Charting Life

How does a Christian reconcile the need for medication with the biblical promise of divine healing? In this episode, I sit down with pastor and author Joshua Kohl to discuss the intersection of faith and mental health. We explore the daily choice to take medication, the destructive lies we believe about our own value, and how to find God's grace when the miraculous healing doesn't come.Connect with the guest:https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61586462704753https://www.amazon.com/Still-Faithful-Prayer-Meets-Prescription/dp/B0H2Y16CZT/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0

How does the culture we live in shape our pursuit of the good, and what does it take to build a lasting family legacy?In this cross-cultural conversation on the Charting Life Podcast, I sit down with Tony, the creator behind the popular YouTube channel British Dad Reacts. We navigate the distinct cultural differences between the UK and the US, examining how nations can mutually inspire one another. Tony shares his profound personal journey of overcoming childhood adversity and homelessness to find his ultimate anchor and purpose in fatherhood.We also dive into a philosophical exploration of the true meaning of liberty and the freedom of speech. By contrasting the American instinct for celebrating success with different cultural mentalities, we uncover the importance of shared gratitude, resilience, and recognizing the inherent value in every person. This episode is a deep dive into how the freedom to pursue the good can actively transform our local communities.What is one cultural trait or freedom you are most grateful for in your own community?
