About
Built by someone who has been there
Grace in Minds is a free place to understand OCD, anxiety and scrupulosity, read alongside Scripture, with clear routes to treatment that works.
Why it exists
Grace in Minds was created by Benjamin Murithi Ntongai, who has lived with OCD.
For many Christians, OCD and anxiety arrive tangled up with faith: fears about sin, salvation or prayer that won't let go, and a quiet worry that needing help means not trusting God enough. Good information exists, but it is often clinical, scattered, or silent about faith. Faith resources can be warm but sometimes miss how OCD actually works.
This site brings the two together: plain-language explanations of what is happening, honest encouragement from Scripture, and a clear path to evidence-based care such as exposure and response prevention (ERP).
From Scripture
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort; who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
What we believe
Faith and treatment work together
Seeking therapy or medication is not a lack of faith. Prayer is support alongside care, never a replacement for it.
Understanding comes before fixing
Knowing what OCD and anxiety are, and what they are not, takes away some of their power.
No pressure, ever
No streaks, no paywalls and no guilt. Everything here is free to read without an account.
Honesty over hype
No promises of healing, no fake numbers and no testimonials we can't stand behind.
How content is made
- Health guides are written in plain language and reviewed by a qualified clinician before they're published. Each shows who wrote it, who reviewed it and when.
- Until a guide is reviewed, its page says so and links to trusted organisations like the NHS, NIMH and the International OCD Foundation.
- Faith reflections are kept separate from medical information, and every Bible translation is credited.
What Grace in Minds is not
- Not a crisis service. If you're in danger, call your local emergency number or use Get help.
- Not therapy, diagnosis or medical advice.
- Not a registered charity, yet. We don't claim to be one.
