Podcasts about Numb

A suicide bomber walked into a crowded local event in rural Afghanistan, and Harry Moffitt's small medical team spent the day treating the dead and dying. By the afternoon his unit sat in near silence, exhausted and numb. Moffitt, who spent close to three decades in Australia's Special Air Service, reached for the one thing he carried on every deployment for exactly this reason. What happened next, in the middle of one of the worst days of his career, became one of the most effective group resets his unit ever experienced, and he says he has never seen anything else do the same job.

Send me a messageMost of us spend our lives replaying the painful parts and calling it realism. That habit is a large part of why so many of us feel numb — and this is how the feeling comes back.Four of my books, free — link below.A photographer can walk into a junkyard and come out with something people pay real money to hang on a wall. A photograph of a broken-down car. The beauty was already there. The eye was the thing that had to be trained. We can all train that eye.Most of us live in our worries, our fears, our stress, our traumatic past. It is equally natural and equally true to spend that time on the good memories, the pleasures, the people we are grateful for. The word ignorance is the right one, because we are ignoring more than half of what is happening.There is no wisdom in overthinking what already happened or what might. There is only wisdom in what we do with this moment.Numbness isn't the absence of sensation. It's the loss of the ability to notice subtlety. When we stop feeling the small things, we start needing the extreme ones — and that is where craving, adrenaline and addiction begin.We are present for the first bite of a meal, maybe the second, and then we stop tasting. The same is true of a sunset, a cup of tea, a conversation. When we stay with the whole experience instead of a slice of it, we stop needing more of it. That is what equanimity means — a steady peace that doesn't depend on which sensation shows up next.And when we hold a magnifying glass over our worries and never over our blessings, our view of our own life becomes distorted. We end up making negative propaganda about ourselves.We are the camera. What we point it at is a choice, and it can be changed at any moment.CHAPTERS0:00 The photographer in the junkyard0:22 Why we live in the painful part0:58 The other half we never visit2:05 Ignorance means ignoring2:55 We lose presence to pleasure too4:05 What numbness actually is4:33 Why we start needing the extreme5:00 Savoring every bite6:36 The magnifying glass8:56 We are the camera operator9:40 Negative propaganda about ourselves10:37 In pain there is pleasure11:19 Nothing outside us holds the meaning13:18 Equanimity, the steady kind of happiness15:13 Why unhappiness spikes with inequality18:28 What kind of movie do you want to live inPlease enjoy other episodes where I share meditation techniques, tips and spiritual lessons from around the world for peaceful and stress-free living.

We're back with a brand new series, and I'm so excited to share it. In each episode, we're unpacking the 5 nervous system states, uncovering why you're in each state, exploring the thoughts, feelings, and behaviours associated with each state, and educating you on the separation between your personality and your nervous system. Today we're diving into dorsal shutdown. If this resonates, leave a comment below! 

Trauma doesn't always look the way people expect. Sometimes it shows up as anxiety, depression, emotional numbness or unhealthy coping strategies instead. In the Episode, Dr Marianne Trent explores why we avoid emotional pain, how trauma affects the brain, and why therapies such as EMDR can help you reconnect with yourself and move towards healing. #Trauma #EMDR #MentalHealth

Panic Attack Relief — Calm the Numb, Shaky Aftermath | 10 Minute Guided Meditation for Anxiety Panic attack relief for the moment nobody talks about — the aftermath. The attack itself has passed, but the body still feels numb, the hands are tingling, the legs are unsteady, and the mind is already asking the frightening question: will I ever get over these? This ten minute guided meditation is for exactly that moment. Hosted by clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin Hewlett, this session uses slow out-breath focus and a gentle winter's-morning visualisation — watching your breath leave as small white clouds, then watching the grey mist of fear and dark thoughts drift away on the breeze — to settle a nervous system that is still running hot. There is no need to fight the feeling. You simply breathe, and let the panic evaporate from the surface of the skin. Whether you are looking for panic attack help, anxiety relief, breathwork for a racing heart, or a daily guided meditation to steady you before sleep, take these ten minutes now and regain control, composure and calm. ⏱️ Time Chapters * 00:00 – The moment after a panic attack — numb body, tingling hands* 00:22 – Welcome, and why this one is personal* 00:44 – Diary note: Anchored launches Thursday the 13th* 01:07 – Settling in — the almost hypnotic rhythm of the breath* 01:50 – The pause between breaths, and letting the panic evaporate* 02:59 – Deepening — muscle fibres loosening, sinking down, safe and secure* 03:34 – Visualisation: seeing your breath on a cold winter's morning* 03:51 – Breathing out the dark grey mist of fear and anxiety* 04:47 – Preparing for today's affirmations* 05:28 – Affirmations, first pass* 06:54 – Affirmations, second pass* 08:13 – Three daily caring tips* 09:05 – Gently returning — fingers, toes, a stretch, and open your eyes* 09:30 – Closing thoughts and the Anchored launch* 10:37 – In everything, be kind 

The story continues as we return to the streets of Park-Hill with two powerful chapters from The Tale of the Park-Hill Crew: Volume 3.In Chapter 3: "Numb Don't Mean Healed," we explore the emotional weight of trauma and loss. Just because the pain goes quiet doesn't mean it's gone. Some wounds become part of who we are, and the toughest battles are often the ones nobody can see.Then in Chapter 4: "Pressure from Every Angle," the pressure begins to close in. Family, loyalty, the streets, and impossible choices all collide as the Park-Hill Crew faces challenges that test every relationship and every decision. When life comes at you from every direction, something has to give.If you're enjoying the journey through Volume 3, be sure to follow the podcast, leave a rating, and share the episode with someone who loves authentic urban fiction.

Stoicism is meant to help you master your emotions. There's a version of it that just teaches you to avoid them.In this conversation I joined Erick Cloward on the Stoic Coffee Break to talk about "stoic bypassing" (Jules Evans' term): using the philosophy to suppress hard feelings instead of feeling them. We both grew up learning to push emotions down, so it got personal.We cover the difference between suppression and reappraisal, alexithymia, why the Let Them Theory is thinner than it looks, how the manosphere funnels every emotion through anger, the case for voluntary discomfort, and a reframe from Epictetus that means you can never lose a first date.This first aired on Erick's show, the Stoic Coffee Break.

Thanks for helping to spread the welcome and to warm ourselves up a little for this morning! You might need it

What do you do when you know you need God's Word but don't feel like opening your Bible through the battle of TTC? This episode offers biblical encouragement and practical habits to help you reconnect with God, even in spiritually dry seasons.

Why do you keep turning to food when you're stressed… even when you know it's not what you actually need?In this episode, I dive into the real connection between emotional eating, stress, and the way we've learned to cope with discomfort, and why it's not about food or lack of discipline.If you find yourself turning to food to escape stress, overwhelm, or difficult emotions, and you're ready to understand what's really driving that pattern so you can begin to change it, this episode is for you.The Real Reason You Cope the Way You DoEvery single person copes differently.Some turn to food.Some to alcohol, shopping, scrolling, overworking…But underneath it all is the same unconscious driver:A belief that emotions are unsafe.When stress, fear, or discomfort arises, your nervous system can interpret it as something harmful — something you need to escape quickly. And the fastest way out?A dopamine hit.Dopamine, Patterns & “Addiction” ReframedWhat we often label as “addiction” isn't our identity.It's not a lack of willpower.It's simply a pattern that's been reinforced over time.A loop:Feel discomfortSeek reliefGet a quick rewardRepeatAnd over time, that loop becomes automatic.Food is just one option — but the pattern can show up everywhere:OvereatingOverspendingOverdrinkingOverworkingSame mechanism. Different outlet.The Unconscious Beliefs Running the ShowThe key word here is:Unconscious.These are the beliefs you're not actively thinking about, but they're driving your behavior:“Stress is harmful.”“I can't handle this feeling.”“If I sit in this, something bad will happen.”And because these beliefs live beneath awareness, they feel like truth.Your Patterns Are CluesIf you want to understand your relationship with food…You have to look beyond food.Questions you can ask:Where else do I avoid discomfort?Where do I shut down, distract, or escape?What patterns repeat across my life?Because:How you do anything is how you do everything.Why This Started (And Why It's Not Random)Most emotional coping patterns don't start in adulthood.They start in childhood.When:Emotions didn't feel safe to expressYou were told to “toughen up”You didn't receive support to regulate how you feltYou experienced stress or discomfort without guidanceAs a child, emotional pain can feel like physical pain. So your system learned to protect your the only way it knew how:Disconnect. Escape. Numb.Awareness Is the First ShiftYou don't need to fix everything overnight.You don't need to control your behavior.You need to start noticing.Because once you become aware…You can't become unaware.Ownership Without BlameOwning your patterns isn't about blaming yourself.It's about saying:“I'm choosing this because I'm trying to avoid something.”And that shift creates:AwarenessCuriosityCompassionPossibilityDownload my free guide, Calm the Craving: 7 Steps to Break Emotional and Binge Eating, and finally end the cycle of out-of-control eating: www.sherryshaban.comWork With Sherry Shaban:Book your FREE 30-minute Food Freedom Call and start your journey to lasting change! www.sherryshabanfitness.com/clarityListen & SubscribeCatch more episodes at www.makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube so you never miss an episode!Connect & Go DeeperJoin our Facebook Community: www.myfoodfreedomlifestyle.comWork with Sherry: www.sherryshaban.com/transformExplore more resources: www.makepeacewithfood.comShare Your TakeawayTag us on Instagram (@makepeacewithfoodofficial), Facebook (@MakePeaceWithFoodOfficial), TikTok (@sherryshaban), or LinkedIn (sherryshaban) and share your biggest insight from this episode!

I canceled my birthday party a few days before it happened. Everybody was invited. The childcare was booked. And I called the whole thing off. Not because anything went wrong. Because I asked myself four questions, and by the time I got through them, I understood something about my life that had nothing to do with karaoke. This episode is those four questions. They're the ones that quietly decide whether your life gets bigger or smaller, and not just on your birthday. On basically every choice you make. In this episode: The four questions to run before you cancel, quit, or bail on anything. Why "everybody already knows, oh well" is how most of us end up on autopilot. The difference between a choice that expands your life and one that contracts it, and why the thing you tell yourself is self-care is so often the opposite. Numb is not better. It's just quieter. How to tell restoration from avoidance before you have the morning-after proof. Why the guest list you're honest about is a compass, not a verdict on whether you're loved. The question almost nobody asks: what's under-constructed in my life that's showing up as this hollow feeling? This is the work we do inside DEFENSE. Not more discipline, not a better plan, but building the defense that holds in the moment before the choice, so you stop negotiating against the woman you could be. The DEFENSE waitlist is open now: elizabethbenton.com/defense-app/

Numbness now seems to be the emotional default for so many of us — the result of living in a deranged reverse panopticon, where everything bad happening everywhere in the world (plus the fever dreams of robots) is beamed directly into your eyeballs all day long by our pitiless overlords. Jay joins poet, journalist and author Mark Abley to talk about confronting and escaping the brain-mushing machine (and Mark's new book, Numb: The Politics of Overwhelm).

On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Hongjoong of ATEEZ. Back in 2021, Hongjoong — one of the various members in ATEEZ — transformed Linkin Park's “Numb” into a K-pop hit, even getting a shoutout from Mike Shinoda. Since then, the group have only continued to explode, growing their international fanbase, selling out tours, and landing on the Billboard 200 with the release of their 13th EP, Golden Hour: Part 4. In conversation with Madden, Hongjoong opens up about the realities of life as a K-pop artist, the self-starting mindset that helped him break into the industry, and Korea's growing cultural influence around the world. ------- Listen to their Artist Friendly conversation on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ------- Follow Artist Friendly!

Why do we turn to food, alcohol, shopping, or even busyness when life feels overwhelming? In this episode, Chip and Leanne dive into the real reason we numb—what we’re actually trying to escape or avoid—and how society conditions us to suppress rather than process emotions. They break down the neuroscience behind coping mechanisms, revealing why they provide short-term relief but lead to long-term suffering. If you’ve ever wondered why breaking free from old habits feels impossible, this episode will give you the clarity you need to start shifting your patterns.

If you've ever felt like life is just "blah," or if you've found yourself napping just to escape the day, I want you to know I've been exactly where you are.Five and a half years ago I was a board-certified ER physician with a successful career  and a brain that kept telling me to disappear. This is what changed.In this 7-minute Podcast I share the parts of my own depression I had almost forgotten. The music in Target that made my mood drop. The naps I took to escape my life. The hopelessness I felt waking up in the dark. The suicidal ideation that came close to ending the family I love and the work I get to do.I also share what I learned as a physician who became a brain health expert by accident. Why the chemical imbalance theory of depression has less evidence than I was taught in medical school. What chronic stress actually does to the brain's structure. And why neuroplasticity  not just receptors  is where healing happens.

The mental and emotional weight of trying to conceive doesn't disappear once you're pregnant, or once the baby arrives. For many women, it quietly shapes everything that comes after.Sometimes the hardest part isn't the fertility treatment itself. It's carrying the aftermath of it into motherhood without anyone acknowledging that you went through something significant to get there.In this episode of The Science of Motherhood, Dr Renee White sits down with Dr Edna Lekgabe, certified perinatal and reproductive psychiatrist practising in Melbourne, to explore the mental health dimensions of the trying to conceive journey. They cover the difference between normal anxiety and clinical anxiety, how IVF trauma shows up in the body long after treatment ends, and why perinatal mental health challenges are never a personal failing.This is the final episode of the six-part Trying to Conceive series on The Science of Motherhood.In this episode, you'll hear about:Why what you're feeling is a nervous system response, not a character flawHow to recognise when anxiety has moved from visitor to renovationWhat IVF trauma looks like in the body and why it often goes unidentifiedHow medication decisions are made with a risk-versus-risk frameworkWhy reaching out early makes a differenceYour mental health through this journey is part of the journey. It deserves the same attention as everything else. There is support available, and you deserve to use it.If this resonates, share it with someone who needs to hear it.

Still showing up but feeling numb inside? Jesus is inviting you to stretch out what has withered.

In the manifestation world, we're often told that neutrality is the goal. But there's a problem: neutrality and numbness can look almost identical on the surface.Both can feel like a lack of emotion. Both can feel like you're no longer triggered. Both can feel like you've "let it go."But they're not the same thing.True neutrality comes after you've processed the emotions, beliefs, and resistance underneath an issue. Numbness, on the other hand, is often what happens when those emotions are still there but have been suppressed, avoided, or disconnected from.In this episode, I'm breaking down the difference between neutrality and numbness, why so many people mistake one for the other, and how that mistake can keep you stuck in manifestation work.Money Moves: 30 Day EFT Tapping Program to clear money blockshttps://victoriadambrozio.mykajabi.com/money-moves-sales-page

FINDING GOD PODCAST — SHOW NOTESEpisode: When Prayer Feels Hard — How to Pray When You're Hurt, Angry, or NumbEpisode SummaryIn this deeply honest episode of the Finding God Podcast, Keana speaks to the believer who wants to pray but feels stuck — the one who is hurting, angry, numb, or spiritually exhausted. Prayer can feel impossible in seasons of pain, but Scripture shows us that God meets us gently in those moments. This episode explores why prayer becomes difficult, how trauma and emotional overwhelm affect our ability to connect with God, and how to approach prayer with honesty instead of pressure.✨ Recap of Last Week's EpisodeKeana revisits last week's conversation, What God's Voice Sounds Like When You're Healing, reminding listeners that God's voice is gentle, patient, and compassionate. Healing helps us separate God's voice from fear, shame, or past wounds — a foundation that prepares us for today's discussion on praying through pain.✨ What We Cover in This Episode1. Why Prayer Feels Hard in Painful SeasonsHow emotional overwhelm and survival mode affect prayerWhy numbness is a protective response, not spiritual failureHow anger toward God creates shame and avoidanceInsights from psychologists like Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, Dr. Diane Langberg, and Dr. Julie Gottman2. Biblical Examples of People Who Struggled to PrayDavid's honest laments (Psalms 13, 22, 42)Hannah's wordless prayer in bitterness of soulElijah's exhaustion and despair in 1 Kings 19Job's raw questions and emotional honestyJesus' agony in Gethsemane3. What to Do When You Can't PrayPraying honestly instead of perfectlyUsing breath, silence, and stillness as prayerBorrowing prayers from Scripture, worship, or written prayersPraying small, simple, one‑sentence prayersAllowing God to come to you instead of striving4. Bible Verses for Hard SeasonsPsalm 34:18Romans 8:26Psalm 13Psalm 42:5Matthew 11:281 Peter 5:75. Practical Ways to Reconnect With GodCreating a safe prayer spaceUsing grounding techniques before prayerJournaling your prayersPraying through music or ScriptureGiving yourself permission to slow down✨ Key TakeawayGod is not disappointed in your struggle. Prayer is not a performance — it's presence. God meets you in your numbness, your silence, your anger, and your tears. You are not failing spiritually. You are healing, and God is near.

What are you turning to when life gets hard—and what might it be costing you? This weekend, Paul explores how many of us use things like gambling, technology, cannabis, shopping, or other habits to numb pain, only to discover we're also numbing ourselves to joy, relationships, growth, and God.

Send us Fan MailIn this powerful episode of the 247 Real Talk Podcast, I ask the question that a lot of people may be thinking but not saying out loud: Have we become so desensitized, disenfranchised, and complacent that we're now just accepting the wrong being done in the world and to us?Have we slowly given up on believing that goodness, truth, and righteousness will ultimately prevail? Or are we just so worn down by everything happening around us that we've stopped expecting better?This conversation is about awareness, accountability, faith, and the danger of becoming too comfortable with what should never be accepted.If you've ever felt like the world is growing colder, quieter, and more indifferent, this episode is for you.In this episode:•Desensitization in today's world•How complacency becomes dangerous•Why people stop speaking up•The struggle to keep faith in goodness•Whether righteousness still has a chance to win#247RealTalk #Podcast #RealTalk #Faith #Truth #Awareness #Righteousness #Society #MentalHealth #Hope

Big Ben heads to the Big Apple and immediately suffers a fashion faceplant worthy of a Manhattan walk of shame. On this Saturday edition of the Fifth Hour Podcast, Ben shares tales from the naked city that never sleeps while chasing his older brother around New York like an overcaffeinated tourist with giant bozo the clown shoes that left him as numb as a bug.

On this episode of Forks Down, Beau and Rick try not to doom too much. A fantastic Astros series followed by an atrocious Padres series. Where do they go from here? Find out their thoughts on this edition of Forks Down - A Mariners Podcast.

Episode Description "What you thought grief was… it isn't." In this episode of Grieve That Sh!t, Sharon Brubaker, grief specialist and founder of The Grief School, breaks down the real definition of grief and why so many grievers feel overwhelmed, exhausted, numb, angry, and emotionally out of control after loss. Because nobody taught us what grief actually is. We were taught how to survive it. Stay strong. Stay busy. Push it down. Keep going. Humans really decided emotional pain should be ignored until it starts leaking out sideways into every relationship. Strange little system. But grief is not just sadness. It is emotional, mental, physical, and deeply connected to the body. It affects your brain, nervous system, thoughts, emotions, and reactions. In this episode, Sharon talks about the brain fog, exhaustion, chest tightness, numbness, anger out of nowhere, and the feeling that your whole life split in half after loss. She also explains why grief itself is not the problem. The problem is resisting it, avoiding it, distracting yourself from it, and pretending it is not there. Because unprocessed grief does not disappear. It waits. It builds. And eventually it starts showing up in every part of your life. This episode is also a powerful teaching on what it actually means to process grief. Not just talking about it, but learning how to lean into the pain long enough for your body to move through it. Because your body already knows how to grieve. It was designed to. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why grief is more than sadness What a full-body grief experience looks like Why grief causes brain fog, exhaustion, and numbness The difference between surviving grief and processing grief Why avoiding grief keeps people stuck What it actually means to process grief How unprocessed grief starts showing up in daily life Questions to Sit With After Listening What was I taught grief should look like? What emotions have I been trying to avoid? Am I processing my grief… or surviving it? Where is grief showing up in my body right now? Homework for You Write this question at the top of a page: "What was I taught to do with grief?" Then answer honestly. Because most people were never taught how to process grief. They were taught how to hide it. Resources + Next Steps

What looks like emotional distance is often something much deeper happening inside the nervous system. Episode Summary In this episode, Thais Gibson explains why Fearful Avoidant Attachment Styles self-numb and shut down and what's really happening beneath the surface. You'll learn how self-numbing is a dissociative coping strategy, why past wounds are stored in the subconscious mind, and how these unresolved triggers can create cycles of emotional overwhelm followed by shutdown. Thais also breaks down how this leads to dorsal vagal shutdown, where individuals feel emotionally flat, disconnected, and unable to engage and shares how healing requires both subconscious reprogramming and nervous system regulation. Key Takeaways ✔️ Fearful Avoidant self-numbing is a protective coping strategy ✔️ Past wounds are stored and shape present reactions ✔️ Emotional triggers can create cycles of overwhelm and shutdown ✔️ Numbing behaviors are attempts to escape dysregulation ✔️ Dorsal vagal shutdown leads to emotional disconnection ✔️ Healing requires both reprogramming and regulation ✔️ Awareness is the first step to breaking the cycle Timestamps 00:00 – Fearful Avoidants Don't Just Shut People Out 00:38 – 1.

With everything going on in the world, it makes sense that some of us want to check out. But at what cost?In this episode, host Brittany Luse is dissecting our current obsession with numbing ourselves to the moment and tuning out. This so-called “numb girl” attitude and aesthetic is defined by detachment, irony, and a world weary cynicism. Think the "Gen Z pout," "expressionless Botox chic,” a deadpan voice, or selfies with a vacant gaze. Of course, It appears effortless and nonchalant, but it's highly curated and self-aware — it's the perfect mask for avoiding humiliation in a world that is always there to judge you. But is avoiding the pain of the world good for us?Brittany is joined by writer Rayne Fisher-Quann aka Internet Princess and freelance cultural critic Sophie Lou Wilson to get into why all the cool girls are dissociating and what we lose when we numb ourselves to the world around us.(0:00) News fatigue, detachment, & irony are cooler than ever(5:02) Gucci runways to political nihilism: numbness went mainstream(10:15) Lobotomy Chic: an ironic joke turned beauty trend(14:57) The privilege of dissociating. Who can afford to disconnect?(18:08) Is numbness a form of feminist resistance?(20:15) How to un-numb and reconnect with humanityThis episode contains mentions of suicide.

Apathy rarely shows itself openly, but it silently dulls conviction, softens courage, and weakens testimony over time. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar challenge believers to consider whether their once burning zeal for God has gradually faded into comfort and indifference. They explain that apathy is a slow drift—a growing complacency about sin, the lost, and God's glory. They warn that spiritual indifference is dangerous because it often cloaks itself in routine, distraction, and even outward activity. Believers must continually ask the Lord to search their hearts, put on the full armor of God, and stay alert against subtle compromise. The gospel can be offensive, so courage is needed to speak and act despite possible consequences.The guys explore how apathy often grows out of comfort and self-sufficiency. Looking to Revelation, they note that spiritual lukewarmness is described as ineffective for God's purposes, a condition rooted in ease rather than persecution. Comfort dulls urgency, while discomfort exposes dependency on God. Apathy toward the lost often stems from forgetfulness, forgetting the reality of judgment and the call to encourage fellow believers. The disciples themselves were prone to forget, proving this struggle is not new. The guys emphasize that self-defense in conflict can reveal hidden idols, and accusations can become opportunities for growth. The guys warn against a sentimental view of Jesus that neglects His authority and rule. Christ demands submission and rewards those who earnestly seek Him with more of Himself. Zeal comes from knowledge, recognizing the need for God and actively pursuing Him through prayer and Scripture. They caution against constant noise and spiritual distractions that mimic godliness without creating depth. Silence before God, intentional prayer, and a willingness to face fear are crucial for reigniting passion. Carrying gospel tracts, using free moments to share faith, and refusing to listen to fear foster a lifestyle focused on others rather than self-centered comfort.Finally, the guys remind listeners that the gospel not only saves but also sustains. Christians never graduate from relying on grace, and spiritual maturity deepens that awareness. Self-assessment, intentional remembrance, and consistent time in God's Word protect against drifting away. Today is the day to respond to His call because tomorrow is not guaranteed. By turning down the noise, running to Christ instead of chaos, and choosing diligence over distraction, believers can shift from apathy to fervor and live lives filled with holy desire and bold testimony.Send us Fan MailThanks for listening!
