When your mind is filled with anxiety, doubts, and distorted memories, it’s easy to feel trapped in the endless loop of “What if I got it wrong?” In this episode, host Andy Choate shares his personal struggle with scrupulosity and how journaling became a powerful tool in breaking free from the spiral of rumination.Drawing from Revelation 1:19, where Jesus tells John to “write the things which you have seen”, Andy reminds us of the importance of recording our thoughts, prayers, and experiences as a way of grounding ourselves in truth. Writing things down not only helps remove distortions caused by anxious memory but also gives us a way to look back and see how God has been at work in our lives—even in seasons we once thought He was absent.In this episode:How journaling can help Christians battling OCD, anxiety, or depressionThe difference between distorted memory and written truthPractical tips for starting your own journaling habit without turning it into a compulsionUsing Scripture in your journaling to combat lies with God’s promisesWhy your written words can become a testimony of God’s faithfulness over timeWhether it’s a diary entry about your day, a written prayer, or a verse that speaks truth over your fear, journaling can be a lifeline in your healing journey.“When you write it down, you leave less room for anxiety to rewrite the story.”From Guilt to Grace is a Christian mental health podcast offering spiritual encouragement, not professional therapy.
