EP.16 Toxic Positivity in the Church
Have you ever felt like you have to be totally fake on Sundays? Have you found it difficult to make genuine connections with other believers because you're hurting and you don't feel comfortable admitting it? Join me as I discuss this phenomenon of Toxic Positivity that sometimes keeps us separated from each other and God.

I accidentally submitted and wasn’t done lol. Anyway my one question concern with this episode is you say the Bible doesn’t say anything about calling anxiety sin. I truly am learning the Bible in a new way with the Theocast guys, law/ gospel distinction so I’m open to a new way of understanding- but what about verses Phil 4:5-7, or Luke 12 and the many many verses saying do not be afraid which is not always fear in the sense of like monsters but appear along the lines of anxious thoughts.

I really enjoyed this and it was a lot to think about. I SO appreciate people speaking up boldly about some toxic ideas in the American church and with some celebrity status preachers/ teachers and their organizations. The damage some of these have caused is terrible and widespread.
