How can you begin to heal if you don’t know what’s truly broken?
This week on Designed 4 More, we dive deepinto a topic that affects millions but is rarely talked about with clarity: the importance of an accurate diagnosis—mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Whether it’s a clinical condition, emotional trauma, or spiritual confusion, the labels we’re given (or adopt ourselves) can shape our identity, our path to healing, and our relationship with God.
An incorrect diagnosis can lead to years of ineffective treatment, emotional frustration, and even spiritual stagnation. But an accurate diagnosis? It can open the door to true healing.
In this powerful and eye-opening conversation, we explore what makes a diagnosis “accurate,” why so many people get misdiagnosed, and how both science and Scripture call us to understand our condition more deeply—so we can be restored more fully.
✅ Why accurate diagnosis is the foundation for successful treatment and recovery
✅ The dangers of labeling people by symptoms instead of seeking root causes
✅ How trauma, miscommunication, and assumptions often lead to misdiagnosis
✅ The spiritual consequences of attaching identity to a diagnosis
✅ How to embrace diagnosis as a tool for healing, not a life sentence
✅ The difference between truth-based treatment and symptom-based treatment
✅ How to navigate changing or evolving diagnoses over time
✅ A biblical framework for seeing yourself as more than a diagnosis
✅ Why faith and science both emphasize identity and clarity in healing
✅ Tips for advocating for yourself or loved ones when seeking help
🎙️You’ll hear from Christian mental health professionals and faith leaders who help us understand how accurate diagnosis—both medically and spiritually—can transform lives.
Whether you’ve experienced a misdiagnosis, struggled to find clarity in your mental or spiritual journey, or simply want to better support others—this episode will equip you with insight, hope, and a deeper understanding of the healing process.
