Defined by Jesus - A Story of Struggling with Mental Illness:: Aimee Caverly :: [Episode 314]

Studies show there has been a rise in mental illness over the past few years, with one out of every four adults reporting experiences with the disease. However, as today’s storyteller reminds us, there is HOPE!   Aimee Caverly, from our community group in Raleigh, North Carolina, vulnerably shares her story of battling mental illness for most of her adult life.  From extreme anxiety, fear, and paranoia to delusional visions, intense lies from the enemy, and multiple trips to the psychiatric hospital, Aimee is raw about the suffering she faced as she was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder. It wasn’t until she accepted her diagnosis and turned to the Lord that she found healing, purpose, and hope, knowing God can bring light into the darkest of places.   IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:   - It is imperative to have God’s Word infused in your life because “self” creeps towards the negative. - When you don’t claim your true identity, you claim the lies of the enemy. - Following Jesus is a lifelong process of God making us more like Him.    Do you need help with mental illness, or do you struggle with suicidal thoughts?   Wellspring Christian Clinic  Suicide Hotline   “The Truth”  by Megan Woods   Listen to a similar story:  Jenny Strickland- Ep. 290:  “God’s Healing in A Story of Mental Illness.” Give to StoryTellers Live in honor of our past storytellers and the 4th annual Stories of Hope Luncheon!   Become a Patreon Insider to access bonus content!   Shop for our When God Shows Up Bible Study series, including the newly released Discovering God in Stories of Faith!   Register for the local workshop being offered on April 9th in Birmingham: Finding God in the Details: A Guide to Discerning His Voice and Discovering Your Story
