Episode Details
Back to Episodes162 - The Absence of Struggle Isn't the Win (Mental Health w/ Toby Slough)
Description
Toby Slough has learned to find peace through the storms. In 1988, Toby was diagnosed with a panic and anxiety disorder, but rather than let it wreck his faith, God birthed a desire in his heart to see more people find peace and wholeness in their mental health. Toby and his wife founded Goby Ministries to provide books and resources that reframe the conversation around mental health and help people find God’s strength in weakness.
On this episode, Toby's shares some of his story with Joey Svendsen and Lynne Stroy and the three unpack the need, especially for leaders, to be more transparent in their flawed humanity.
A bonus conversation with Toby and the hosts centers around grace, patience, and judgmental dispositions toward those who inconvenience us—like Joey, when he came very close to accidentally standing up Toby for this episode.
