Summary

This episode is part of our special Mental Health Awareness Month series on Cultural Catalysts. All month long, we’re having honest, hope-filled conversations about the hidden battles so many people face, like anxiety, grief, burnout, and the journey toward healing. Our goal is to equip you with tools, truth, and encouragement to walk in greater freedom and wholeness. On this episode of Cultural Catalysts, Kris sits down with Pastor Levi Lusko for a powerful conversation about mental health, grief, and finding purpose in pain. Levi vulnerably shares his journey through the devastating loss of his 5-year-old daughter and a later battle with debilitating panic attacks at age 38. Together, they explore practical wisdom from his book Blessed Are The Spiraling and discuss how to recognize warning signs before a breakdown. Levi offers profound insights on building healthy rhythms, embracing the different seasons of life, and transforming ambition as we mature. Whether someone is currently spiraling or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers hope that even the darkest moments can become doorways to deeper connection with God and a life of lasting significance. Tune in to discover how we can spiral upward instead of downward.
