I’m Ben from Ben and Travis and I have been working as a minister for 23 years and as a counselor for the last 10 years. I recognize that there are a lot of things in our world that impact different people in different ways. Working in counseling I’ve learned that there are a lot more things that can rock our world that I never knew existed. Many of those things are hidden struggles that others may never know about — or at least they don’t know about until something comes along and quite literally “opens up a can” of past trauma or hidden struggles. So I invite you to come along with me on this journey of exploration and understanding through this podcast which offers short episodes and hopefully informational and motivational material to help you as you prepare for the last day of the week. Not every episode will be about a mental health struggle but there will certainly be weeks that are. Sometimes we will just hope to give you a boost as you close out the week. However, there are some rules of engagement here though - some understanding that I want you to have before you agree to go on the journey. 1.

All through these towns on on the outskirts were buildings, houses, and barns that caught my eye. It wasn’t for the grandeur of them. Not at all actually. What caught my eye was that a great many of them had become so dilapidated that they were beyond repair. Regardless of where you go — whether small towns or large cities — you will see buildings like this. Many years ago I went to Scotland on a mission trip and had the opportunity to see several castles. Most of them would have dated back to times before my country of citizenship even existed. Yet Some could nearly be lived in. I’m sure many are. But many were in ruins. What makes one place seemingly stand the test of time and other structures look like they will fall at any minute? Interest and energy.
