## Resource

Where can a man turn in his darkest hours? The Sunday School answer is "Jesus!" and that's not wrong—but how does a man do that? What's more, how does a man do that when everything within him is pulling him in the opposite direction? In this episode of the Impactus podcast, Chris is joined by Mark Soppitt, a former police officer, pastor, and current spiritual coach who uses his story of plunging into the depths of soul-crushing depression and debilitating bipolar disorder, and how God met him in that place and turned everything around. Out of his own testimony of profound healing and transformation, Mark now lives his life to help others find the grace and strength that Jesus offers to all who need it. Join us for Mark's inspiring story, and find fresh hope today. https://www.impactus.org/podcast/ep-108-finding-hope-in-the-darkness-with-mark-soppitt Website: https://impactus.org/ Check Our Resources for Men: https://impactus.org/resources/ ---------------------------------------------- Follow us on Social Media Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/impactusmen/ Instagram: https://instagram.com/impactusmen/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/impactusmen/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/impactusmen This Is Me TV: https://www.youtube.com/user/ThisIsMeTVShow
