Fresh Hope For Mental Health

On this episode of Fresh Hope for Mental Health, Pastor Brad Hoefs talks with Brian V. Wieck, a dedicated writer. Brian has completed his new book “The War Within”: a stirring opus on the strengthening of one’s belief in God and his love and mercy through rebuking the lies surrounding this knowledge. Wieck tells Brad how for forty years he had been tormented by God, believing God was responsible for his loneliness, his anger, the car accident that ruined his knees as a kid, and the bullies that use to harass him endlessly. Then, at the age of 49, he had a complete meltdown at work which started him on a journey to realize how it was his doubting in God that led to his unbelief, and how in his unbelief, he did not see all the blessings that God gave him.
