This episode helps us gain tools for identifying the differences between spiritual practice and mental illness and some of the reasons why the lines can get so blurred.

Dr. Anika Wilson-Brown is a POWERFUL voice in the conversations around black mental health and joins Thema and reminding us all that spiritual practice is not synonymous with trauma recovery. There is a bridge between spiritual practice and mental care.

However, we cannot keep using "God" and the realm of spirituality, as the reason, we are not checking in on our mental health and caring for our minds the way we care for our bodies.

Practicing a formula of beliefs that renders you codependent on God, will have you constantly performing for your blessings, which is a form of self-neglect.

YOU CAN LITERALLY BECOME SICK LIVING IN A MINDSET OF NEVER BEING GOOD ENOUGH FOR GOD OR THE BLESSINGS YOU DESIRE.

Before you were "born and shaped in iniquity", you were, and are, a PERFECT idea in the mind of God.

Your assignment is not servitude, it's remembering that your maker, made you in their image.

👑 YOU are God's legacy. 👑
