Ever felt like you had it all but still felt empty inside? Dr. Ray Self knows that feeling all too well. Despite having everything money could buy, he struggled with a sense of illegitimacy and deep insecurity. In this episode of 'Strong Tower Mental Health' with Heidi Mortenson, Dr. Self opens up about his journey from losing everything to finding true fulfillment.

Now, as the head of the International College of Ministry and an author, Dr. Self discusses the concept of 'schemes'—plans against your life that can manifest as rejection, fear, anxiety, shame, and the feeling of illegitimacy. These schemes can make you question your worth and identity, making you feel like an orphan in your own life.

Through prayer and divine guidance, he believes anyone can break free from these destructive patterns. If you're looking for a story of redemption and practical advice on overcoming life's challenges, this episode is a must-listen.
