We can live in the power of Christ right now, which brings us joy...scientific evidence that the power of God changes people.
Ever wondered how faith intersects with mental health? In this episode of 'The Addiction Connection Podcast', hosts Dr. Mark E. Shaw, CJ McMurry, and Jim Quigley are joined by Pastor Steve Ham and Dr. Daniel Berger to explore this profound question. They delve into the concept of human frailty and how our weaknesses can actually be a source of strength when viewed through the lens of faith.
Pastor Ham shares insights on living in the power of Christ, emphasizing that it's not about our own strength but about relying on a higher power. Dr. Berger discusses the difference between secular and biblical understandings of mental struggles, pointing out that what the world calls 'delusion', the Bible refers to as 'madness'. The conversation also touches on the foolishness of idolatry and the dangers of placing anything above God. Dr.
Shaw brings in a powerful reflection from Isaiah 44, reminding listeners of our desperate need for a Savior amidst our fragile human nature. If you're grappling with mental health issues or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a compassionate and faith-filled perspective that might just be the comfort you need.
