Mental Health for Men (and the women who love them) with Dr. Jim Shoopack

When you’re trapped in a depressive loop, hearing "just snap out of it" or "just pray harder" can leave you feeling even more isolated. Whether you are battling clinical Major Depressive Disorder, struggling with a spiritual dry season, or simply stuck in a heavy season you can’t shake, you don't have to carry the weight alone. Hosted by an educator (Ed.D.), 21-time marathon finisher for mental health awareness, and two-time MDD survivor, this podcast bridges the gap between honest mental health support and Christian faith. Having lost his brother Bob to suicide in 2021, the host brings raw vulnerability, deep empathy, and Christ-centered hope to the conversation. Rooted in grace, scripture, and practical real-world strategies—and grounded by his happy marriage and three rescue dogs—he provides a safe space for men to heal without judgment, while helping the women who love them navigate the journey alongside them.
