Episode 42 | What Your Body Knows: Spiritual Gifts, Mental Health, and Somatic Wisdom

Is it the Holy Spirit, anxiety, or trauma? How do you tell the difference between spiritual discernment and hypervigilance? Between a word from God and intrusive thoughts? This week Christina tackles the question everyone's asking but few are answering honestly: how do we discern what our bodies are telling us when we're both biological beings AND spiritual beings? Drawing from her background as a mental health professional and EMDR practitioner, and sharing vulnerably from her own journey of needing BOTH spiritual healing and clinical support, she offers a both/and framework that honors the complexity of being human. No easy answers, no pat formulas - just practical tools for discernment, permission to be complex, and hope that God meets you in the mess.Topics: Somatic wisdom, spiritual gifts, mental health discernment, trauma and the body, EMDR, the Holy Spirit, anxiety vs. spiritual warfare, therapy and deliverance, body as temple
