In the Market with Janet Parshall
August 26, 2024
Hour 1: Finding Rest
In the aftermath of the pandemic, even those who have never struggled with mental health have found themselves reeling, looking for answers they don't know how to find. For Christians, especially those who've despaired of help from a church that has too often stigmatized mental health challenges as a lack of faith, the way forward can be particularly difficult to see. Jonathon Seidl aims to fix that. Having fought his own way through crippling anxiety, life-altering OCD, and suicidal thoughts, he knows the value of concrete advice grounded in strong biblical truth. Join us as he shares his insights into finding real rest.
Hour 2: In Our Suffering, Lord Be Near
If the Psalms teach us anything, it's that God is eager to hear our sincere, heartfelt prayer. But what if we're angry, sad, weary, despondent, at wit's end, and don't even want to have anything to do with the Almighty? Ben Locke has been there, done that. Join us to hear how he has learned to deal with the issue of suffering – and find real peace in Him.
IN THIS EPISODE
Jonathon Seidl
Jonathon M. Seidl is the founder and president of The Veritas Creative, a digital media consulting and content creation firm. For the last decade he has been telling stories. In fact he's written over 6,000 of them, first after helping start a top-50 news site, then as the editor-in-chief of the popular non-profit I Am Second, and recently creating and overseeing Kirk Cameron's media venture, TheCourage. Jon has seen how the power of storytelling can transform people, businesses, and culture, especially after sharing his own story of battling anxiety and OCD.
Ben Locke
After multiple injuries and chronic illness forced him to abandon his hopes of playing professional soccer, Ben Locke dove headfirst into writing as a means of escape, expression, and faith. He began journaling his interactions with the Lord, often hunched over the side of his bed due to illness. Now Ben is inspiring the often-silenced voices of the sick, lost, lonely, and hopeless. His unexpected discovery of the profound grace of God, combined with his intense experiences of pain and suffering, motivate him to speak with directness, write with vulnerability, and tell the story of the broken. He recently launched an online journal called Evensong, which is a weekly writing shared with readers interested in communal prayer.
