Oh thank you for clipping this from the live. And the flip side of our ADHD is that we neurodiverse peeps have a lot of creative insight and big emotions we can use to make beautiful things and really share our hearts with the world in a healthy way. In practicing slowing down we can actually hone and express these gifts more fully. The practice of slowing down is an art that in itself can be slow 😅 but I think it’s worth learning.
Hi Mark. I do have ADD and medication is working well. I still struggle with accepting and dealing with working days with a worse attention span. You might call this part "anxiety": the crippling feeling of knowing you must do your task but not being able to do just that one thing! I have to say I don't recognize any of the trauma/neglect parts of your story. I realize that's a blessing 🙏
Thank you Mark. This really made me think and it is sad. My son has ADHD, right now has completely stopped speaking to me. Looong story. I blame myself partially. He had a rough upbringing. It is hard. I think this is partly due to a couple phone calls in one week. They were hours long. We email, rarely call bc he just won't hang up. But a lot was going on with his sister and niece and it was just too much for him to bear. Please pray. It's been some months now. Thank you
Mark I am so glad you made this video. This is an answered prayer I've lamented over day and night is what is the root of my ADHD? Everything really does boil down to Love and nurture, slowing it down. God bless you for your ministry once again for helping give me revelation
I have not found this level of insight connecting ADHD, Anxiety and faith anywhere. Love idea of nurture & grace. Please consider devoting more time to this topic including how perfectionism and shame fit in, feeding Anxiety. Thank you for including Adults. It’s not just kids.
Please do some more content on this subject! I definitely struggle with this, and you are right, the anxiety from neglect and lack of nurture is something! The shame and anxiety of forgetting things is difficult to manage as well- and how do I see myself and this condition in the light of God's love is one of my big questions. (In the moments I get angry with myself for forgetting things, AGAIN, how does God see me? I can't comfort myself by "fixing myself" because, ya know, supposedly a lifelong thing to be met with acceptance. So many opinions on this all over the map around the Christian community- I don't really know what to think lol but I pray for guidance!
And right when i discovered that i have ADHD and i’ve talked to God about it, your video about ADHD pops out, confirming what i thought. Thank God and thank you Mark💪🏽💪🏽
Absolutely 💯 giving kids ADHD medication so early in life is scary, especially the way the classroom and school system is setup. The brain doesn’t fully develop until 25 or so. Me on the other hand at 34 ADHD medication has done wonders for me. I wasn’t diagnosed until 2 years ago. My doctor told me that OCD can overcompensate for ADHD. I also knew my brain worked differently and now I know some of the why. God bless you and thank you for what you do my brother from another mother! I heard a priest once tell the congregation “Practice being bored.”
Thank you for talking about this! Doing my best to make videos on how to do Bible study as a Christian with ADHD- without medication being a prerequisite. Hopefully it can help even people who don't have ADHD, since just like you talked about there are other things (like anxiety) that can seem like ADHD.
Good afternoon Mark.I just subscribed to this channel. I havent seen this kind of discipling since I was first saved in the 80s. Its rare and much needed. Thank you! Have you ever done a video on "taking an offense" vs having ones feelings hurt? Is there a difference? There seems to be a thought process that says we as "mature " christians should be dead to self and not have anything bother us in the form ofan offense or hurt feelings.What is your take on this scripture as it applies to mental health? Thanks
Thank you for this. So helpful to get the insight on my son's ADHD. I can admit that both myself and my husband are immature parents in many ways and I am working on that. But with the damage done to my son, is there any resources on how to somehow do what we can as a parent to try and minimise some of the damage, considering that my aon is only 16 and not sure how much awareness for him is too much while he is trying to navigate a challengin time in his life. I am stuck with having the insight of what my own faults are and the impact it had on my son but not knowing what to do with the insights to help him. Hoping you can share more resources/ info/ books that can be helpful to know the way forward. He is struggling with the responsibilities of growing up and higer demands of school. And even though the trauma is my fault both by my own actions or the choices I made about the marital relationship I chose, I don't know how to harnass that to help my son at 16. Quite a distressing position to be in wanting to help your child, but not knowing how. Thank you
So your saying the Gen W would be the generation before you. Gen WW1&2. Where scarcity of food clothes and money was constantly a thing. Hmmmmm❤ anyone around 60+ years of age then.
Last year i actually discovered trough test that i have ADHD and thank Jesus! Because all makes sence to me why my brain works diffrently!
Very interesting. I was diagnosed with adhd at age 53. I am clinical psychologists by profession.
I lovv the idea of "Nothingness".

Hi, what meds are you on? Im considering it
Do not use medication. Do it naturally. Side effects are terrible
Thank you Mark. This really made me think and it is sad.

Much needed video. We do live in a very busy society for sure.
So so good!!!! Thank you Mark!!! Yes, God's grace and nurture in the process of being still.
Thank you sir for connecting the dots with valid points!!

Yeah, I'm really glad he makes all of his videos too. All of the content and I mean all of the journey content.❤

Yeah, i was going to send you a question on adhd on its connection to my Ocd healing journey. Can you please do more on this subject of adhd/ocd.❤

Neurofeedback and biofeedback is a natural way that fixes ADHD!

I struggle to just have peace and quiet in my brain. Being told to just focus more and stop being lazy.
I surrender my anxiety to Jesus.
Interesting. I'm in that category.
Can you talk about autism as well at some point?
