Episode description

Do you realize many of the commands of the Bible are not just for our spiritual well-being but also our physical?

In this week's episode, I talk with Ben Courson.  Ben is an international speaker, bestselling author, TV and radio personality and the senior pastor of Applegate Christian Fellowship.  Ben travels the globe speaking of God’s hope and igniting revival in the hearts of his listeners.  His newest book Flirting with Darkness is about building hope in the face of depression.

In this episode we discuss:

  • Why it's important to move out of our comfort zone
  • Why stepping out in faith leads us to the promises of God
  • What the Bible meant by "running the race"
  • How trauma can push us into discernment
  • Own your oddness and follow your heart in pursuing God
  • Depression is not weakness
  • Two extremes of depression
  • Triggers for depression and how to reframe those triggers
  • Neurological and spiritual benefits to prayer
  • Prayer as breathing the name of God
  • Why it's important to find a tribe
  • How to help someone struggling in depression
