ARBC had the privilege to host Steve Austin, speaker, author, writer, hope-inspirer from Alabama, come and speak about his story of suicide and grace. An amazing conversation about how churches need to look more like pysch wards. For more info go find his podcast @ Catching Your Breath
Steve Austin is a life coach and spiritual companion who believes everyone's story matters. He's passionate about an integrated approach to wholeness, including: mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness. As he says, he thinks anyone who wants a second chance should be met with messy grace. In short, Steve helps overwhelmed people find God at the intersection of faith and mental health. Why does he do this? As you'll find out in the episode, Steve, a former pastor, found himself overcome by the impact of repressed memories of a childhood trauma he never dealt with while simultaneously being overwhelmed by the pain others were bringing to him as a pastor and counselor. In a moment, alone in a hotel room, Steve decided he had had enough in life. What he went through from there is what brought him to his "here", which we talk about in a very powerful episode of the show. Key Points from the Episode with Steve Austin: Steve is a family man first and foremost, being a husband and father. His work today puts him at the intersection of Faith and Mental Health as a life coach, author, speaker, podcasters (called Catching Your Breath). It’s about connecting with people who feel overwhelmed and get past that. For Steve, he was a pastor who nearly died by suicide seven years ago, and got to know God much more closely through the journey to discover his true self after that. Steve grew up in the Southern Pentecostal Christian world, which was very charismatic and very much about being like “us”. If you struggle, it must be about spiritual weakness, so just pray harder. That meant for Steve, things he was struggling with weren’t things he could get professional help for. This meant he felt invisible and left alone in his pain. Those “things” include being sexually abused as a child, and his parents decided not to go to the authorities but rather to threaten the perpetrator. They figured Steve would not remember what happened because he was so young, and their threat would protect him from it happening again. And they were right for a long time - he didn’t remember until he had a flashback in high school during a field trip when he just broke down. Despite the flash back, the reason why he had it still wasn’t talked about and continued to be suppressed for the next dozen years until his suicide attempt at 29. He had other flashbacks along the way, including one when he was working at a 911 center in a support capacity where he had a panic attack. That lead him to get on medication for his panic disorder, which helped a bit, but not enough as he still wasn’t addressing the issue. At 29, he was alone in a hotel room, which was not a good situation for someone in depression. Being alone and withdrawn will make it worse, and it did. Steve believed the lie that he was a burden on his family, and that things would be better if he didn’t exist anymore. He woke up in an ICU after taking an overdose of pills. In the wake of that, therapy finally began, and he started to work on becoming a whole person. Steve learned how to tell the truth after that, and that vulnerability is not a sign of weakness. Worse than the depression or PTSD was the shame. Steve dealt with so many feelings of not being enough – not man enough, Christian enough, strong enough, etc. We get caught up in all of our labels, and pass judgment, but the truth is, we’re all human beings. We all suffer. We all have trouble. No one is immune to it, and no one needs to feel “less than” for going through it. We talked about the religious question of what happens to someone’s soul if they commit suicide. What Steve thinks is that we’re asking the wrong question. The person already is living in Hell, so it’s not about that. The question is what we do if we’re in the midst of these thoughts, and what we do for those in the midst of those thoughts. How can we be more open about it and therefore supportive. In the wake of his experience, Steve has stopped his full time work as a pastor, and instead works to help educate and foster people’s ability to connect to what they’ve been through and free themselves of shame. He puts out good questions about what we share and don’t, who are the friends who should be in our inner circle (and will call us out or raise concern about where we’re at), and being open to going to therapy. Vicarious trauma that hits many of us in helping professions (teachers, pastors, police officers, firemen, therapists, medical professionals, etc), we absorb the hurt of others, and should really be doing therapy work ourselves. Getting over the sense of having to be perfect and recognizing that we all need. And that’s ok.

While we cover some delicate ground in this episode, Steve Austin’s story of surviving suicide is one of hope. He doesn’t avoid the reality of what led him to attempt to take his life by suicide, but he also doesn’t hide the healing he has experienced in the years that followed. Steve Austin offers a story of hope for all who are looking for healing and wholeness in their lives. And he offers a picture of the kind of healing that I believe God wants for all creation to experience.THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:Steve Austin is a suicide survivor, as well as the author of Catching Your Breath and host of the Catching Your Breath podcast.Steve grew up in a very fundamentalist Christian culture.Steve is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse. His family thought he wouldn’t remember—which he didn’t until he was in high school.From the age of 17-29, Steve’s anxiety and depression got worse and worse.Steve hid his medication because he didn’t want his church thinking the pastor is taking “crazy pills.”At the age of 29, Steve attempted to take his life by suicide. He believed the lie that he was a burden to his wife, his child, his friends and family—and thought it would be a gift to remove himself from their lives.Mental illness and traumatic experiences exacerbate one another.After his suicide experience, Steve felt anger, grief, and fear of people knowing the truth.Steve eventually shared his full story with a trusted friend.Steve’s wife committed to staying with him. She said, “I don’t think the worst day of your life gets to define the rest of your life unless you let it.”Steve has become much more open to his own wounds and more open to the wounds of others.Steve says he is now certain that God loves him—and that’s about all he is certain of.Markus and Steve discuss the reality that the way to peace is through suffering.The reason Steve didn’t succumb to cynicism or deeper suffering is because he was loved.

Knowledge and a proper diagnosis important part of taking a positive, active approach to managing COPD NOVEMBER MARKS COPD AWARENESS MONTH Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD affects about 24 million people in the US, yet about half of those afflicted wait months and sometimes years before receiving a proper diagnosis. COPD is a disease of the lungs that includes chronic bronchitis, emphysema or both and is characterized by obstruction to airflow that interferes with normal breathing. COPD remains under-diagnosed, under-assessed and under-treated. It is a complex and progressive disease that can be discouraging for patients and physicians. Yet there are many things you can do to manage your condition and improve quality of life, such as regular physical activity, a positive approach, reducing flare-ups and working with your HCP to determine the treatment options right for you. No one knows this better than Sean Cummings, who was diagnosed with COPD nearly 5 years ago. Although he strives to get the most out of each day, since his diagnosis he admits to sometimes feeling discouraged about not being able to do everything he wants, but speaking with his physician about doing everything they can to help manage his condition has helped. Up to 80 percent of patients already have moderate to severe COPD when they are first diagnosed, and have already lost significant lung capacity. Thatâ??s why understanding the severity of the disease at the time of diagnosis is so important in order to receive proper treatment and effectively manage the disease. Sean Cummings and a COPD expert will be available to bring awareness and understanding of COPD to your audience, and outline ways to manage the often-challenging symptoms of COPD, both physically and mentally, and showcase that patients can take a positive, active approach to managing the disease INTERVIEW WITH: David Mannino. M.D. helped to launch the COPD Foundation after his retirement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2004, where he worked in the Air Pollution and Respiratory Health Branch. At the COPD he served as a board member from 2004 through 2015, chairman of the Medical and Scientific Advisory Committee from 2010 through 2015, and Chief Scientific Officer from 2015 to 2017. Dr. Mannino recently joined GlaxoSmithKline as a regional medical expert. Sean Cummings, COPD patient
