Healing Through Honest Faith :Moving beyond shame ,silence and Religious performance |jeff dalton

Sometimes…faith doesn’t disappear…it gets buried beneath…pain.shame.and the pressure to appear okay.What happens when the person you believe you’re supposed to be becomes harder to maintain than simply being honest about who you are?In this episode of Beyond the Mind, I’m joined by Jeff Dalton, author, poet, and speaker, for a deeply honest conversation about faith, mental health, healing, and finding your way back to an authentic relationship with Jesus.Jeff shares his personal journey through depression, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, suicidal episodes, church rejection, divorce, financial hardship, and a season when he questioned—and ultimately lost—his faith.Together, we explore the difference between religious performance and genuine connection with Jesus, the shame that can surround mental illness, and why struggling with your mental health doesn’t mean you have weak faith.We also talk about what it means to bring our brokenness into the light, how honest conversations with Jesus can transform the way we understand healing, and why sometimes the most powerful step in faith is simply being real.Whether you’ve struggled with your faith, battled shame or mental health challenges, felt rejected by religious communities, or simply wondered whether Jesus can meet you in the middle of your mess, this conversation offers a message of hope, honesty, and grace.Because…you don’t have to hide your brokenness to be worthy of healing.
