E356 The Burden and Gift of Living
Have you ever asked yourself the question: In today's episode host Jason Wieland, Content Development Pastor at Saddleback Church, talks about his favorite book of 2023. It's called On Getting Out of Bed: The Burden & Gift of Living by Alan Noble. This short, 104-page book is rich in its look at anxiety, depression, and other hardships of life. It doesn't sugarcoat the realities of suffering. For anybody who may not struggle with these issues themselves, Dr. Noble paints an important picture of what life is truly like for those in this daily fight. However, this book is truly one of hope as it reminds us of the reality of our good creation, the presence of our good Creator and the truth that your life is a testimony of that goodness - whether you are having a good day or not.
Join Jason as he dives into this impactful, important book. This episode highlights some quotes from the book as Jason discusses why he finds this book so necessary and what makes it his book of the year.

Good ol' Saddleback ❤. I've had anxiety for a long time, but the depression is new for me. I was just thinking of listening to a book or something and I thought: "you know, I bet saddleback has something good on anxiety and depression." Literally the first link. Thanks guys, you've gotten me through a lot of hard times.❤❤❤

In a quite time if you a mindful in a positive manner. The negative only needs a decision to recalubrate the meaning to everything. Thank you so much for soeaking in this.

To ask someone a question, and we listen to them. What I found with most people is that instead of acknowledging the struggle, and the difficulty they're going through . The very Next statement that's offered is at least one to I'm ppl l, or 2 or 3 pieces of advice that wasn't asked for. Just compassionately attentively truly listening. Without any advice, judgement, or questions. One can identify then where the powerful energy of unconditional Love, empathy and interconnectedness then takes place! I wish I could talk to my sister about things once in a while. 14:24 I didn't ever want solutions or advice either. I've given up long ago! Sadly I don't even get to finish before I am bombarded what's 17 opinions, in several several solutions!! I was never allowed to even finish, I didn't want advice I just wanted to say things out loud to share with someone.. actually I decided to find out what it is I could learn from that! Now I start out with, I just want to talk about something but I don't need any advice or opinions I just want to share something
Now I just start out with that I would like to just be heard I don't need opinions I don't need advice I just want to share something.. of course I'm unable to have a conversation with my sister. And that's okay too I still love her. I'm just taking care of my energy space in keeping it a positive space.
Thank you for this just sat wondering how to deal with anxiety about a sibling who even in our 60’s continues to say hurtful things I worry about meeting them all the time as I simply don’t know how to respond at the time I don’t understand but it’s sudden without warning each time I get so nervous can’t or won’t say hurtful things in return people say I should but I don’t want that so your episode on how to forgive and let it go may be just what I need thank you. I hope anyone who reads this has a wonderful Christmas and a very blessed new year ❤❤🎉
Thank you. I did. Hope you did as well🌷❤🙏🏼GOD BLESS YOU and YOURS...Now & ALWAYS♡
I have a sibling same situation all our lives and about 6 months ago he received god into his life and he is changing for the better in deed and in words.. Try to have faith and PRAY FOR THEM! It works!❤ Truly, just be love.. 😢& 🙏🏼

In my humble opion we are here not by choice but willed by our karma by Not having honored the GOD that we profess and confess to subscribe too for if it were not true than we would Not have to have a reason for getting out of bed!!!!
God created this earth and the life on it and it was good. God did not create money.....don't get out of bed for money, but only to live life as it was created by God.
Iam have to pick this book up i really didn’t get to really meet Alan but he seem like a nice person 😊

Hi Alan
How does one manifest a change of health,how can you cure cancer if your dieing from it or how does one manifest healing there damaged avatar,if one has. Stroke and half of there bodies paralyzed,how does one manifest the use of there paralyzed body repaired through manifestation?

Ha ya it’s super easy to wake up at 2 in the afternoon cause ya just don’t care if you wake up or not. It’s like my mom waking up af four in the morning seems as easy as waking up at two in the afternoon. So I did and stayed up all night and worked to waking up at three or four in the morning and did for a week. Then I fell back in my ways going to be later so now it’s four in the morning and I’m going to bed rather then waking up. A lot of society assumes everyone cares about life and it’s like no. Some people wish they could die or simply vanish into the abyss and end their pain or lack of motivation to zero will.
good! your contents so nice
first tenant Buddhism, Suffering. First.

Failure to delivery may be happening already to a small yet manageable extent, I've little doubt. I'm sure Elon and friends are beginning to stock pile, as well. We see this with other nations building up, IE, India, Turkey, China, and so forth.
Well girl, as per usual you rock , I hear you
This is what I told my friend who was in bed vomiting from the flu! I said, just decide to get out of bed! Sounds a lot like "Just choose to be happy." You do realize it isn't all just mental, right. F's sake.
the freeloading church causes a lot needless suffering.
So wiered
So helpful
