Hey friends and welcome to the Happy Hour with Jamie Ivy Podcast.

I'm your host Jamie and I'm so glad you're here.

Each week on this show, I invite a friend to join me and we chat about

the big things in life, the little things in life, and everything in between.

Hey friends and welcome to the Happy Hour. I'm your host Jamie and I am so excited that you're here.

We have a great show in store for you. Before I get to the show and everything I want to tell you,

I do want to give you a little disclaimer that today's show would talk a lot about mental health.

We also talk about suicide, so if this is a trigger for you or you have young ears in the car,

or you just think this is not the best time for you to be listening, just want to do you be that warning.

But I do also want to say this is a powerful episode today. It is a much-needed conversation.

Sean Johnson, who's the pastor of Red Rock's Church in Denver, Colorado. He released the book.

In fact, it just came out yesterday. It's called Attacking Anxiety from Panicked and Depressed to

Alive and Free. In this conversation, first let me say it's much needed. Second, let me say,

Sean comes at this conversation. We're in a very personal place, a place of at desperation.

He really had to believe and walk through the things that we're talking about today.

And so this is a conversation for all of us. If you are struggling with anxiety or depression,

and especially suicidal ideation, this might be a healing point for you to hear this conversation,

to hear this encouragement. Maybe pick up his book and read the way that his journey has taken him.

He says in here one time, he says, you're not fighting anxiety, you're fighting Satan. This

conversation is much needed. On the flip side, he says in here, he says, most of us know someone

who is walking through anxiety, depression, panic attacks. And this conversation is so helpful

for those of us that are walking alongside our friends and loved ones who are on this journey.
