Description
Depression is the leading cause of disability for people ages 15 to 44. Sadly, it's a condition that people of faith have long ignored believing that it's strictly a spiritual problem, not a medical condition. But Pastor Tommy Nelson, senior pastor of Denton Bible Church, a mega church near Dallas, is on a campaign to enlighten people that mental health is a real problem. He's brutally honest about his own dark times of severe depression and anxiety. In this podcast Pastor Nelson talks about a conference he's leading this week in Washington, D.C. on faith and mental health, called "Journey Through Depression." He wants to dispel the stigma of seeking help through science. But also to show that God's hand is still in the mix.

Right after recording this podcast he took off for Rome to cover the controversial three-week Amazon Synod, or meeting of Bishops, going on at the Vatican. Although we briefly discuss the synod, George has bigger things on his agenda, like the past 250 years of Catholic Church history and why we should look at four very important events in those years that have had a profound influence on the Church today. First, in 1849 a Pope's first step on U.S Sovereign soil; Next, the resulting document of the Second Vatican Council in 1965; Third, John Paul II's return to Poland in 1979 giving a fiery sermon in an in-your-face moment to Communist leaders; and finally, in 2007, a little known document coming from a gathering of Church leaders in Brazil... one of the chief signatories by Lighthouse Faith
