Welcome to Jesus and Your Mental Health Season 3! In this episode, we take a “zoom out” to define mental health biblically—examining personhood as heart, soul, mind, and strength—and discuss the ways that stress, Sabbath, and faith shape resilience.

Even with the challenges presented by this cultural moment of constant screens, it is possible to live a full and healthy life. As we work to incorporate daily Scripture reading and prayer, bodily movement, relational connection, personal reflection, journaling, and other practices, we find God's grace and wisdom poured out as he has provided us these ways to live according to his design.

Rebecca Maxwell talks with OCD clinicians Dr. Cyndee Stevens and Tiffany Wood as they explain scrupulosity and how faith practices can be supported without fueling OCD. You will hear practical tips for starting treatment and find out about key resources and group options for getting help. ERP is a proven method to build tolerance to uncertainty, reduce OCD’s power, and help people live according to their values.

In this episode Rebecca Maxwell welcomes Dr. Cyndee Stevens and Tiffany Wood to explain what obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) looks like, how it differs from normal anxiety or perfectionism, and why it is often underdiagnosed. They describe the OCD loop—intrusive thoughts, anxiety, and compulsive responses—and give real examples of common compulsions and reassurance-seeking behaviors.

From a Christian perspective they discuss how OCD thought patterns can be mistaken for spiritual discernment, how it impacts identity and daily life, and why reassurance can unintentionally feed the cycle. The episode ends with hope: an introduction to evidence-based treatment (ERP), resources for support, and encouragement that recovery is possible.
