When Overwhelm Points to Deeper Pressure with Dr. Deb Gorton & Distraction, Discouragement, and Spiritual Warfare with Daniel Henderson

Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme, "Under Pressure." Today we explored how pressure exposes what we really believe, and focused on Mark 4:35–41. Dr. Deb Gorton joined us to talk about how pressure can reveal the thoughts, beliefs, and burdens we need to sift through, explaining how biblical self-stewardship, wise community, and time with God help keep pressure from becoming burnout. Dr. Gorton is the Founder and CEO of Siv Counseling and Consultation. She also serves as Director of Community Care at Soul City Church in Chicago. Then we had Dr. Hormoz Shariat join us to share the urgent needs of believers in Iran, where Christians are facing fear, persecution, and practical hardship while continuing to stand strong for Christ. Dr. Shariat is the Founder and President of Iran Alive Ministries.  Daniel Henderson also joined us to talk about spiritual warfare, explaining how opposition often arises when believers are serious about the gospel and why pastors and leaders must stay focused on prayer, the Word, and reliance on God rather than self-reliance. Daniel is the Founder and President of Strategic Renewal International, which coaches pastors. He is also the Global Director of The 6:4 Fellowship.
