Deprogramming depression (anxiety, motivation, & the NEUROBIOLOGY of faith) 

Manifesto mentioned in the episode: ✔️ I will do the difficult things until they become easy. ✔️ I inject peace into things, I do not get peace from things. ✔️ I am only worthy through Jesus; I will wear humility always. ✔️ I was born to win and Jesus wants me to win; I will not live in fear. ✔️ I will never go 1 mile when I can go 2; never 50% when I could give 100%. ✔️ If people betray me that is their penalty to pay, no one can hurt me. ✔️ I will be fully grateful where I am, instead of wishing to be where I am not. ✔️ I will stand up for people who will not or cannot stand up for themselves. ✔️ I will rise to the occasion; growth will require me to rise above my comfort level. ✔️ I can prepare well, but only God can turn the power on ⚡️ ✔️ I will live in submission; flow is where the Spirit is. ✔️ I will share when I am weak and when I am strong; status is not a worthy virtue. ✔️ I will not reach the end until I die; to stop climbing is to die prematurely. ✔️ I refuse to get my confidence from temporary circumstance or feedback; shame at the bottom turns into corruption at the top. ✔️ I will smile when I have no reason to, encourage before I correct, rest when it feels like I cannot. ✔️ I will say thank you before I have the outcome I am asking for.

The first 43 seconds summarized every thought I’ve had about depression over the last six years. Especially the ones that came after prayers. 👍 👍

This is slowly becoming my new favorite podcast! Soooo good.

Thank you so much for speaking about the importance of music!! I (Victor's wife here) have used true worship music as "medication" for depression. And walking. Have you heard the worship of Nikos Politis (King of Kings)? He is Greek, so some of his worship is in Greek with subtitles, and some in English. The song that introduced me to his music (You're The Almighty God, done originally in Greek, but then released in English as well) was a song that he got downloaded in a dream where he met Jesus and heard angels of the heavenly host singing a song that was both worship and a call to war. He received instructions on how to replicate the music as closely as possible here on earth... and I will say that I found myself on my face before God, completely overwhelmed, turned into a shaking, blubbering mess. Then I listened to more of his music. The lyrics were very refreshing. It is some of the most humble, empowering, beautiful, God-glorifying music I have ever heard. I am so careful about the music I listen to. Even "Christian" music. If you haven't heard his stuff yet, I highly recommend! Keep being a voice for His kingdom!

This podcast is next level! I so needed it. I have dozens of podcasts I subscribe to and nothing compares to how deep this one goes. VERY refreshing for me.

Just wanted to give some thanks to you guys again these episodes truly help me get through my day. I listen while I’m at work and it really just makes the day go by so much better thank you guys for strengthening my relationship with God. Love you guys.

The timing of this vid is really good. Vid idea btw - How to ask god for help / advice /things

Another thing that helped me with my procrastination and feeling like I didn’t know what to do next was a quote that I heard from Nick Saban, Alabama‘s old football coach and it was simple. Just do the next right thing. You don’t have to focus way down the line just focus on the next step.

I immediately clicked on this episode. This season of life has been the toughest but I know God has a bigger plan. It’s not easy, but I can’t wait to see what God has planned.

Finally!!!! Found my people!!!! Very wise & intelligent wisdom. Really enjoyed this podcast. Hallelujah! Praise the Lord baby! You guys brought me so much joy that I greatly needed 💗 thank you 🎉❤

He talks about money, finances, spirituality and God first time listing to him he's good loving when he speaks on God and spirituality. 🤗

These videos have so much annoiting on them it's ashame... Man, I can binge watch every video... God bless you Taylor and Jake...

Love to see you guys blowing up. Well deserved, I feel the inflection point for this channel is coming very soon.

Wow this conversation was life changing. Thank you Taylor. Every single word was a blessing and transformative. God bless you.

It is funny god on my walk this morning just told me "My" anxiety... which is a problem with identifying with, but also it is mismanaging a gift of energy he has given me. Move more was his answer.

Interesting points. I take stimulants for adhd (myself and my 3 children are neurodivergent with an array of characteristics) and I’ve actually lowered dosage through the years and have been doing great. A couple years ago, I quit cold turkey because of pressure from other believers and it was THE WORST year. I’m back on it, it helps me but it does not provide motivation. When motivation fails me, I’ve learned to go with discipline because I know if I do things a certain way, I can succeed when my self created systems are in check. I’ve learned to do the things even when there’s ZERO motivation. My faith is my biggest motivation and striving to hear from God, and to kill the urges for vices like weed and alcohol.

What you said about transgenders and depression makes perfect sense. Alchemy teaches that you can't have perfect balance and harmony until you become both genders in one body. This goes against everything you're talking about. God made us the way He meant us to be. It doesn't make sense to tamper with that. Thanks for the video, Taylor! God bless!

That prayer at the end was SUPER powerful. Holy smokes. Thank you!!

Oh man, you just made my crappy work day good. Thanks Talyor and sir Jake.

Thanks guys, this was amazing. So much wisdom. Blessings to you both, praying for you

Taylor have you considered creating a business program that blends biblical personal development with integrative health tactics? This is my passion, so thoroughly enjoying these pods 👊🏻

1 thing that actually makes me feel a lottle happier is speaking life upon myself e.g i tell myself even in prayer "i am going to the nba" if its within Gods will ofcourse

Easily the most impactful ep yet 👏🏽🔥 That liquor tray mabboi 🏋️‍♂️

I found your podcast last week and binge watched almost every episode. I would love to see you talk with Cliffe Knetchtle or George Janko in the future.

Brother just gotta say like I say every video, thank you!!! Plus heard a Ruslan Colab coming soon 👀 STOCKED for that.

That's actually spot on thanks guys and God Bless

this is such a good one. thank you

The goat yessir paul was a boss

Fire as usual!

Man those passcodes are beautiful! Thanks that’s awesome

Ahhhh this is soooo good, first 40 seconds & boom , mind blown 😃

Taylor! Can you do an episode on public speaking? Fears doing it...? I have so many fears attached to it. Any practical and spiritual encouragement why it's good to do?

Yeah I'm good on cold plunges lol I. Already spent 4 years in winter living out of my vehicle. That's cold enough lol I enjoy the gym dry sauna,hot tubs and hot showers in that season 😊

Honest question what is your opinion and your guidance from the Holy Spirit on Gods stance of the Virgin Mary, the Catholic Church and saints? Also amazing video with Micah! I loved every second and feel like I was revealed somethings by the Holy Spirit being spoken to through you and Micah. God bless you all and Jesus loves you ✝️❤️

Since we are on the topic of the brain, I had the crazy holy spirit revelation a while ago. You dont have to read this long message if you dont want to, but I am telling you your brain will explode (average holy spirit epiphany). There is this portion of the brain called the anterior mid singulate cortex and its responible for the human will to live. If you do something that You DO NOT want to do (run 5 miles or clean your room), that the anterior mid singulate cortex grows in size, which then increases your will to live. It also works in the reverse way, so if you keep doing things that you love to do (eat junk food, not exercise) the anterior mid singulate cortex decreases in size, which then decreases your will to live. (this is where the holy spirit talked to me; felt like a USB of information was plugged into my head) Apply this thinking to sin. We all want to sin. Thats what its called temptation, we are tempted to do it. When you do not sin, you are doing something that YOU DONT WANT to do (because we want to sin). God designed us so that we are rewarded with an increased will to live when you DO NOT sin. God is so great. If you have made it this far good job, I love you. Ive said it before and i will say it again, this channel is going to grow HUGE. Love what you guys do. God bless.

Since music is such a big one, you need to teach people, including myself, which secular music is messing people up and which isnt. Because all secular cant be bad, unless im missing something. I listen to frank forrest "good day" and cant find anything wrong. But if im simply overlooking the bad then Id rather for you to point it out so i can correct it about myself and so i will be able to find it in the future.

Great show as usual, where's the Spotify music playlist?

Nothing wrong with living in a tent though 😅 I could be perfectly happy living In a tent.

That's what my hair looks like in the morning 🌄

You are so good at RU-vid x

Watching now 💪💰

Great podcast!

New subscriber😊. So thankful the holy Spirit led me here. Funny too 😂

Chris Tomlinson and MercyMe the album with Word of God speak on it. And the Chris Tomlinson album is the one that has the everlasting God on it.

AYO. This is gonna be nuts

Social media and the powers that be keeping people depressed

Please bring Aaron Abke on 🙏

If we are called to love what God loves and hate what he hates. Speaking the truth in love which can often be offensive to people (the truth being offensive) do you just ignore the truth? Potentially leading to a person not knowing the truth? Or what we see today, where many are deceived in the “modern church” by putting up with what God hates and creating a chasm between actual truth and the so called “my truth”. Paul I think speaks boldly to the truth irrespective of what man thinks of him. Not from a self-righteous stand point. From a standpoint of Obedience to what pleases God. Speaking truth in love.

Love the stuff that you talk about!! Definitely a lot of confirmation from things that I've dealt with in the past... Also as I'm watching this and I'm hearing you talk about different parts of our bodies that God designed makes me think of The Ruach wind of God we also have a ruach somewhere in our neck or head just thought that was very interesting

What about the RF/EMF radiation which is causing a lot of imbalances today hence the dramatic increase?

How do you feel about beta blockers? Back in college I had a few friends that took them for public speaking and it felt like they were gaining an edge... But the whole idea of it never sat right with me.

I get what you’re saying, but alcohol could be a stumbling block for a weaker Christian or a babe in Christ.

Taylor, how do we "Let Go" to stay free from tough seasons?

Evil is being exposed this week

Depression is a luxury and a result of avoiding responsibility.

Thank you for your input on these issues. I wonder if you know about psychological warfare and what the Bible says regarding it?

The Apple Podcasts posting isn’t playing audio. I may be the only person with this problem but I doubt it.

Got 1/3 through then got convicted for speaking w/o thinking. Lol. (Comment deleted).

You can’t cast out immaturity and you can’t disciple a demon

Paul wasn't bad, he was brainwashed in religion.

If you turn Evian upside down it spells naivE

Just a seeking man with art in my blood. we share the same dad, YAH 🤷‍♂️sooo….

What is that album? I would love to learn that, I have become really picky even looking at the place where the music is produced because of that impact.

Get Lovy Elias on your show!!! Check him out.

Theology is WEAK next to the word of God. WEAK. “Now if anyone does not stumble in the word BRIDLES THE WHOLE BODY. Always keep the word straight. THEOLOGY IS WEAK

Oooh if you have a revelation, it will offend the religious who dont have revelation.

I enjoy watching the random vehicles driving by in the background😂 🛻🛥🚜😂

40lb curls 😂

What you’re describing sounds like cognitive dissonance.

Dude, this content is great, but that haircut has to go 😂

Q: timestamp 1:35:00 onward, in a "deliverance service" should the minister be praying for a new identity to give to the person being delivered soo that it is an actual deliverance service?.. or maybe the person being delivered is praying for a new identity?..
