This episode was recorded on a Monday in April 2022 while Gerina was in bed reflecting on a morning devotional. Join her as she applies the devotional to her life in her season of healing while she unpacks the lessons that can be drawn from it. We'd like to invite you to listen to a recent recording from Gerina as she reflects on where she is now over a year after this recording. She acknowledges that some of her stagnancy in growth was due to a lack of accountability (the group she referred to was disbanded a few months after the recording and distractions with the new year). She is back to doing the work and is glad there was also growth from this episode regarding response times and slight awareness.
This episode was recorded in April 2022; Gerina Jade' speaks about the idolatry of self-image, adultery, sinning against her conscience, and forgiveness.

Gerina Davis is back with part 2 of mental health and the intersection of spirituality. The beginning and end are regular recordings from 2021; however, the 11 minutes she speaks about narcissism were recorded in 2023 due to technical difficulties. Gerina attempts to encourage people to understand the harm the over-labeling of narcissists can do to people. She believes a person can be delivered from that condition if it is an extreme spirit of pride. Gerina is clear that this condition, in its moderate to a severe form, is VERY harmful. So she is not requesting that people that have encountered narcissists stay with them or to help them but instead pray for their deliverance and that they seek help from a therapist who is blessed with the skills and has experience with those with Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
