Description

In today’s episode, we’re wrapping up our Personal Story Summer Series with Michael Kier, author of Waging War Against OCD: A Christian Approach. Michael shares his honest journey through scrupulosity, intrusive thoughts, and how grace—not striving—transformed his view of God and mental health. 


Episode Highlights:


What it’s like to live with scrupulosity (religious OCD) from childhood into adulthood

How to tell the difference between conviction from God and intrusive OCD thoughts

Why legalism, fear, and shame often get tangled with our view of God

How becoming a parent deepened Michael’s understanding of grace

What it really means to walk by faith—not fear-driven compulsions
