Get Unstuck From Fear

Can Thoughts Be Evil or Sinful? (Subscribers, Get the New e-book FREE NOW!)

Posted in Anxiety, CBT, Christian, Exposure Therapy, OCD

One of the most common questions I get from Christians concerning intrusive thoughts in OCD and Anxiety Disorders is along the lines of

“Is this thought sinful just for having it?”

“What if these thoughts mean something?”

“Are the  thoughts real?”

“Is God trying to tell me something?”

After someone recently requested my thoughts on the topic, it was time for me to write and publish a full guide.

Subscribers to my newsletter will receive the FULL pdf ebook, completely free in their inbox on Easter Sunday, 4/17/2022.  Not a subscriber?  Join the “Christian” list at any time and get it emailed to you.  Otherwise, enjoy the upcoming 3 part series (a new one weekly) on this topic.  I hope it helps you or a loved one.
