‘We aren’t always honest about how difficult normal human life is. For the majority of people, sorrow, despair, anxiety, and mental illness are everyday experiences. While we have made tremendous advancements in therapy and psychiatry, the burden of living still comes down to mundane choices that we each must make – like the daily choice to get out of bed’.
Brent talks with Alan Noble, associate professor of English at Oklahoma Baptist University, co-founder and editor in chief of Christ and Pop Culture, and an advisor for the AND campaign about his new IVP book ‘On Getting Out of Bed – The Burden and Gift of Living’.
