Faith, Healing, and the Hijacked Conscience - Debra Peck
Tuesday Nov 07, 2023
Tuesday Nov 07, 2023
Join us in a heartfelt dialogue with author Debra Peck, who shares her personal battle with Religious Scrupulosity—a lesser-known facet of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder that often goes unnoticed within religious circles. Debra's eye-opening journey to self-discovery and healing has led her to pen "The Hijacked Conscience: An Informed and Compassionate Response to Religious Scrupulosity," written for anyone entrenched in faith, particularly leaders and pastors who may unknowingly exacerbate this hidden struggle.
In this episode, Debra sheds light on how Religious Scrupulosity can transform faith from a liberating force to an oppressive weight, and how her book aims to lift that burden, offering solace and understanding. Whether you're a devout believer, a church leader, or someone navigating the complexities of faith and mental health, Debra's story is a beacon of hope and a call for a more informed and empathetic approach to spirituality. Tune in for an enlightening discussion that could change the way you view faith, freedom, and the path to joy. Listen now to uncover the hidden threads between devotion and disorder.

On this Episode of GraceStory Podcast Amber takes over for a conversation with Dr. Lyon. Dr. Lyon's lived wisdom is a deep well that could never be completely tapped; and, her humble authenticity keeps her approachable. For those unfamiliar with Dr. Jo Anne Lyon, her history is one of deep dedication, pioneer work on many fronts, and a testament to a life transformed by the infilling of the Holy Spirit when we are committed to living out His presence. Dr. Lyon is a mom to four, has served on both national and international human crisis forums and initiatives, was the first female district superintendent of The Wesleyan Church – serving for 8 years. She has a heart of compassion that is demonstrated in the practical ways she serves, leads, and impacts the kingdom globally. Dr Lyon has a heart for today’s emerging leaders. In this conversation with GraceStory Founder, Amber Jones, Dr. Lyon says that it is foundational that our starting point as leaders in the faith community is to be based wholly on being filled with the Holy Spirit. From there, we understand that God trusts us with a mission unique to each of us. That it is such a beautiful, humble honor to represent Him. Dr. Lyon said, “He calls us into difficult places because He trusts me, he trusts you…to be able to move into these areas.”
