Witness Wednesday #122 More PopWe Stories (Anxiety/Depression)Today's witnesses are from Matthew West's website called popwe.org. If you don't know who Matthew West is, he is a singer, songwriter, and storyteller. This website is for the non-profit that he has with his father, a pastor. Matthew and his father encourage people to share their stories. They have various categories of stories. Today, I chose three testimonies from the Anxiety/Depression Category. I know so many people who are struggling with anxiety and depression right now. Suicide seems like it is increasing as well. Often, we can hear our own story in someone else's story. When we listen to others tell their story, it helps us see that we are not alone. When we hear how God worked in their situation, it gives us hope that He will work in ours, too! I pray when you hear these testimonies, you get the faith and hope to believe that miracles can happen in your situation also. I pray you know that God is there with you, and if you invite Him into your anxiety and depression, He can help.Jenna: I grew up in a Christian family. We went to church every Sunday and Wednesday and were a part of almost everything; Awana, Elevate teen group, and even school there. Two and a half years ago, I lost someone who I was close to because she felt the need to commit suicide. I was heartbroken and I felt like I lost everything. 2022 was a challenging year for me. I had daily panic attacks and felt like I was worthless. My eating habits went down significantly, and I was stressed all the time. As exams neared, I was super stressed and ended up passing out.Months passed and I still felt worthless. I planned to commit suicide when I got a text from a friend, and it was like a text from God. She said she heard I was going to camp and hoped to see me there. I thought if I waited til after camp, and then committed suicide it would be okay. So I went to camp and it changed my life. I met so many new people and was able to share my hurt with my church and they told me that I was not alone. Camp was my blue couch moment as I sat there in service Thursday night, I realized that I needed God in my life more than ever. I had already been saved, but I realized I hadn't been living like Christ wanted me to.Around late February early March, my friend introduced me to someone…we immediately hit it off and became great friends. A month or two later, it was revealed that he liked me. We started dating in June and have been together ever since. I tell you that little story because sometimes when you need it most, God has someone in mind who will help you grow in faith and support you through it all. They can also help you overcome the hardships in your life.I still deal with anxiety and eating habits, but they have gotten so much better since camp and I am so thankful for all that my church has done for me. Also, I have my three closest friends with me right by my side and the Lord has blessed me with an amazing boyfriend who I love and who has helped me through a lot.GOD'S NOT DONE WITH YOU OR YOUR STORY! HE STILL CARES A LOT AND WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU. YOU HAVE A PURPOSE – TURN TO GOD TO FIND THAT PURPOSE AND YOU WILL BE FOUND.Brianna: From the age of 10, I was stuck with the label “child prodigy,” winning piano competitions, featured in local newspapers, and recognized as a passionate, fiery recitalist. Yet, even as a youth, I was severely depressed. I was insecure, seeking affection, and perpetually in pursuit of attaining “good enough.” Right before my 16th birthday, my world suddenly turned upside down. In an unexpected turn of events, I faced a close encounter with death, had my innocence taken, and watched helplessly as my mother's health began to rapidly fail. Too ashamed to ask for help and blaming myself for the situation, I despairingly turned to self-harm, eating disorders, and eventually, planned my own suicide. One day, I heard the song ‘Broken Pieces', and I found something onto which I could cling to – Truth, even when I could not feel it and it failed to make sense.Through involvement with an organization called Csehy Summer School of Music, I came to personally know Christ. For the first time in my life, I experienced peace, hope, and true joy. Dedicating my life to God, I went back home with a different perspective. My life was still intense – balancing high school and conservatory studies, living between home and the hospital, while being a full-time caretaker for my undiagnosed mother. By the grace of God, I managed to graduate as Salutatorian and get accepted into music school. However, shortly before college began, my mother passed away.I started my B.A. in piano at Charleston Southern University, using every spare moment to pour my heart out into the keys as a wordless prayer. Yet, a lingering pain in my right hand soon became constant. A few months after my mother's funeral, I was diagnosed with severe damage in my right hand, incited by the physical strains from being a caretaker. The only option left was surgery, followed by excruciating therapy, without guarantee of returning to the keys. My doctor strongly advised me to quit and choose a different career path. But I fought back.Over the next several years, I fought through recovery – from both surgical and emotional scars. I realized that though I had given my life to Christ, I hadn't fully “surrendered” it. In those precious years of undergrad, I experienced the freedom found in surrendering to the grace of God, the beauty of vulnerability, and the power of learning to fly again.Then, nearly four years to the day the doctor said it was over, I found myself sitting onstage, performing at Carnegie Hall. When I turned to the audience to see a standing ovation, I burst into tears, because I remembered the words, “With You I can attack a barrier, and with my God I can leap over a wall.”-Psalm 18:29Today, despite the formalities infused in classical music, I get to use the concert stage as a platform to share my story and encourage others to seek help and experience the peace of God. I perform and travel internationally as a soloist and chamber musician, frequently being sought after to premiere avant-garde piano works, and I am actively involved in youth and collegiate ministry. Although healing is an ongoing process, by the hand of God's work in my life, the label of “Victim” has been replaced with “Victorious,” “Hopeless” has been covered by “Confidence,” and what was “Impossible” is now a living, breathing, walking “Miracle.”Bubby: Hey, I just wanted to thank Matthew for his book, “Hello My Name Is” and for all he does for us! I've met him a handful of times and he is such an awesome child of God. On page 58, I believe, he talks about the story of the 11-year-old who asked for the hug and shared about his anxiety. It took me back to my childhood. I didn't come to faith until I was 14. A man!! (Lol. I thought…) But I can remember being 5-10 and suffering through anxiety and panic issues every night and throughout the day. I won't go into it, but it was messed up. Family life was messed up. When I read how this little boy thinking of God holding him when listening to Matt's song, it brought tears to my eyes. I'm 58 and still have memories of my childhood that can hurt if I dwell in them, but I very seldom do…only when things like reading or seeing or hearing someone else's experiences. I looked back at how God was there for me all along even though I was not His child yet. His love is so totally encompassing!! It fills every void in my soul. At 12 I was prescribed some medicine that helped, but it was addictive, and when my mom took me off them abruptly, I turned to drinking and drugging heavier then I had already started a year or so earlier. It was a long road I went through, but thank God, I will have 19 years of sobriety this month. My name is “Saved,” in so many ways.Thank you all for sharing your stories with the world. It can be hard to be vulnerable and talk about the hard things we have gone through.Yet when you are brave and do it even when its hard then we help others who are suffering know that it is ok for them to talk about it too! I am so grateful God saved each of you and thank you again for sharing your story! www.findingtruenorthcoaching.comCLICK HERE TO DONATECLICK HERE to sign up for Mentoring CLICK HERE to sign up for Daily "Word from the Lord" emailsCLICK HERE to sign up for free audio training about inviting Jesus into your daily lifeCLICK HERE to buy my book Total Trust in God's Safe Embrace

Your host, Nita, decided to try another solo episode based on her thoughts during her latest run along the Beaches area in Toronto. Nita shares her practice of acknowledging other runners and how that might translate into acknowledgement in healthcare settings. Notably, the #hellomynameis campaign launched by Dr. Kate Granger in 2013, shows us how designing patient focused healthcare experiences starts with introductions.

Hello My Name Is

David BenDavid, also known as DBD, is the founder and creative director of Sprayground, a streetwear line known for its art-inspired backpacks and coveted by celebrities like Kendall Jenner, Meg Thee Stallion, Paris Hilton, 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, and more. A native of the Bronx, New York, DBD attended a visual arts school in New York City, which helped him further refine his innate gift as a creative artist. After completing his studies, DBD applied for several jobs but faced constant rejection. He would later travel the world with only a backpack, which would result in him meeting a business partner that would help him create a multimillion-dollar brand, Sprayground in 2010. DBD's first backpack, “Hello My Name Is,” revolutionized the bag market and was pioneered as one of the first streetwear backpacks brands in the world. Over the past decade, Sprayground brand has expanded its product line to apparel, swimwear, travel bags, gaming chairs, and more. In addition to the brand's celebrity founding, Sprayground has also collaborated with brands like Formula 1, Universal Studios, NBA, MARVEL, The Colombian Army and Humanitarian Organizations, and more. Host Kirsten Holtz Naim sits down with DBD to discuss his early life in the Bronx, lessons learned as an entrepreneur, and the importance of leading with creativity.  Enjoy the episode?

There's a shortage of truth in the world today. Of course, the definition of truth seems to be up for grabs for some, but today we're talking about sincerity in action without pretense. Matthew West sings about this in his song "Truth Be Told." Jesus teaches about it in the Gospel of Matthew. Spend some time this week examining the words of Jesus with an open heart.

In this week’s message we meet Josiah.  Josiah became the king of Judah when he was just eight years old.  Before him, Judah had some kings who ‘did evil in the eyes of the Lord’ and the nation was suffering the consequence. Not only had everyday life become more difficult but the Lord promised to […]

This week we meet Jeremiah.  He’s one of the better-known names in the Bible but, surprisingly, few people know much about him.  He was called to be a prophet during the reign of a good king, Josiah.  But the messages the Lord gave him to preach were messages of judgment because Judah had strayed so […]

This week we meet Habakkuk.  He was a prophet in Jerusalem who ministered in the time leading up to the city’s destruction.  He was so distraught about how wickedness and injustice were rampant that he cried out to the Lord in is anger, pain, and confusion.  The dialogue between the prophet and the Lord forms […]

The next person we meet in this series is Ahaz.  Ahaz is one of the lesser-known people we’ll meet but he is still very important.  As the young king of the people of Judah, his leadership and, more importantly, his worship focus would be either very helpful or detrimental to his people.  Sadly, his worship […]

This week we’re introduced to Elisha, the Old Testament prophet who succeeded Elijah.  Elisha was a busy prophet in a tumultuous time.  His messages, miracles, and acts of mercy powerfully foreshadowed the ministry of Jesus.  Of all the things that characterized Elisha’s faith and ministry, the one that stands out most is his constant awareness […]

The next real person we meet in this series is Gideon.  The Lord used him in powerful ways to rescue His people and show His Glory, but that doesn’t mean that Gideon did everything right.  Gideon teaches us that we can ‘hide’ in either our fear or our pride, neither of which exhibit the kind […]

The next person we meet in this series is Joshua.  Joshua had seen it all, from the Israelite’s miraculous crossing of the Red Sea through the years of desert wandering.  He was chosen by God to replace Moses as the leader of the people and was tasked with leading them into the promised land.  So […]

This week we meet a woman named Rahab.  Rahab is the the definition of an ‘outsider’ from a biblical perspective but the Lord’s power knows no boundaries when it comes to gathering His people to Himself. Rahab teaches us some important lessons regarding our own walk of faith.  First, she teaches us that faith often […]

The Bible is full of real-life people who encountered God and responded to His power, work, and salvation.  The first real-life person we’ll meet in this series is Noah. Noah is one of the more famous names in the Bible because of his role in the story of the flood.  Since he lived so long […]

In our final week of HELLO MY NAME IS, Pastor Kevin preached about being a believer whose life is build upon the rock, God's word! There is power in the word that we need to tap into!

The 5-time Grammy nominee, Matthew West, is hitting the reset button! He has found himself in a brand new season of leadership to younger artists and producers and a flood of productivity after a self-described “desert season” that has finally come to an end. With a whole new attitude and new young producers, Matthew has crafted a fresh sound on his new album, Brand New, co-produced with 20-something producer/keyboardist A.J. Pruis. Along with a new podcast, there’s a new studio, and his brand new Story House Music record label with Provident Label Group If you’ve been a Matthew West fan in the past with songs like “Hello My Name Is,” “Do Something,” “Grace Wins,” “Mended,” and his early 2020 Covid-inspired hit single, “Take Heart,” you’ll love this up-close-and-personal interview with show host John Chisum. John digs into what’s most important to Matthew at this point in his long career and how he’s paying it forward by encouraging and mentoring a younger generation. Matthew shares candidly about the moment he realized that his story wasn’t as important, or as interesting, as the thousands of tragic stories his fans were sharing with him and how he’s turning the microphone around to the crowd more than ever through his ministry called “popwe nation.” You can find a lot more information at matthewwest.com and follow Matthew on all social media platforms.

Scenic and costume designer Deb Sivigny appeared on the Embracing Arlington Arts Talks podcast to talk about her industry. She walks us through the process for designing both a set and costume, as well as offers hints about devising each to perfection. Hear her views on projections as part of a set and how hierarchies of characters impact her designs. Deb also discusses the very personal play she wrote "Hello My Name Is..." which she specifically structured as design-centric or having the setting do the heavy lifting vs. the verbal. Truly an immersive theater experience!

Believe it or not, God gets jealous, and he's jealous FOR you! We conclude our "Hello, My Name Is" series amazed that God's very names spell out our salvation. Really. Check it out. It's pretty amazing.

Hey, Popeye! No matter how much spinach you eat, you'll never have enough strength to get through life. Pastor Matthew and Kyle walk us through more names of God, encouraging us to lean into God, who is our strength, our safety, and our peace! Tremendous.

God is near. Does that comfort you, or terrify you? Pastor Rodney Zedicher serves as our friendly cruise director, showing us the wonders of a transcendent, personal God who is intimately involved with his creation. Solid truth, and jarring insights. A must-listen!

Does it comfort you to know that you were not formed on an assembly line? Pastor Russ Robinson addressed the "creator" names of God, from the heavens and earth, to all that lies within, and finally to the pinnacle of all creation - man. God intentionally hand-crafted you with a great purpose in mind. Oh yeah. That is something worth celebrating!

EPISODE 132 JERRY ROYCE LIVE! 5.0 out of 5 stars A must read!, June 19, 2014Verified Purchase(What's this?)This review is from: Hello My Name Is... Forgiven (Kindle Edition)What I love is that Ms Balom really bears her soul as she shares her own story/ journey towards forgiveness. It is very honest and raw and I definitely think that her readers will connect as a result. Also, be prepared to WORK because the tips that she shares are very practical but also make you dig deeper. If you are ready and willing to do your work, this book will give you the tools to go there. am sharing my story in an effort to encourage and inspire someone else who may have walked or be walking a similar journey...When I first embarked upon the journey of starting my first business, Temple Body Fitness, I had a business partner and a lot of dreams. We had the common goal of helping people lose weight and live healthier lives. We struggled through the first few months building our clientele and our reputation. We grew through word of mouth from our satisfied clients. It was a great feeling, unlike any I had ever experienced before. I knew that I was doing what I was created to do, help people and make an impact on their lives. I was pursuing my degree, and had started my women's group Hadassah's Retreat. I was finding myself on my own personal spiritual journey and was beginning to feel as if my life was good and going in the direction I wanted... I was finding my purpose.At first it felt like I started down this spiral...I found out my partner was being "unprofessional" and having a personal relationship with a client.I dissolved the partnership & set out to rebuild my business.I was in two car accidents two weeks apart, neither one was my fault, go figure, lol!Then one day, it seemed as if my whole world began to crash, literally. Initially after the accidents I had the customary aches and pains but assumed that they would go away after a few weeks. I began seeing a chiropractor the week after the accident and thought that soon enough I would be back up and at it again, being the strong woman I was used to being.That was not been the case. After the first few weeks of treatment I was relieved of some of the pain, but that was short lived. My Chiropractor began questioning why I would experience relief for a few days and then spiral back into a pattern of pain. I experienced excruciating neck and back pain, indescribable migraines, intense aches in my joints, my ribs kept popping out of place, and numbness in my hands and feet just to list a few things. I kept trying to push forward thinking that I would be okay and it would go away after my body adjusted and bounced back from the trauma of the car accidents.Again, this was not the case. Instead of getting better I kept getting worse. By March 2006 I had an upset stomach all the time and migraines everyday. I started experiencing mood swings that I couldn’t explain. I had a hard time remembering things. I was lucky if I got four hours of sleep a night. The numbness and tingling in my hands and feet got worse. I started struggling with depression and anxiety. The joy of finding my purpose was gone, replaced by anger at what was happening..."Next thing I knew, they were picking me up of the floor"By June 2006 I was struggling to sit through classes for a few hours a day. By this point i had done an MRI that showed damage to my vertebrae in my neck and lower back and diagnosed me with Degenerative Disk Disease. Then, in August 24, 2006, my body crashed because it couldn’t take anymore.I went to class one day and everyone kept asking if I was okay because I was walking sideways and looked as if I were in pain. I kept saying yes, trying to keep up a good front. I thought after class was over I would go home, lie down and rest. Again, this was not the case. I was in the middle of a conversation with a fellow classmate when all of a sudden I felt as if I were in a tunnel. His voice started fading out and getting farther and farther away. I was looking at him but it seemed as if this black cloud was moving in front of my face and blocking out everything else.Next thing I knew, they were picking me up of the floor. I had collapsed and my entire body had begun to convulse. Because God is so awesome, a friend of mine at the time was a former Nurse, Fire Fighter/Paramedic and Army Medic and was able to help me during that situation. After about 45 minutes the spasms stopped and I thought wow I must really be tired and went home to lay down... I thought maybe I just needed a few days rest. This was on a Thursday so I figured Id just sit still that weekend and my body would find its balance. I thought by Monday Id be back in class and feeling better.LOL!!! How wrong I was?!By that Sunday night I was feeling even worse, and finally had to go to the emergency room that Monday. I had a constant headache, was having constant spasms and convulsions and my hands and feet kept going numb and I was starting to have nerve irritation. I had the unfortunate experience of being assigned to an ER doctor that had never seen a case like mine and he tried to convince me that I was crazy and needed to have a psych evaluation. I left the hospital feeling even worse mentally and physically than I had before I'd gotten there. All they had done was to tell me it might be a neurological problem and given me morphine to stop the constant spasms and ease the pain.Over the next few weeks I continued to get progressively worse: I had constant muscle spasms in my back, chest, neck and right arm (the longer they lasted, they spread to my whole body) Every time the barometric pressure (atmospheric pressure) changed I would get an excruciating migraine Frequent numbness and tingling sensations in my arm, hands, legs and feet Constant joint pain Extreme sensitivity to any sensory input (light, sound, touch, etc.) My nervous system was totally confused and there were times when I couldn’t go to sleep for 3-4 days at a time, then other days when I couldn’t stay awake Constant mood swings and panic/anxiety attacks

Matthew West's song, "Hello My Name Is", is the inspiration this week to spend some time in the Book of Ruth learning of a gal who changed her name from "pleasantness" to "bitter". We also can't excape the truth of 1 John 3:1, our memory verse this week, that reminds us of the name God gave us.

Pastor Bob brings part three in the series "Hello My Name Is" with a text about what it means to be chosen.

Dating would be so much easier if everyone would simply pick up a package of "Hello My Name Is..." stickers and add all the attributes their future exes need to know. Would it kill you to just let everyone know up front that you're a stalker, that you're clingy and smothering, that you like sex on the first date, that you have mother issues or crazy exes still in your life? If you give great orgasms...don't forget to add that helpful piece of info, too.
