The month of May is Mental Health Awareness month. I don’t normally talk exclusively about mental illness on this podcast, but I am taking the entire month of May to specifically address this topic.
Not only are people suffering and dying, but unnecessary division is being caused in our church communities against those that are struggling.
There is much harm being caused from stigma, a lack of knowledge, a judgmental, pious spirit, and passed down beliefs that have no scientific backing.
There is also a lack of knowledge amongst those suffering. When we don’t know the power and promises of the word of God, we become victims to our minds and thoughts, remaining powerless over them.
I don’t claim that the word of God will erase mental illness, but I have proved in my own battle with bipolar and suicidal depression that including scripture in the battle for the mind is of paramount importance, and for me, was life-saving.
This month as we discuss mental illness, I will discuss stigma, counseling, medication, suicide, and so much more.
I am open to your feedback or questions! Email me at jennifer@jenniferskaw.com
I am not a mental health professional, but I am a suicide attempt survivor and speak from first-hand experience of living with a mental illness called Bipolar Type II. If you are having an emergency, please call 988 or the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-8255.

Have you ever felt your day was uneventful with nothing really happening in the spiritual realm?
Maybe you felt nothing was accomplished, you didn’t grow, or God seemed quiet and distant.
Thankfully, scripture tells us that even on the most mundane of days, God does behind-the-scenes miracles on a constant basis, and is always making our day spectacular!
Even if you spent your whole day sick in bed, God was doing a plethora of beautiful things for you!
In this episode, I give you lots of scripture promises.
Plus, in a very hodge-podge way, I share how God has been working in the past 10 days. Maybe my blessings can bless you too! I hope so!
The blog post where all these promises for a mundane day can be found is below.

The devil wants us to believe that we have to wait for circumstances to change before we can experience joy, peace, abundant life, and happiness.
Praise the Lord that is not the case!
In this episode we look at trails through the lens of
- Motive
- Faith
- Renewing the Mind
- Prayer Time
- Bible Time
- God Becoming Enough
Abundant life in Christ is not dependent on circumstances, so no need to wait. It is just one thought and one choice away!

There is a subtle but powerful lie the devil is telling us that
tremendously limits our impact for Christ.
This lie keeps us full of enough fear to prevent us from taking action,
thus preventing God from demonstrating His power in us and through us.
If I said, “I prayed and asked God to teach me patience,”
what would most people say in response?
“Oh you are really asking for it now!”
“You have no idea what you have done!”
“That was foolish!”
But why are we responding this way?
Why is there such opposition and negativity
towards praying such a prayer?
The devil wants us to believe that if we ask God a bold prayer such as
teaching us patience then
1) We are on our own and
2) The process will be a horrible ordeal.
Well, let’s kick his lies to the curb and view this kind of bold prayer from God’s perspective!

The power of positive thinking alone, from a bird’s eye view, is scriptural. It is part of renewing the mind. Thinking positive thoughts and choosing to see the good in circumstances aligns with scripture.
But, gaining peace by thinking positive things alone, without the correct motive, anchor, or compass of the word of God can lead to error and get us out of alignment with Christ. We aren’t just to focus on good, happy things but on the eternal, living God. “For in him we live, and move, and have our being.” Acts 17:28a
In this episode, we look at traps we can fall into if we are simply thinking positively without anchoring our purpose for those positive thoughts in the word of God.

“We are not loving ourselves because of who we are, but Whose we are and who we are in Him!”
There is so much we need to add to our last discussion on self-love (Episode 21) to make sure we are staying in alignment with scripture. We want to be sure we are not applying this truth in a worldly way because then it will be mixed with error.
In this episode, I clarify what loving ourselves is not, and bring in scriptures that help us get a clearer picture of how to apply self-compassion into our lives.
I also address the bondage of staying in condemnation and living with a cast-down spirit.
We are not trapped in a sin we have committed. We have provision through Christ to acknowledge, repent, and receive forgiveness for our daily sin. We then get to move immediately back into abundant life with the Savior.
When we struggle to recover in our spirit for a sin we have committed, we can stay out of the despair of our sin by yes, acknowledging our sin, but then focusing on the provision instead of the failure. Focusing on God’s power, instead of our weakness.
I end this episode with the song Via Dolorosa and an Easter reminder to include into your life the provisions God offers us as a result of Christ's death, burial, and resurrection.
This episode has the potential to help you get unstuck in many ways!

Has a big trial entered your life and you feel like everything is now standing still?
Is there something you are waiting for and life feels stuck until it arrives?
Feeling stuck, trapped, or paralyzed by circumstances is not where God wants us to live.
Have you considered that the trial or what you are waiting for is not a roadblock, but is actually part of the journey and that you don't have to wait for it to be over to move forward?
Our trials can flow along the highway of life with us rather than keeping everything at a standstill.
It all has to do with perspective.
In the midst of trials or in the midst of waiting, we still have life in us and around us. We don't want to miss it!

Music and Ministries
Hello!
I'm Jennifer Skaw.
I am a mama with four kids, ages 20-27, and a wife of 27 years.
I am also a singer, Bible teacher, and an advocate for God's Word and its power to change lives!
In 2013, after a lifelong battle with depression, I was diagnosed with Bipolar Type II. God has used this hardship to show me how powerful His Word is to transform lives and bring us into deep genuine fellowship with Him.
God’s Word has become my every answer. I have a passion to pass on what God has taught me so that every woman feels equipped to live their best life for Christ. Living the Bible in an abundant, joyful way is what I write, teach, and sing about.
