Podcasts about overcoming depression

After a Year of Silence: Uncrowned Podcast Returns with Renewed Faith, Purpose, and Brotherhood For the first time in a year, I'm sitting down in front of a microphone again. The past twelve months were a year of silence – no new podcast episodes, no social media motivation, just quiet. During that hiatus, I was wrestling with my own mind and soul. On the outside, I'm a Marine Corps veteran and men's life coach known for uplifting others. On the inside, I was struggling with men's mental health, facing creative burnout and even battling waves of depression. I had poured so much into helping others overcome their pain that I hadn't fully acknowledged my own. When I finally hit a wall, it felt like depression and doubt had locked me in a lonely room, questioning my purpose and direction. What kept me going through those dark days was a spark of faith that refused to die out. In the stillness of that year-long break, I found myself praying more honestly than ever before. God met me in the silence. Little by little, I felt a pull back toward my calling. This wasn't a lightning-bolt moment or a quick fix. It was more like a gentle nudge, a divine redirection that guided me out of the gloom. I realized I couldn't carry these burdens alone. So I leaned into my faith and reached out to a few close brothers for support. That combination of honest prayer, faith-based self-development, and brotherhood became my lifeline and the path to reclaiming the fire I thought I had lost. A Year of Silence and Creative Burnout: Facing My Own Mental Health Crisis Going silent for a year wasn't a marketing move or a planned sabbatical—it was pure survival. I hit a point of creative burnout where the passion I once had for sharing my voice just fizzled out. Every time I tried to record an episode or write a post, I felt empty. Instead of forcing it, I stepped back completely. At first, I felt guilty and even ashamed about needing a break. Wasn't I supposed to be the strong one? As a former Marine, I've pushed through all kinds of pain. And as a men's life coach, I often encourage other men to speak up about mental health. Yet there I was, unable to find words for my own struggles. Admitting that I felt broken and depressed was humbling and hard. It meant confronting the stigma around men's mental health head-on, even within myself. During that quiet year, I learned to sit with my discomfort instead of running from it. Some days I journaled my thoughts; other days I just sat in prayer asking God why I felt so lost. There were mornings I woke up with a weight on my chest, the kind that makes it hard to even get out of bed. I wondered if my season of purpose had passed. But in that stillness, I also started to hear a whisper of hope. It's amazing how, when everything else is quiet, God's voice becomes clearer. Through late-night conversations with my wife and heartfelt talks with close friends, I began to see that taking care of my own mind and spirit wasn't weakness—it was necessary. This period of silence and reflection was painful, but it was also healing. It forced me to prioritize my mental health as a man and get real about emotions I had buried for years. Christian Masculinity and a God-First Lifestyle: Rediscovering What It Means to Be a Man of Faith As I worked through my internal battles, I found myself reexamining what being a man truly means to me. I've always identified with being a tough guy—the Marine, the weightlifter, the provider. But during my hiatus, I felt God reminding me that Christian masculinity isn't about never cracking or always having the answers. It's about humility, faith, and leading with love. True strength can mean having the courage to say, “I need help” or “I can't do this alone.” This was a wake-up call that living a God-first lifestyle had to be more than a slogan. I started making my relationship with God the foundation of my day-to-day life again, not just something I squeezed in on Sunday. Putting God first changed how I saw my responsibilities and ambitions. Instead of measuring myself by career success or macho standards, I started focusing on character and faithfulness. I asked God to guide my decisions—whether it was how I spent my mornings or how I could return to podcasting with the right heart. Slowly, I felt my purpose being renewed. The more I leaned into prayer and scripture, the more my identity shifted from “Joe, the guy who has it all together” to “Joe, a servant of God trying to live with purpose.” In practical terms, that meant starting each day with prayer, getting back into reading the Bible for wisdom, and being present with my family and community in ways I hadn't before. I can't emphasize enough how much relief it brought to let go of my ego and let God lead. This is what faith-based self-development looked like for me: less of me trying to control everything, and more trusting God to shape me. It's an ongoing process, but it truly set me on the path to reclaiming my purpose as a man of faith. Overcoming Depression through Faith and Faith-Based Self-Development One of the biggest challenges I had to confront in that year was overcoming depression. I haven't talked about this much publicly before, but I want to be real about it here. There were days in the past year when a dark cloud hung over me. I felt like I was letting everyone down—my family, my listeners, myself. Depression is a heavy word and an even heavier experience. For me, overcoming it wasn't about “manning up” in the traditional sense; it was about breaking down my pride and allowing God and others to help build me back up. My faith became a lifeline in this fight. I remember nights when I couldn't sleep, and I'd open my Bible to the Psalms. King David's raw honesty in those pages—crying out in despair one moment and praising God the next—made me feel less alone. It gave me permission to cry out, too, and to believe that God was listening to my pain. I also took some very practical steps as part of this faith-based self-development journey. I started seeing a Christian counselor who helped me sort through the tangle of thoughts in my head. We worked on how to align my daily habits with my values. That meant setting healthier boundaries with work, making time for rest (real rest, not just crashing in front of the TV), and surrounding myself with people who speak life into me. I can't overstate how much these small, faithful steps added up. Day by day, through prayer, counseling, and personal development rooted in faith, the fog of depression began to lift. I found myself laughing again, dreaming again, and creating again. It felt like spiritual growth in real time—each prayer, each honest conversation was like climbing one step out of a deep hole. I'm not going to say I've got it all figured out or that I'll never struggle again. But I now have tools and a community grounded in faith to lean on. And most importantly, I have a renewed understanding that God's strength is made perfect in our weakness (as Scripture beautifully reminds us). That truth carried me through and gave me hope that I could not just survive that season, but come back stronger and more purpose-driven than before. Reclaiming Purpose and Embracing Spiritual Growth As the haze of burnout and depression cleared, I started to feel genuinely excited about life again. It was like waking up after a long sleep. With God's guidance, I began reclaiming my purpose instead of letting negative thoughts tell me I didn't have one. I realized my calling hadn't vanished—it was just waiting for me to pick it back up with a new perspective. In fact, what I went through refined that calling. I'm more convinced than ever that helping men grow in faith, mental wellness, and character is what I'm meant to do. But now I'm approaching it with a humbler heart and a more patient spirit. This renewed sense of purpose led to an unexpected burst of creativity. The floodgates opened after that long drought. I found myself writing again, but this time with more honesty and heart than before. One of the projects closest to my heart is my upcoming book, “The Stoic Marine.” I poured my journey into those pages during the hiatus. It's part memoir and part guide, weaving together lessons from my time in the Marine Corps, the ancient wisdom of Stoic philosophy, and the faith that ultimately anchors me. Writing The Stoic Marine was therapeutic—it helped me process my experiences and also turn them into something that could serve others. The book delves into what it means to be disciplined and resilient while still staying tenderhearted and God-centered. In a way, the process of writing was another layer of spiritual growth for me. It kept me grounded and gave me a tangible mission to work on each day, even when I wasn't in a place to speak publicly. I can't wait to share it with you all, because I believe so many men out there struggle with that same balance of toughness and vulnerability, and I want them to know they're not alone. Brotherhood and a New Men's Retreat: Building a Community of Uncrowned Kings Perhaps the greatest lesson I learned in my year off is that we're not meant to do life alone. Yes, personal faith is crucial, but so is community. I credit a huge part of my healing and growth to the brotherhood I have around me—godly men who checked in on me, prayed with me, and sometimes just sat with me in silence. It reminded me of why I started the Uncrowned community in the first place. We men might act tough, but inside we all crave connection and understanding. When we isolate ourselves, we deprive ourselves of one of God's most effective tools for growth: each other. Coming back into the public space, I feel a strong pull to foster that sense of brotherhood for others. That's why I'm beyond excited to announce that I'm planning a men's retreat. This retreat is going to be all about brotherhood, personal growth, and faith in action. Think of a long weekend where a group of us guys can get away from the noise—maybe out in nature somewhere—unplug, and really connect with God and with each other. We'll share stories, encourage each other, maybe even shed some tears and have some laughs around a bonfire. It's going to be a space where we can drop the “I'm fine” act and get real about the challenges we're facing, whether it's overcoming depression, finding purpose, or just trying to be a better man for our families. I'll be bringing some of the insights from The Stoic Marine to this retreat as well, blending those ideas of discipline and faith in our activities and discussions. My hope is that every guy who joins leaves feeling recharged, supported, and reminded that he's part of a brotherhood of uncrowned kings. We might not wear literal crowns, but each of us has a God-given greatness and purpose inside—we just need to help each other see it and live it out.

Briefing Document: The Power of Hope This document summarizes key themes and ideas from Joe Granieri's sermon, "Are You a Prisoner of Hope?", focusing on the multifaceted nature of biblical hope and its transformative power in a believer's life. Main Themes: Defining Biblical Hope: Hope is presented not as a wishful desire but as a "confident expectation of good" rooted in the absolute goodness of God. It's a forward-looking mindset that transcends past hurts and negative emotions. The Goodness of God as the Foundation of Hope: A foundational belief in God's unwavering goodness, even in the face of suffering (e.g., cancer, disease), is essential for hope. The sermon asserts that after Jesus' sacrifice, God is "never angry with Christians" and desires salvation for all. Hope, Faith, and Love: An Interconnected Trinity: These three concepts are presented as inseparable and mutually reinforcing. Hope is positioned as central, with faith expressing itself through love. Hope as an Anchor for the Soul: Biblical hope provides stability and steadfastness, particularly during life's storms and emotional turmoil, connecting believers directly to the presence of God. Hope's Practical Manifestations and Benefits: Hope actively impacts a believer's daily life, leading to joy, peace, amplified imagination, perseverance, and ultimately, victory over depression and adverse circumstances. Discipleship and Outward Focus: A disciple is defined by an outward focus, caring for others rather than being self-absorbed. This selfless love is a byproduct and expression of hope. The Role of Imagination and Experience: Hope is connected to the imagination, allowing believers to "see the invisible" and envision their God-given future. Christianity is described as an "experiential thing" where hope is cultivated through divine encounters. God's Restoration and Inheritance: Hope is sustained by the belief that God is a God of restoration, capable of returning what has been lost, even "twice as much" as seen in the story of Job. Believers have an "inheritance from God" encompassing healing, peace, joy, and every spiritual blessing. Overcoming Depression through Hope and Praise: Hope, coupled with praise, is presented as a powerful antidote to depression and anxiety, enabling believers to maintain a positive outlook even when circumstances are dire. The Example of Abraham: Abraham serves as a prime example of someone who, "contrary to hope" (natural hope), believed in God's supernatural power, demonstrating unwavering faith despite challenging circumstances and personal weaknesses. Most Important Ideas and Facts: Definition of Hope: "Hope looks to the future. It does not let your past affect you. Hope doesn't allow negative emotions or past hurts to defeat it. If you have hope, then you have a positive expectation of good." The Absolute Goodness of God: "If you do not believe in the absolute goodness of God all the time, then you cannot have hope." This includes believing God does not cause negative events like cancer or earthquakes. Post-Calvary Perspective of God's Wrath: "The net result of that is God is never angry with Christians. He's never angry with us." Jesus took all the wrath and judgment. Hope's Connection to Imagination: "Hope is the New Testament word for imagination." It allows us to "see the invisible" and envision our future. Hope as an Anchor: "The hope we have is an anchor to your soul. That's your emotions... sure and steadfast which enters the presence behind the veil." This anchor connects our emotional state to the "fullness of joy" in God's presence. God's Will for Salvation: "God's will is that every person would be born again and go to heaven. Hell was not made for man." Discipleship vs. Believer: Moving from being a "believer to being a disciple" involves becoming "not self-focused and not self-absorbed or self-entitled," but caring about others. Faith without Love is Worthless: "Paul said, 'Faith without love is worthless. It doesn't have any any positive effect in your life.'" God's Word Creates Hope: "God's word creates hope in our heart... so that through the patience and comfort of the scriptures we might have hope." Hope Defeats Depression: David's example in Psalms 42 and 43 demonstrates how to overcome being "cast down" by "Hope in God" and "yet praise him." Living Effortlessly: Drawing an analogy to eagles and lilies of the field, the sermon suggests God wants believers to "live effortlessly" by receiving from Him and flowing in the Spirit. Abraham's Faith and Hope: Abraham "contrary to hope" (natural circumstances) "in hope in the supernatural power of God, he believed." God looked at Abraham through "faith righteousness," overlooking his faults. Our Inheritance in Christ: Believers have a "living hope" through Jesus' resurrection, leading to an "inheritance... incorruptible, undefiled, that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you." This inheritance includes "soundness of mind, healing for your body, peace, joy, everything that he died for, it's even blessing and prosperity." Prosperity of the Soul: "As your soul prospers, how does it prosper? You grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus. You learn about your imagination. You learn about your identity. You learn about the finished work of Christ. You learn about the absolute goodness of God." In essence, Granieri's message emphasizes that biblical hope is an active, confident, and transformative force rooted in God's character, experienced through faith and love, and manifested in a life of purpose, joy, and peace, regardless of earthly circumstances. It is a choice to believe in God's unfailing goodness and His ability to fulfill His promises, both in this life and the next.

Open Forum: The group engaged in a deep discussion on the intersection of faith, medical treatment, and spiritual healing, with Bose expressing confusion about when to rely on prayer versus medicine. Pastor Amos emphasized that while faith healing is ideal, medical help is acceptable when faith is lacking, and both can work together to strengthen belief. Rosalind shared a troubling dream about a church rejecting both medical and alternative remedies and opened up about her battle with depression, trauma from childhood abuse, and difficulty forgiving her abusers. Pastor Amos cautioned against hypnotherapy due to spiritual concerns but supported natural holistic treatments and advised spiritual remedies like fasting, confession, and deliverance. Stephanie and Pastor Amos highlighted the importance of forgiveness in healing from depression and spiritual oppression, with Stephanie stressing the need for regular deliverance and sharing helpful resources. Lynette contributed her experience with healing and deliverance, and the group prayed for Rosalind's healing. Pastor Amos concluded by promoting an upcoming midweek service and encouraging church partnership for entrepreneurs.   Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com

In this insightful episode, we dive into common myths about depression and how they can impact our understanding and approach to mental health. Jared Jones, a returning expert, provides valuable guidance on navigating depression and offers practical steps for those struggling with it.Common Myths About Depression:Depression is "just" depressionReality: Depression is often intertwined with underlying issues like anxiety or trauma. It's rarely a simple, isolated condition.Depression is simply a chemical imbalance in the brainReality: While chemicals play a role, the brain's complexity means that treatment must also address brain circuitry, not just chemical levels.Medication is the only or permanent solutionReality: Medication is a tool, like a cast for a broken bone, designed to support healing. The goal is to eventually reduce or stop medication with proper treatment and care.You must "fix yourself" before seeking supportReality: Healing is a shared process. Support from friends, family, or professionals is essential. You don't need to face depression alone.You should be able to quickly overcome depressionReality: Healing takes time. Small, consistent steps are far more effective than expecting instant results or a quick fix.Key Steps to Take When Experiencing Depression:Reach Out for SupportDon't try to handle depression alone. Build a support system with friends, family, or a trusted community. Seek help from a therapist or counselor.Practice Self-CompassionBe gentle with yourself. Avoid self-criticism and “should” statements. Treat yourself with the same kindness you would a close friend.Take Small, Manageable Action StepsFocus on progress, not perfection. Take things one small step at a time. Simple actions like calling a friend, going for a short walk, or completing a small task can be transformative.Key Principles to Keep in Mind:Progress is better than perfectionForward is forward, no matter the paceIt's okay to slow down, but don't stop completelyHealing isn't linear – embrace the journeyAdditional Advice:Medication is a temporary support for the healing process, not a permanent solution.Incorporate a multi-faceted approach: therapy, self-care, and medication (if appropriate).Be patient with yourself – healing takes time, and it's okay to move at your own pace.The Most Important Message: You are not alone. Small steps lead to significant progress. Don't give up – take action, seek support, and embrace the healing process.If you or someone you know is struggling with depression, this episode offers a compassionate, realistic roadmap to recovery.

Our homes have become places where we go to escape the rest of the world. A phrase I heard a few weeks ago has stuck with me as we are experiencing "self-imposed solitude." With that mentality has come rising depression. Our homes have gotten bigger, but the entertaining spaces aren't. Our private areas are expanding.

In this insightful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Levy, a father, entrepreneur, and author of Soul Setting: Listen to Your Soul Instead of Your Mind. Levy shares his incredible journey of battling depression, anxiety, and addiction for years before emerging with a profound system that shifted his mindset and allowed him to live free from those struggles for over 15 years. Together, they explore the limitations of traditional goal-setting, the power of soul-setting, and how accepting life's challenges can be a transformative step toward healing and inner peace. About the Guest: Levy is a husband, father, grandfather, real estate developer, and author from Ontario, Canada. For years, he struggled with depression, anxiety, and addiction but has been clean and mentally free for over 15 years. His new book, Soul Setting: Listen to Your Soul Instead of Your Mind, provides readers with practical steps to move beyond mental constraints and achieve lasting peace. Through his own journey of recovery, Levy now dedicates his life to helping others break free from mental health struggles and rediscover their inner strength. Reach: https://www.amazon.com/Soul-Setting-Listen-Your-Instead/dp/1068946105  Key Takeaways: The Turning Point: After being told he would have to live with depression forever, Levy made the life-changing decision to take responsibility for his mental health and seek alternative paths to healing. Soul Setting vs. Goal Setting: Traditional goal-setting focuses on external achievements, which often lead to stress and disappointment. Soul-setting focuses on aligning with inner peace and enjoying the journey. Acceptance Over Resistance: Levy emphasizes that accepting life's situations leads to less stress and greater peace, while resistance only creates further struggle. Letting Go of the Past: Instead of trying to force yourself to "let go," Levy advises integrating past experiences into your present with acceptance and self-awareness. Breaking Free from Addiction: Addiction is often misunderstood as the problem itself, but Levy explains it as a symptom of deeper pain. Healing requires addressing the underlying emotional wounds. Awareness and Responsibility: True transformation starts when you recognize the mind's lies, take full responsibility for your life, and commit to inner work daily.

Depression is on the rise, and the mental health crisis affects everyone. When addressing our lives as body, mind, and soul—always at war with the forces of evil—the concept of spiritual desolation inevitably arises. Spiritual desolation is something the Church has addressed and discussed for centuries. While depression and spiritual desolation are very different, they are often confused, with desolation mistakenly attributed to depression. Today, John Heinen, Devin Schadt, and Sam Guzman (a mental health counselor) discuss the differences between the two and how to overcome each. In our full extended edition, we also answer a listener's question about tactics to get her husband to see a spiritual director.
