In this episode we talk about the stigma behind mental illness. We dive into way we can help each other understand all the sides to mental illness. Humility with empathy is a must for starting this conversation. This won't be the last time we talk about this subject.

Extended show about blame and responsibility.

In episode #2 we talk about anxiety and the Wesleyan Quadrilateral as reason, tradition, experience, and Scripture are helpful in making decisions with faith and mental illness. Where do we pull inspiration in the bible for anxiety and how does it vary from worry. We have a good God that wants to provide, and will provide for us.    

In this episode we talk about the defining moments of when depression and anxiety entered my life. At the age of 21 I received my first diagnosis. Bi-Polar was what the doctor's said I had. Here I am 12 years later still working through it and making this podcast to inspire and give hope. You can live with mental illness and you are going to be okay.
