On this episode of the podcast, I talk with Dr. Alan Noble about his new book, On Getting Out of Bed: The Burden and Gift of Living. Getting out of bed may seem like a simple thing to do, but for many who struggle with mental affliction, getting out of bed is an act of faith and defiance against despair, a testimony to that fact that life is worth facing. Among the topics we discuss:

• The difference between the categories of "mental suffering" and "mental illness" and why there might be a danger in over-relying on the category of mental illness

We hope that whether this is your testimony, or whether you walk with those who struggle to get out of bed, that you find this conversation helpful.
