The Counter Culture Mom Show with Tina Griffin

Many believers quietly assume that suicide, depression, and anxiety represent a spiritual failure, but Christine D’Clario breaks that stigma for good. Christine is a worship leader and the author of Healing in the Desert: Finding Your Voice on the Journey from Brokenness to Freedom. After navigating a life rife with trauma, confusion, and loss, Christine struggled to find God in the midst of the hurricane, even amid her Christian roots. Years of struggling and suffering culminated in a brush with suicide. This warrior shares what she believes to be the moments that led up to that near-catastrophic decision, and how the church was ill-equipped to discuss depression and anxiety. She emphasizes the importance of Luke 10:27, which commands us to love the Lord with all our hearts - the key to a solid Christian life.

TAKEAWAYS

The church generally fails to address mental and emotional health from a pragmatic perspective

Mental health resources have significantly expanded today, however, there are more people needing assistance than ever before

Confession is key - reaching out and asking for help is the first step in the healing journey

The church should address mental health with clarity and Biblical truth and be prepared to offer help to those that need it

Kytia L’amour is an accomplished performer, speaker, and author, but amid her many accolades, she has struggled with something that’s all too familiar for many women: postpartum depression. Kytia grew up in a Christian household and lived in a counter-cultural way as she grew in her faith. Still, she struggled with an identity crisis when she became a mother, jumping suddenly from hustling for acting jobs in the Hollywood Hills to raising babies! Kytia shares her insight about depression, noting that the transition to parenthood can be a devastating blow, because it means they have to die to self. It’s an overnight change, and it can be a massive culture shock. Kytia also explores the themes of depression, Christian community, and Scripture in her book, Postpartum Depression Devotional: Compassionate Devotions for Reflection, Strength, and Prayer.

TAKEAWAYS

Having a baby and caring for a newborn can make mothers feel isolated and alone

Mom guilt and anxiety can hit unexpectedly in the most unpredictable ways

Parenthood often signifies the death of selfish behavior, and this can be an intense adjustment

Look for ways to help people in your community and be a blessing those around you, especially new moms who don’t have family close

What is really at the root of postpartum depression? It’s lies, whispered by the enemy, meant to deceive, despair, diminish, and destroy. Amanda Scarborough was deep in this damaging and false reality when the Lord ripped off the veil of deceit, showing her that He was the only one who could truly help her heal from the crushing weight of anxiety and depression. Amanda is a small business owner and the author of A Beautiful War: Finding Hope in the Darkest Moments. She discusses her healing journey after suffering from postpartum depression and how God redeemed her pain and turned it into a testimony that has encouraged and guided other women suffering a similar battle. Amanda shares how women can get help if they are hurting and how we can help new moms who are in despair.

TAKEAWAYS

If you are feeling burdened and overwhelmed, lean on Jesus - He is your help, He is your healer, He is your counselor

Do not allow the enemy to lie to you and tell you that you are alone in the battle

Jesus LOVES you and will always love you

Contact the Suicide and Crisis Hotline if you need immediate help by calling the number 988

Amanda Scarborough was in a fetal position, weeping on the floor when her husband walked into their bedroom, immediately realizing that something was terribly wrong. Their baby lay crying on the bed, while Amanda had distanced herself so that she wouldn’t harm the baby. It was at that moment that she did something she hadn’t done before: she cried out for help. This is what severe postpartum depression looks like. She needed intervention, guidance, and treatment. Amanda tells her story of wrestling through the difficulties of PPD through a Biblical lens. As a business owner, wife, and mother, she has walked through some of the deepest valleys and emerged with wisdom and experience that has helped many other moms dealing with similar serious postpartum depression themselves.

TAKEAWAYS

The enemy’s tactic with postpartum depression is to keep you isolated and convince you to harm your baby and/or take your own life

When you’re IN the midst of depression, it’s often hard to find the words to describe what you’re feeling

Shame is often a big factor in PPD, which stops women from seeking help and perinatal depression manifests when the baby is still in utero

If you feel depressed, get help by calling 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline

When she was left jobless, homeless, and abandoned nearly overnight, Michal Russo realized that she had been ignoring some serious red flags about her lifestyle. God got her attention in a major way, and she promised to cast off all the stumbling blocks in her life, including her daily practice of yoga. Michal is the marketing director for TCT Network, and shares her powerful testimony - a trial by fire that opened her eyes to the dangers of mysticism, eastern religions, and the insidious influence of bloodthirsty, destructive false gods. She opens up about why she ignored yoga’s red flags and the justification behind it, how God called her out of this false religion, and why it’s so easy to get sucked into yoga practices. If you’re currently practicing yoga, it may be hard to stop, but it’s much more painful to suffer under the thumb of demonic forces.

TAKEAWAYS

Michal’s first book shares about the deception of Yoga: 7 Steps to Realign Body, Soul, Spirit

Christians often communicate incorrectly about yoga; it’s important to know what you’re up against

The mysticism that birthed yoga far predates Hinduism

If you are aligned with the Lord, don’t open yourself up to any other type of spiritual influence
