Episode Synopsis

Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a one-time prayer, a single podcast episode, or a magic piece of advice that could wipe away OCD, depression, PTSD, or ADHD? For years, host Andy Choate searched for that quick fix—only to discover that it doesn’t exist.In this episode of From Guilt to Grace, Andy shares his own struggle with searching for instant solutions and how that mindset actually delayed his healing. Through Scripture and lived experience, he reframes recovery as a journey, not a sprint.In this episode:Why looking for “quick fixes” can keep us stuck in cycles of guilt and shameThe importance of setting realistic expectations in mental health and faithHow Psalm 23 offers comfort when progress feels slow or nonexistentWhy healing isn’t about erasing the illness, but learning how it doesn’t control youEncouragement to see setbacks as part of the road, not proof of failureIf you’ve ever felt like you’ll never get better because you’re still struggling, this episode is a reminder: one bad day doesn’t erase your journey. God walks with you through valleys as well as mountaintops, and step by step, His grace sustains you.“Healing may not mean the illness is gone, but it does mean it doesn’t have to control you.”From Guilt to Grace is a Christian mental health podcast offering spiritual encouragement, not professional therapy.
