Mike Stone invites Dave R. to join us "Behind the Mike" to hear his personal story of identity and self-esteem. Looking back at his early years as a teen, he considered himself a "snowflake" child--one who was unique & special in an unhealthy way.

Dave talks about his life as a missionary in South Asia and how his return to the U.S. caused himself to reevaluate who he was and what his true identity was as a believer in Jesus.

In this episode, we have invited pastor & Biblical counselor, Dewey Harris to join us Behind the Mike.

Dewey offers hope to those who are struggling with depression through a biblical perspective. Having experienced anxiety and depression throughout his childhood, and with it all culminating in his college years, Dewey understands the struggles well.

Some of the references from Dewey in this podcast for help:

• Christian Counseling Education Foundation

Quote from Martin Luther:

“Feelings come and feelings go,
And feelings are deceiving;
My warrant is the Word of God--
Naught else is worth believing.

Though all my heart should feel condemned
For want of some sweet token,
There is One greater than my heart
Whose Word cannot be broken.

I'll trust in God's unchanging Word
Till soul and body sever,
For, though all things shall pass away,
HIS WORD SHALL STAND FOREVER!”

― Martin Luther

Psalm 42 reference from David:

1 As a deer pants for flowing streams,
    so pants my soul for you, O God.
2 My soul thirsts for God,
    for the living God.
When shall I come and appear before God?
3 My tears have been my food
    day and night,
while they say to me all the day long,
    “Where is your God?”
4 These things I remember,
    as I pour out my soul:
how I would go with the throng
    and lead them in procession to the house of God
with glad shouts and songs of praise,
    a multitude keeping festival.

5 Why are you cast down, O my soul,
    and why are you in turmoil within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
    my salvation 6 and my God.

My soul is cast down within me;
    therefore I remember you
from the land of Jordan and of Hermon,
    from Mount Mizar.
7 Deep calls to deep
    at the roar of your waterfalls;
all your breakers and your waves
    have gone over me.
8 By day the Lord commands his steadfast love,
    and at night his song is with me,
    a prayer to the God of my life.
9 I say to God, my rock:
    “Why have you forgotten me?
Why do I go mourning
    because of the oppression of the enemy?”
10 As with a deadly wound in my bones,
    my adversaries taunt me,
while they say to me all the day long,
    “Where is your God?”

11 Why are you cast down, O my soul,
    and why are you in turmoil within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
    my salvation and my God.
