The Church Needs To Talk About Mental Health | Episode 53
Episode 53 gets real.
Sawyer Smith sits down with Brandon Clarke for one of the most honest conversations we’ve had yet... mental health, anxiety, depression, isolation, burnout, and the stigma surrounding it in Christian culture.
Why do so many believers suffer silently?
Why do men feel like they have to “deal with it” alone?
And why did God tell Elijah to rest instead of simply “having more faith”?
This episode dives deep into:
• Mental health in the Bible
• Anxiety, depression, and faith
• Isolation and community
• Rest as a gift from God
• Why asking for help takes courage
• The importance of renewing your mind
• Breaking the stigma around counseling and vulnerability
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, burned out, anxious, isolated, or spiritually exhausted... this conversation is for you.
You are not weak.
You are not alone.
And you are not less of a Christian for struggling.

You Will Meet Opposition | Ep. 52
In this episode, we walk through Acts Chapter 13, the start of Paul and Barnabas’ first missionary journey and one of the most powerful chapters in Acts.
We talk about spiritual opposition, rejection, church hurt, calling, fasting, waking up early to spend time with God, and Paul’s sermon explaining how Jesus fulfills the entire story of Scripture.
This conversation also dives into:
Why following Jesus often brings resistance
The difference between religion and relationship
How God uses imperfect people
Paul and Barnabas facing criticism and conflict
Acts 13:48 and the deeper questions around salvation and belief
One quote that stuck with us:
“You’re not trying to get in the Bible… you’re trying to get the Bible in you.”
We hope this episode encourages you to stay faithful, keep seeking God daily, and continue sharing the Gospel boldly, even when it’s uncomfortable.
