A cognitive distortion can be defined as a distorted thought or cognitive distortion is an exaggerated pattern of thought that’s not based on facts. It consequently leads you to view things more negatively than they really are.

All or Nothing – Ezekiel 18:25, 29
Justification – Luke 14:18-20
Center of the Universe – Matthew 6:33
Jumping to Conclusions – Matthew 7:1-2
Catastrophizing – Amos 6:3

74. Pain in the Presence of God

Caroline S. Cooper — Wed, 01 Apr 2026 15:52:22 -0400

Painful Pancreatitis

On March 12, 2026, I had a sudden onset of pancreatitis. This condition produced excruciating pain, greater than any other pain I’ve experienced. While I at first felt abandoned by the Lord, I knew his promise to never leave me nor forsake me. About halfway through my 6-day hospital stay, I began to experience the comfort of God as he presented four important lessons I could learn to help me persevere. In this podcast, I share my story and present the four ways God taught me to deal with pain. These lessons can be applied to physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and relational pain. I pray that God will use the lessons he taught me to draw you closer into his presence and prepare to face any pain that comes into your life.

64. A Bible Lesson on Encouragement

Caroline S. Cooper — Sun, 17 Aug 2025 09:34:36 -0400

Many years ago, when I begin considering serving the Lord as a Christian writer and speaker, he gave me a mission to focus my efforts. My full mission statement reads as follows: I will offer encouragement for life in a complicated world by inspiring people to choose hope, experience transformation, and recognize victory in our Lord, Jesus Christ. Today’s episode is in preparation for a new weekly blog and monthly newsletter titled Encouragement for Life. What else would I name it? My first attempt to offer encouragement and kickoff a mental health ministry, at God’s design, was in writing and publishing a workbook. In This Corner: Battling Depression from Inside the Ring was published in 2005. 20 YEARS AGO!! A couple of years ago I republished it as In This Corner: Battling Trauma and Mental Illness from Inside the Ring because trauma did play a big part in my mental health challenges. To celebrate my 20 years, I’m hosting a book club and creating a launch team to draw attention to this important workbook. Please join me! Just follow the link below.

62. Support Group Success

Caroline S. Cooper — Tue, 12 Aug 2025 09:26:49 -0400

This episode is a presentation that was given at a virtual workshop for the Faith+Mental Health conference in May 2025. Caroline has nearly 20 years of experience as a leader for a Christ-centered mental health support group where she emphasizes hope, transformation, and victory. This approach is based on the Spirit-led process God revealed to Caroline in reflecting on her own recovery journey. This unique perspective will challenge leaders of support groups, small groups, Sunday School classes, etc., to encourage their group members to choose hope in the midst of challenging situations, experience God’s transformation as they grow and heal, and recognize victory in their daily lives. The presentation will include definitions of key terms; how to incorporate hope, transformation, and victory in each meeting; tips for encouraging holistic transformation; sample scenarios that might occur in a group setting; and the use of a confidentiality covenant.

12. Mental Health in the Church

Caroline S. Cooper — Thu, 07 Aug 2025 11:11:39 -0400

What does the church think about mental health?

In this first episode of 2023, Caroline has a discussion with a long-time friend that addresses one of the main purposes of the Mental Health and Faith podcast — taking a closer look at mental health and the church. Their conversation includes the following topics:

How does the church address mental health? Or does it?
What is the difference between long-term mental illness and situational mental health conditions?
- Situational vs. clinical conditions from medicalnewstoday.com. “Situational depression occurs after life-altering events, but clinical or major depression has a range of causes and is a longer-term condition.”
- Definition of situational depression from verywellmind.com. “Situational depression involves symptoms of depression that are related to stress. It is not a recognized clinical disorder but is an informal term used to describe what may be more formally diagnosed as a type of adjustment disorder.”
- Information on situational conditions from Nami.org. “Situational stress can generate emotional or behavioral symptoms that look and feel very much like clinical depression. Depending on the degree of symptomatic discomfort, the treatment plan for situational or stress-related symptoms may be supportive or psychoeducational in nature and often includes the teaching of simple coping tools (find some below) that can help combat the impact of everyday stress. Remember that certain types of anxiety and sadness are often a normal response to difficult or overwhelming circumstances.”
What can the church to do meet the mental health needs and other needs of church members and the community?

Find Hope

In this first episode of a three-part series, Caroline introduces the Cycle of Recovery. In reflecting on her recovery journey, Caroline recognized the need to find hope, experience transformation, and recognize victory. Today, she shares her insights on recovery and hope.

For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. (Jeremiah 29:11, New Living Translation)

What is Recovery?

A definition of recovery from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) states that

“Recovery is a process of change through which people improve their health and wellness, live self-directed lives, and strive to reach their full potential.” (https://www.samhsa.gov/find-help/recovery)

Where can you find hope?

Caroline mentions three ways you can find hope:

By reading stories of hope in the Bible
By joining a support group or finding people in your life who have experienced similar struggles
By observing the world around you to see where Go is at work.

31. All Things New – New Life

Caroline S. Cooper — Thu, 07 Aug 2025 11:08:13 -0400

All Things New A New Life

What does having new life have to due with mental health? Our spiritual, physical, emotional, and mental health are all connected. It is my hope that as we explore the idea of having new life that we will experience hope, joy, and peace. When we experience these positive outlooks and feelings, our mental health improves. We’re able to cope with and respond to mental health challenges with patience and perseverance. Jesus Christ wants us to experience new life in a relationship with him!

32. All Things New – New Creation

Caroline S. Cooper — Thu, 07 Aug 2025 11:08:11 -0400

A New Creation

As we seek to grow in our spiritual lives, we have hope, joy, and peace. We will realize we God has a purpose for us in life. When we grow in our spiritual lives, we will improve our mental health as well.In the second episode on January’s “All Things New” series, Caroline teaches from two passages in two letters from Paul about how we become can become a New Creation. These are the only two verses in the whole of Scripture that uses the phrase “new creation.”

Galatians 6:15b – What counts is whether we have been transformed into a new creation.
2 Corinthians 5:17 – Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.i ch. 12:2; Rom. 16:7; Gal. 1:22

33. All Things New – New Covenant

Caroline S. Cooper — Thu, 07 Aug 2025 11:08:09 -0400

The New Covenant

When the people of Israel were rescued from slavery in Egypt by the Lord, He established a covenant with them that would be impossible to keep. In His perfect timing, God revealed the New Covenant to take its place. Caroline reads from Exodus, Jeremiah, and Luke in this episode comparing the first conditional covenant with the unconditional eternal covenant. Below is a 10-point comparison between the old and the new. Thanks be to Christ, our Lord!

Old Covenant (Exodus 19:1-7) New Covenant (Jeremiah 31:31-34) Established at specific time (Exodus 19:1). After leaving Egypt. To be established “on that day” – no specific time announced. (Jeremiah 31:31) Jesus’s death and resurrection established it. God’s instructions were contained in the “Book of the Covenant” – the Ten Commandments and other laws. (Exodus 20:1, 24:7) God’s instructions are written on our hearts. (Jeremiah 31:33) “Instructions” implies we are to follow God’s expectations, commands, and directions, but not in a legalistic sense. Conditional covenant: Israel agreed to obey. God promised to make them his people, a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation. (Exodus 19:5-6) Unconditional covenant: “I will be their God, they will be my people.” (Jeremiah 31:33) We participate in the covenant through faith and God’s grace. (Ephesians 3:6) The people were afraid to talk to God face-to-face. They relied on Moses. (Exodus 20:18) We can have a personal relationship with God. Jesus is our mediator. (Hebrews 9:15). We can come into God’s presence because of Jesus’ sacrifice on our behalf. The place of worship and sacrifice – the earthly tabernacle (Hebrews 9:1) Worship anywhere. Jesus entered the heavenly tabernacle. (Hebrews 9:11) Confirmation of covenant: Blood of animals spilled and sprinkled on altar and people (Exodus 24:6-8) Confirmation of new covenant: The bread and cup, representing Jesus’ body and blood. (Luke 22:20) Covenant required ongoing sacrifices. There were penalties for sin. (The Law; Hebrews 10:3, 11) Covenant based on a one-time, once-for-all sacrifice. (Hebrews 10:12). We are set free from the penalty for sin. (Hebrews 9:15) Special sacrifices in the Holy of Holies – behind the curtain. (Hebrews 9:3) Only the high priest could enter once a year. No sacrifices are required accept of ourselves. The curtain was torn when Jesus died. (Matthew 27:50-52) All who believe have access to God. (Ephesians 2:18) Symbols – The Ark of the Covenant: held the manna, staff, and the Ten Commandment tablets. Symbols of God’s covenant to Israel. (Hebrews 9:4) No earthly symbols needed. The Holy Spirit is our guarantee. (2 Corinthians 1:21-22) There is nothing wrong with symbols and sacraments, but they are not necessary to remind us of God’s covenant. Our sin required sacrifice. Our sin has been paid for by the blood of Christ. “And I will forgive their wickedness, and I will never again remember their sins.” (Jeremiah 31:34)

34. New Heavens and New Earth

Caroline S. Cooper — Thu, 07 Aug 2025 11:08:06 -0400

New Heavens and a New Earth

The fourth and final episode in the All Things New series looks at three passages in Scripture — the only three passages — that use the phrase “new heavens and new earth.”

Isaiah 65:17-19

God speaks to his people through the prophet Isaiah to give them a glimmer of hope in the midst of being judged by God for disobedience. He promises to create a new heavens and a new earth, a place where he will dwell with his people, a place without mourning or tears.

Revelation 21:1-7

The apostle, John, sees a vision in which Jesus gives him a glimpse into heaven. John sees the new heavens and new earth that Isaiah wrote about, The new Jerusalem is coming down from heaven where God will be with his children. A place without weeping or pain.

2 Peter 3:8-13

Peter refers to God’s promise of a new heaven and new earth (from Isaiah’s prophecy) as something we look forward to. We are to wait patiently for Christ’s return, knowing that God does not want anyone to perish. While we wait, we are to tell others about Jesus!

The All Things New series based on a Bible study written by Caroline S. Cooper. It explores ways we are made new in our Christian faith. The series includes the following episodes:

Episode 31 – New Life – January 10, 2024
