Mental Health Bible Study Podcast
This Mental Health Bible Study Podcast is hosted by Tyra E. Rowell, an empath who loves to talk about life, faith, and mental health despite her speech impediment due to being born with a hearing loss. She is an introvert with many roles and responsibilities who still finds time to create.
Let's talk about why she decided to create this Mental Health Bible Study Podcast. For three reasons. 1. To share knowledge that is not being taught in the church about mental health which is in the Bible. 2. To share knowledge about the psyche of human beings. Psyche means soul. Your soul is the seat of your feelings, thoughts, and willpower to choose. 3. To share knowledge that will uplift God's people and show them ways on how to live a balanced life being free, whole, healed, and happy.

Hello there, welcome to bonus episode three. So you already have got three bonus episode one and two, where you had to ask yourself these questions what is going on with me? With feeling words, of course, and also expressing what got you, whatever those feelings were. And then the second question what do I want to do about it? Especially with those automatic and intrusive thoughts. But it was also good to it is also good to be able to express those thoughts so that you can ask yourself the question what would God want me to do? How would God want me to feel? How would God want me to react? You know, because here we are going to the third question what can I do about it? What can I do about it? What can I do about it? Because this is where you focus on what you can control. You can control your thoughts, you can control your feelings, you can control your behavior, how, the way you react to things, especially things that you cannot control. This is where the part that I'm hoping you would get to, the spiritual part of you, because this is the spiritual part where I'm hoping you'll answer these questions, because we do have to express ourselves spiritually and psychologically. There's no point in you just only focusing on the spiritual part and then leave out the psychological part. You know, that's who we are Spirit, soul and body Three parts. So this question is really a spiritual question. The second question is mostly a psychological question what do I want to do about it? The first question is even a psychological problem, you know question. You know what's going on with me, because I really am hoping that you will be able to write down those things about what is going on with you.
Speaker 1:But here we are to the third question what can I do about it? Now, if you find yourself on this question, what can I do about it, and it's still intrusive, then, baby, you may want to sign up for therapy, because this is a spiritual question. What can I do about it? Especially when it is about something you cannot control, something that you cannot do anything about, because at this point the spiritual man, that spiritual woman, has to rise up and say okay, even though I'm hurting, even though I'm frustrated, even though I cannot do anything about this situation, as bad as I want to, as bad as I want to do this, as bad as I want to do X, y, z, this is what I'm going to end up doing. This is what I can do. I'm going to have to give it to the Lord. I'm going to have to pray and say God, help me. I'm going to have to talk to Jesus. I'm going to have to have the Holy Spirit to bring all things to my remembrance. Oh, yes, lord, because it's getting to a point where I have to be mindful of who I am in God. Who I am in God, because, no matter how you are feeling, no matter what you are thinking about, you are still a man of God. You are still a woman of God. If you are a believer, okay, you say you believe in Jesus Christ, your Lord and Savior, and God is your Father and the Holy Spirit is your comforter. Woman of God, man of God.
Speaker 1:On this question, what can I do about it? It should be spiritual answers, Spiritual answers, spiritual answers, but also psychological answers. You can say, okay, I'm going to get a therapy appointment, or I'm going to be mindful, from this day forward, of what's going on with me, mindful of my thoughts, mindful of what I'm feeling, so that I can be the woman and the man that God created me to be, because this is what I desire to be. I desire to do the will of the Lord. So, psychologically, you can put some answers on here.
Speaker 1:It's good to have them, because you are a three-part being, so you want to have probably even a third option where you're dealing with the body, because then, yeah, you can go and get you a great exercise and you can also get you some nutritious food. Yeah, I will admit, because sometimes I do it, I go you some nutritious food. Yeah, I will admit, because sometimes I do it, I go get some comfort food. You know, I make sure I don't overdo it Because I do believe in doing things in moderation. So, of course, if that be the case, feel, process your thoughts, all right. Process your thoughts, alright. Process your feelings. Sit down and do it, put it on paper or have a conversation with someone you trust, because it will help you. It will help you to not internalize what's going on with you and you will not be sitting up here just loading and packing all of these things into your heart and not dealing with it.
Speaker 1:You know Proverbs 4, 23,. Guard your heart with diligence. Okay, this is how you do it. This is exactly how you do it by answering these questions. Guard your heart with diligence, but out of it flows the issues of life. Life is happening, life going to be life-y, no matter what. But, baby, how I react to it is the key. How I react to it is the key. I can either act a fool or I can be the woman that God created me to be, or I can be unhappy or I can be bitter. You know it's your free will. You do what you want to do, but as a man or a woman of God, you do want to end up being a person who is creating space for peace, joy and love Amen. So until the next bonus episode, I want you to be kind to yourself as well as to others.
