- Ep. 8 (part 1) - Depression in Athletes w/ Matt Hannon
MARCH MADNESS is here. Have you filled out a bracket? If you're listening to this podcast, it's probably too late. Anyways, we have another special guest on the podcast today. Matt Hannon, a long-time friend of mine, joins me to talk about mental health in athletes. In part 1 of this episode, we get to learn a little about Matt, why he is pursuing an athletic trainer degree, his experience with depression, and his heart for athletes who struggle behind closed doors with the same things he has. We talk about some of the stigmas that athletes with depression may face, and why it is so hard for most of us to see why an athlete—a human like the rest of us—could even struggle with this. I had a lot of fun recording this episode. It was super informative for me, and I hope it will be for you!

34 min - Ep. 6 - The Myth of 'Have More Faith'
Have you ever had someone say to you during a trial: "oh, just have more faith!" or "just pray more" or "let go and let God"? What do these phrases truly tell us about our understanding of suffering in the Christian life? In this episode, we continue our series on depression by exploring what true, biblical faith is. Even in our darkest seasons, true faith is not a feeling or a call to move on quickly from our grief, but rather to meet God with that grief and wrestle with His promises.

34 min - Ep. 4 - New Year, Same World
How should we approach the New Year as Christians? Where is our true hope? The reality is, it may be a new year, but the world is still the same as it has always been since the Fall. Our hope is not in a New Year, because its the same world. Rather, its a New Year, but we trust in the same God.

17 min - Advent 2021 - He Knows Your Darkness
What does Christmas have to do with your mental health?
Well, in Christian tradition, Christmas celebrates the Advent of Christ. What is Advent? It's the Coming of Jesus Christ into this world. He is the light in the darkness. This is truly good news for those who deal with depression, anxiety, or any effects of living in a fallen world. What is the Christian hope? It is knowing that our God has come to dwell in our darkness—and He has overcome it.
