-peace-of-mind-week-1-silence-isnt-golden/id1046976749?i=1000553866367" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/tim-ross-peace-of-mind-week-1-silence-isnt-golden/id1046976749?i=1000553866367</a></p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Find more about Heidi: <a href= "http://www.heidimortensonlmft.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">www.hei
