What do you do when you come to the end of your rope - when you come to end of your own capacity to make life work apart from God?

\\n

A shared experience and connection bring Doug and special guest, Morgan Snyder of Become Good Soil and Wild at Heart, together for a conversation about carrying hope for a spouse in a mental health crisis. Even more, though, this conversation focuses on us and how the most difficult experiences can reveal our broken places but also open a doorway for God to begin to heal and grow us into men better equipped to love and strive for those God has entrusted to our care.

\\n

For men, and also for women, for those who struggle with mental health and for those who love and support them, there\'s something for everyone in this episode. Special thanks to Morgan for so freely giving of his time, experience, wisdom and love for God and others in this episode!
