๐ŸŽ™๏ธ Unshaken Conversation: Carrie Bock: When Faith and OCD Collide

When your thoughts feel relentless, how do you hold onto faith without mistaking fear for the voice of God?

In this first Unshaken Conversation, Kristy sits down with licensed professional counselor Carrie Bock to talk honestly about OCD, scrupulosity, intrusive thoughts, shame, and what real help can look like for Christians who are suffering quietly.

You are not failing God because your mind is loud.
