Episode Description:

Many Christians must deal with some sort of mental or emotional suffering. While life is a good creation from a loving God, in a fallen and broken world, normal human life can be really difficult.

While we have made tremendous advancements in therapy and psychiatry, the burden of living still comes down to the mundane choices that we each must make each moment, starting with the daily choice to get out of bed.

Our guest on this episode is Dr. O. Alan Noble, the author of On Getting Out of Bed: The Burden and Gift of Living (InterVarsity Press, 2023). This is a book in which Alan sits with us and puts words to our experiences of mental or emotional suffering.

Alan is Associate Professor of English at Oklahoma Baptist University.

We are thrilled to welcome Alan Noble back to the podcast. You might want to check out the episode from February 2022, in which Alan discussed his excellent book, You Are Not Your Own: Belonging to God in an Inhuman World.

How can we overcome the disconnect between our Sunday faith and the rest of our week?
Every week, join David Loughney and Dr. Bob Robinson as they discuss the joys and frustrations of reintegrating every aspect of life with their faith and interview thought leaders and practitioners who are doing it. Bob is in his 50s and David is in his 20s, so they offer an engaging dialogue from different generational vantage points.
If you desire insights into how to live an integrated Christian life, one in which you can better experience Jesus Christ and participate in what God’s doing in the world, this is the podcast for you.
