Daily Faith with Philip Cameron: Special Guest Pastor Kenza Haddock
Certified counselor and pastoral care specialist Kenza Haddock joins Philip Cameron to unpack the spiritual and clinical roots of anxiety, depression, and mood disorders — the three mental health crises she argues are quietly devastating the Church today. Kenza shares her remarkable personal story: raised Muslim, she reached a breaking point at age 23, convinced that God hated her and contemplating ending her life. A vivid dream of Jesus descending from heaven transformed her faith and ultimately redirected her entire career. Drawing on years of clinical practice, Kenza reveals a striking parallel between the top three psychological diagnoses plaguing America and the three spiritual enemies God warned about in Jeremiah 17:5. She traces Satan's predictable cycle — doubt, temptation, condemnation, and hiding from God — back to the original pattern in the Garden of Eden. "He places doubt," she explains. "Did God really say?" She also addresses three types of forgiveness that are often overlooked in pastoral care, including forgiving yourself and even voicing honest grievances to God. Her forthcoming book, The Three Enemies of Your Mental Health, offers both clinical and biblical prescriptions for getting to the root of these struggles rather than treating symptoms. Available October 1st, it can be found at mychristmasshop.com. To connect with Kenza directly, visit kenzahaddock.com.
What's Discussed

A former Muslim who came to faith in Christ after a dream of Jesus at age 23, Kenza connects these diagnoses to the three spiritual enemies outlined in Jeremiah 17:5. She maps Satan's cycle of doubt, temptation, condemnation, and isolation onto clinical patterns she observed across hundreds of patients. She also explores three types of forgiveness — forgiving others, forgiving yourself, and honestly voicing grievances toward God.
