Description
Looking for a Christian mental health podcast that tackles anxiety, depression, and emotional resilience with raw honesty and biblical hope?
Sunburnt Souls is where faith and mental health meet real life.
I’m Pastor Dave Quak — an Aussie pastor living with bipolar disorder — and I know what it’s like to follow Jesus through the highs, lows, and everything in between. Each episode brings powerful stories, biblical encouragement, and practical tools for navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, and Christian mental wellness.
Whether you’re battling darkness, searching for joy, or just trying to make sense of it all, you’re not alone. Sunburnt Souls is a safe, unfiltered space for faith-filled conversations and honest connection.
