Listen "From Pigsties to Preachers: What Bacon, Spurgeon, and Mental Illness Teach Us About Grace"
Episode Synopsis
This week on Sunburnt Souls, Dave Quak is back with another raw, real, and at times ridiculous episode—recorded while on family holiday, but packed with depth. He reflects on how short radio soundbites have unexpectedly spread across 14+ stations in Australia, sharing stories that connect faith and mental health in bite-sized doses.In this episode, Dave takes us on a journey that includes:Singing the Home and Away theme in Thailand—and what it taught him about embarrassment and boldnessBipolar mania and making dumb financial decisions (again)Learning to recover quickly after stuffing up—why guilt is not godly, but grace isA fresh take on Charles Spurgeon’s cigars, melancholia, and unapologetic ministryA biblical look at Elijah’s mental crash after a mountaintop miracleAnd yes… why bacon proves that beauty often follows the stinkiest seasonsThis one’s a blend of humour, honesty, and healing. If you’ve ever felt disqualified by your struggles, this is your reminder that God uses broken people—on purpose.🎧 Also featuring: a never-before-aired soundbite on bacon and mental health that might just become your new favourite analogy.☀️ CONNECT with Sunburnt Souls Discover more from Sunburnt Souls — a Christian mental health podcast sharing real stories of faith, hope, and healing at sunburntsouls.com.
