Description

For most of my life, I've dealt with major depression and what I learned early on in my church upbringing is that it was all my fault. I wasn't praying enough, fasting enough, trusting God enough... and that type of belief lead to a life of increased anxiety, a misconception of who God is and a very poor self-image. While there is a component of mental health that is spiritual, it is not the result of a lack of faith. In this episode, we talk about some of the toxic beliefs, both Bri and I were raised in, regarding mental illness and how God has revealed Himself to us as our ever present help in the time of trouble.  Brianna (Bri) Campos, LPC,  is a licensed mental health counselor based in New Jersey. As a body image educator and the founder of Body Image With Bri, she’s passionate about all-things body image and practices through the lenses of Health at Every Size® and Intuitive Eating. Utilizing a weight-inclusive approach, she combines her clinical skills and lived experience to teach others how to maneuver through their own unique body image journeys.  Follow her on Instagram: @bodyimagewithbri and visit her online.

Growing up in church, I was taught what a successful Christian is supposed to look like. As I grew, I started to see how much I’ve failed at being that ideal image and I’m surprised that I met God, time and time again, in the most ugly, sinful and debase places. According to the standard I was raised with, I am a failed Christian. “The Failed Christian,” is a podcast that is intended to demonstrate the power of God’s grace, forgiveness and mercy, offered to everyone, without restraint. This podcast explores off-colored topics, typically shunned by the church, in order to demonstrate that God is with us, even in our pain, wrong-doing and humanity. We will explore topics and hear stories, in an honest and respectful way, about people who have made some f*cked-up decisions and fell into grace. www.thefailedchristian.com
