"The lockdown ... it feeds into pornography, loneliness, depression and mental health," McDowell recently told "The Pure Flix Podcast," noting that stress, isolation and fear of the unknown are all issues that are increasingly intensifying amid the COVID19 crisis.

I want to look at just a few of these common beliefs associated with emotional distress and offer an integrative perspective that may help us to advance both the gospel and emotional wellness.

"We know we’re not supposed to have these thoughts, so we don’t tell."

"The reality is, you wouldn’t dare say that someone who died of cancer is going to hell just because of their illness, would you?"

"If all you did today was hold yourself together, that’s okay."

"I refuse to pass in legacy of burnout, overwhelmed feelings, and inadequacies to my daughter. I also refuse to raise a son who thinks that women are invincible."

Now your friends just know that you are human. You didn't stop being strong. You didn't stop being capable. You aren't going to be an outcast. You are going to open a dialogue that needs to exist between us as mothers.

"Don’t stop fighting the battle has already won.. fight for what you love and who you love don’t let fear and anxiety win."
