Summary

What do we do with the seemingly never-ending emotions that can come in this generation? How do we manage the persistent feelings of anxiety and depression that can overtake our lives as believers?
Dr. Kevin Chapman has worked with countless individuals struggling with anxiety and depression. As a believer and clinician, he has seen how powerful emotions can be in the lives of the people he helps. And through his work, he has also seen the hope that can come in the healing that can be found through Christ and God's word. By learning to take captive the thoughts that often precede big emotions, Dr. Chapman has seen major shifts in how emotions impact a believer. In his book, Mastering Our Emotions: Biblical Principles for Emotional Health, he helps readers walk through how to do just that as they encounter their own emotional responses to life's challenges.
In this episode, Davey and Dr. Chapman talk about how to untangle our identity in Christ from the labels of a mental health diagnosis, how to even begin to manage our emotions, and why so many teens are struggling with anxiety and depression in this generation.
If you find it difficult to control your responses to the difficulties in life, this conversation will empower you to know that even in the midst of the most painful setbacks and challenges, you have agency in how you respond to your emotions and that with the power of God, you can learn Biblical principles to master your emotions.

0:00.0	Hi, friends. Just want to interrupt this conversation to see if you're looking for a way to help a friend who is hurting,
0:06.3	are you having a hard time knowing how to show up and show that you care and whatever pain they're walking through right now?
0:11.7	Listen, we understand, and we've been there. Even though I've walked through my own trauma and painful season,
0:17.2	I can still struggle to know how to best enter into the pain of those around me.
0:21.3	I'll never forget the first funeral that I preached after losing my late wife Amanda in 2015.
0:26.2	I showed up and I felt like I was stumbling through, not knowing what to say,
0:29.8	because it just is so difficult to know how, exactly how, to enter into somebody else's pain.
0:37.2	In fact, there were so many people who
0:38.5	were well-meaning right after my late wife passed away that they would send me all kinds of
0:44.9	different things. But most of those things, they either filled my house with clutter or I ended up
0:51.8	disposing of them because it just wasn't useful as well-meaning
0:54.8	and well-intentioned as people were. They just, I don't think, knew what to send me. You know,
0:59.3	you want to find that perfect combination of meaningful and thoughtful and practical. And that's
1:06.3	why we've created that nothing-as-wasted restore box. Nothing-. Nothing is wasted restore box is just what you've
1:11.6	been looking for as you seek to show support and love for a friend, a coworker, or a family member who is
1:17.8	hurting. The restore box is a thoughtfully curated gift box that has some of our favorite
1:22.9	resources and reminders from Nothing is Wasted Ministries that will encourage anyone who is walking
1:27.6	through a difficult time. Whether it be lost, a divorce, a lost job, an unexpected diagnosis,
1:33.7	betrayal, or just a season of depression or anxiety, or really any other pain point for that matter.
1:40.4	This box is for when someone you love needs a reminder of hope and that nothing is wasted in their pain.
1:47.9	Each restore box includes a copy of the nothing-as-wasted book, a copy of the pain to purpose devotional,
1:53.4	a beautifully crafted scripture pack full of encouraging verses, the nothing-is-wasted anvil paperweight,
