In this episode Dr. O. Alan Noble, an author and Associate Professor of English at Oklahoma Baptist University, joins the podcast to have a conversation around the real challenges faced by Christians journeying through mental affliction and why it's worth persevering through such suffering. He unpacks the question "Why get out of bed when facing suffering of various kinds?" and talks into the burden and gift of living.
We also talk about cultural Christianity is disrupting people's personal relationship with Jesus. Following Jesus means taking up our cross daily, embracing hardship and suffering, and relying on God's grace and power to transform us.
