Greetings, congregation! So this week, i'll be attending my grandfather Popeye's funeral in south carolina so i didn't have time for an episode. BUT it fills me with joy to release this episode i did for the Dopey Patreon with Dave. We had a really good, hard conversation about mental health in long-term recovery, and then we answer some listener questions. Stay Strong Dopey Nation! churchandother...

Greetings Congregation! I hope all is well out there. So, in a perfect coincidence, Joey Svendson finally released an episode i did with him for Pastor With No Answers a few months ago. It was right around the time i got back on medication, and we talk all about mental health. Its interesting that he chose now to release it since i'm going through a mini-crisis of mental health currently. It's a g...
