Have you ever had to have a tough conversation with a loved one? Maybe it was about their physical health? Perhaps it was about their emotional or mental health.  Sometimes these conversations can be really difficult, so I am so thankful that Dr. Matthew Sleeth is back on the podcast, and he is going to talk about his book, *Hope Always: How to be a force for life in a culture of suicide. September is Suicide Prevention Month and each year on the podcast, I try to highlight one episode where I give ideas or tools or share about this subject that is just not talked a lot about, especially in the church.  So today, I am excited for you to hear from Matthew and just the practical tools he gives us on how to have these tough conversations, how to enter into the conversation as well as how to help them.  He is a medical doctor and worked in the emergency room for many years, so he brings a unique perspective. So again, I know this subject is hard to talk about, but I want to give voice to this because lives matter, and I want us to be a help to those that are struggling.

Today, Alan talks with Dr. Matthew Sleeth about his latest book, Hope Always: How to Be A Force for Life in a Culture of Suicide. It's a difficult but timely theme. We've been living through a season that has stretched many of us to what feel like our very limits.  By the way, this episode is airing at the end of September, which has been Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. It seemed to be a very good time to have this conversation about a reality that is just the opposite of God's great desire that we would live, and live abundantly and joyfully.  Dr. Matthew Sleeth is a former emergency room physician and chief of the hospital medical staff who resigned from his position to teach, preach, and write about faith and health. Dr. Sleeth has spoken at more than one thousand churches, campuses, and events, including serving as a monthly guest preacher at the Washington National Cathedral.

U know.. the fact that wombs are still bringing forth Garvey's, let's me KNOW that which we call God is real. The spirit of Garvey survived the transatlantic trade, the 400 years that followed, the most brutal form of abuse humanity has ever seen….and will continue to thrive in the eyes of our contemporaries. Those like chronixx. Those like Malcolm. Those like Ali. Those eyes like Bob's. And Miriam Makeba's .. The fact that black wombs Still bring forth Nanny's. Bogle's. Malcolm's. Ture's. Makeba's. Tubman's and Sankara's…reminds me of the reality of God. Those like Sebi still coming forth to heal. Cleo Sol still singing. Sade still calm. Farrakhan still on his deen. I know things seem bleak, but I'm THANKFUL for the light that withstands. Still filling our Mother's wombs. Rumi said if you've loved any of the prophets, than you've loved them all. Same light. So this is for that Eternal Light. Filling our prophets and our messengers. Our healers. Our singers. Our artist. Our freedom fighters. Our scientist and our historians. Long live that Light. Blessed Earth strong Garvey. We thank you. We love you. We see you..

In today’s conversation, Dr. Sleeth and I talk about his new book "Hope Always" that releases on May 4. So we’ll link it in the show notes, but go ahead and grab a copy of that, so you’ll have it on release day. In this book, Dr. Sleeth shares from the position of a physician and minister. He shares his personal and professional experiences with depression and suicide, challenging Christians to become part of the solution. With sound medical principles finding their rightful place beside timeless biblical wisdom, "Hope Always" offers practical and spiritual tools for individuals, families and churches to help loved ones who are stressed and struggling.

Josh, Jake, and Michelle talk about Monday’s interview with Nancy Sleeth of Blessed Earth. Their discussion includes how to lead when you have not yet gotten to where you are trying to lead your followers to, how to find ways to evaluate yourself as a leader, and how to lead people in contexts where they might not yet be prepared to go. They also talk about the values in life that make up a valuable life.

Nancy Sleeth is the managing director at Blessed Earth, a nonprofit focused on inspiring stewardship of all creation. After a spiritual and environmental conversion experience, Nancy and her family radically altered their footprint, reducing their electricity use to one-tenth and their fossil fuel use to one-third the national averages. Along with her husband, Matthew, Nancy now travels throughout the U.S. speaking and writing about faith and the environment. She is the author of "Go Green, Save Green: A Simple Guide to Saving Time, Money, and God's Green Earth" and "Almost Amish: One Woman's Quest for a Slower, Simpler, More Sustainable Life."

The Guys Like Us Podcast is joined with Dr. Matthew Sleeth who is a former ER Physician and Chief of Medical Staff and is now the Executive Director of Blessed Earth and the author of numerous books. Matthew graduated from high school, worked as a carpenter, and then found himself in medical school without an undergraduate degree! From a medical professional to now working at Blessed Earth with a mission inspiring faithful stewardship of all creation. We discuss his latest book, Reforesting Faith: What Trees Teach Us About the Nature of God and His Love for Us. He elaborates on the missing link between trees and people’s overlooking of their importance. Trees are always giving, and the same is true with God. The Bible confirms through an archeological investigation the sequence of events with fig and olive development, occurring before grains in the Middle East. We discuss the connection between nature and why it is necessary to let more light into our lives, allowing the beams to show their beauty. You can find Matthew and his book wherever books are sold and Matthew at blessedearth.org and matthewsleethmd.com

In this message, I talk about the importance of teaching others, especially our children, about God's command to care for and protect the Earth. This is the final message in the Blessed Earth series.

For forty years, Rick Hammond has raised cattle and crops on his wife's fifth-generation farm. But as he prepares to hand off the operation to his daughter Meghan and her husband Kyle, their entire way of life is under siege. Confronted by rising corporate ownership, encroaching pipelines, groundwater depletion, climate change, and shifting trade policies, small farmers are often caught in the middle and fighting just to preserve their way of life. Following the Hammonds from harvest to harvest, This Blessed Earth is both a history of American agriculture and a portrait of one family's struggle to hold on to their legacy.

Ted Genoways – award-winning author of The Chain (2014) – follows a family through a year in the life of their farm. Genoways catalogs the day-to-day struggles of the Hammond farm in a pivotal time frame: in 2014-2015, mild weather and heavy rainfall led to higher-than-expected yields, depressing crop prices and lowering profits, while encroaching pipelines, groundwater depletion, climate change, and shifting trade policies added to the threats facing the Hammond farm. Genoways demonstrates that family farms are far from an isolated refuge beyond the reach of global events; the family farm is increasingly at the crossroads of emerging technologies and international détente.

Ted Genoways spent a year following the day to day life of a farming family in Nebraska. What follows is a close up look at the risks and rewards of medium size farming in an Agri-business world. He shows the extraordinary breadth and depth of knowledge required to farm successfully, along with just the gut instinct and appetite for gambling that are an essential part of the equation.

He shows the extraordinary breadth and depth of knowledge required to farm successfully, along with just the gut instinct and appetite for gambling that are an essential part of the equation.

Ted Genoways – award-winning author of The Chain (2014) – follows a family through a year in the life of their farm. Genoways catalogs the day-to-day struggles of the Hammond farm in a pivotal time frame: in 2014-2015, mild weather and heavy rainfall led to higher-than-expected yields, depressing crop prices and lowering profits, while encroaching pipelines, groundwater depletion, climate change, and shifting trade policies added to the threats facing the Hammond farm. Genoways demonstrates that family farms are far from an isolated refuge beyond the reach of global events; the family farm is increasingly at the crossroads of emerging technologies and international détente.
