Toxic Positivity

from Lo-fi Faith · host Mike Dawson and James Mello

In this episode, Mike and James confront the often unspoken pressure in churches to be upbeat, positive, and happy under all circumstances—sometimes called "toxic positivity". They explore how this mindset can unintentionally silence genuine struggle, cause people to feel that their faith is lacking, and distort the way we relate to God and one another.
