Today, I am speaking with Tischa van de Reep about her journey of having a son with a diagnosed mental health disorder. She shared her challenges with getting the correct diagnosis for her son, what has helped her on this journey and the difference between being demon possession vs oppression.
Tischa is a Trinidad-born writer and speaker married to Harald, a Dutchman. They have two teen sons - Julian and Aidan. Tischa is a mental health and autism mom who brings authenticity and vulnerability in all her teachings on Scripture. She is also the founder of The Well Communicators, a collective of Christian women communicators and she hosts a monthly Bible study in The Woodlands, TX called The Branch Women’s Gathering. Her work in ministry extends from homeless women in Houston, to expat wives in Budapest, Hungary, to rural villagers in Malawi, Africa, and women across the US.You can connect with her at the following places:
