Listen to the voice that calls you beloved. That’s the beginning of the conversation that God has with us.” - Brennan Manning

Today, we feature the concluding segment of a 3-part discussion between Michael John Cusick and Brandon Appelhans. Brandon is founder and Executive Director of My Quiet Cave, a ministry that helps close the gap between the church and the mental health community. As Brandon shares his own struggle with mental illness, you’ll hear about how his life of faith and the pursuit of mental health existed in separate worlds. Brandon’s passion is to make the church a safe place for people with mental health issues, as well as equipping the church to be a resource instead of a roadblock. 

Brandon holds a BA in Speech Communications from Colorado State University and a Master of Divinity from Denver Seminary. After living with bipolar disorder for years, he wants all people to experience hope and the fullness of life in the midst of the struggle. He and his family live in Denver, Colorado.

In this podcast, we hope you will discover:

  • What’s it like for people in ministry that deal with mental health issues.
  • God’s “expectations” for us in our relationship with Him.
  • The vital importance of genuine relationships for those who serve in church leadership.
