“God as your Parent”

Lay Care Ministry Training

Community Bible Church, San Antonio, TX

April 25, 2024

It is always a privilege to share what is on my mind and heart. This is the follow-up talk to my last one, God and Your Parents: Why Your Childhood Matters.” This time, I analyze how God models perfect parenting while he guides Moses to face his core beliefs. I also describe Exposure therapy, a therapy model used for phobias and fears, that God used to parent Moses. I hope to personalize God’s approach and attention to us.

Sometimes what society requires of us is... too much. Be more and do more mantras are taxing to our mind, body, and soul. The result is a cluttered, depersonalized, and chaotic mess. Enter "Marie Kondo." She revolutionized the concept of home organization. What if we apply that to our personal life and our mind life?

Instead of "what sparks joy," can I ask you: What grounds you? What brings you to the present? What gives you purpose and strength?

Only you can live your life... the way that you were meant to live. The world needs you to be you.

Love, Dr. Kim

Whether you acknowledge it or not, you are carrying mental health inheritance and debt from previous generations—habits, preferences, coping skills (or lack thereof). I have wise and insightful patients who say "My parents did that because of their upbringing. But I want to deal with mine so I don't pass it to my kids." Wow.

Dealing with your mental health debt takes sacrifice, effort, and uncomfortable periods... just like paying off financial debt does. But, boy, isn't freedom worth it? I hope this episode brings insights, perspective, and courage to deal with our mental health debt.

My first meeting with a financial advisor was an earthquake. I was stunned and discouraged at the consequences of my past/current choices. However, the numerical and clear goal provided comforting guidance for my future choices.

Now, I view myself as a mental health "retirement" advisor. I can look at your past and current habits and see if it is giving you the best "return on investment" for you. This "end goal" perspective of your life can guide you in your mental health journey. With this perspective, what would you change in your current habits or choices?

I am starting an easy-peasy short episode series called Mental Health Hacks! I use these insights or tips and suggest them to my patients. I hope you find them helpful!

Dump list is a great hack for people (like me) who can't keep the to-do list straight... and the brain reminds me ALL the time, EVERY time... especially when I lay down to sleep. When my body is not busy, my brain gets busy.

Our brain reminds us so we don't forget but we can forget more things because our brain is not present/doing things/processing things. Dump list is a great way to increase accountability and mental efficiency.
