    Try To See It My Way

    We're all living inside our own private bubbles, certain that we're right and all those other people are wrong. But why? Are convictions learned in families, a product of culture or basic in our personalities? Why does it seem like things are getting worse? And, what can we do about it? There's a chance we could fall apart before too long, so therapist Dave Verhaagen and pastors Kevin Dixon and Sam Barnhart are here to work it out. - - - Do you have a comment or question about mental health and spiritual issues?

    The Straight Dopamine

    Dopamine isn't exactly the "pleasure chemical" it's described as in pop culture. But, it is responsible for ambition, drive, hunger for new experiences. So, is that a problem in an age of mobile phones and social media? Does it affect our spirituality? How can we control our dopamine hits, and does it make sense to just be bored sometimes? Pastors Kevin Dixon and Sam Barnhart join therapist Dave Verhaagen to explore the topic. - - - Do you have a comment or question about mental health and spiritual issues?
