This week I sit down with Rev Dr Tania Harris — pastor, theologian, and founder of God Conversations — to explore what it really looks like to recognise and respond to God’s voice.

We talk about:

• Why God still speaks today — and how He does it
• The difference between hearing God and just hearing your own thoughts
• How to test what you’re hearing (without spiralling into doubt)
• The role mental health plays in the conversation — and why it doesn’t disqualify you
• Whether it’s still safe to say “God told me…” in 2025

This episode is for anyone who’s ever asked, “Was that really you, Lord?” and wants to grow in confidence, clarity, and trust.

In Part 2 of our Walk for a Bloke special, Dave, Zac, Jared, and Brad go deeper. If Part 1 was about the event, Part 2 is about the men behind it — their stories, their struggles, and the hope they’re clinging to.

We talk about what it’s like to feel completely lost as a man, how faith intersects with mental illness, and why these chat might be uncomfortable… but they’re also vital.

If you’ve ever thought “I’m not okay,” or you’ve watched a mate fall apart and not known what to say — this is the episode to lean into.

In this episode:
☑️ Real testimonies from the boys
☑️ Faith when it feels distant
☑️ Why blokes need brotherhood
☑️ Encouragement for those walking through the valley
☑️ What we’re praying for as we walk to Cooly

Sunburnt Souls – Where Faith and Mental Health Collide

In this insightful and relatable episode of Sunburnt Souls, Dave Quak takes a deep dive into the reality of frustration—whether it’s caused by difficult people, unexpected life challenges, or the struggles of mental health.

Using a personal story about an incredibly frustrating encounter at the shops, Dave explores how faith intersects with our everyday frustrations. Life can be overwhelming, and even Jesus faced frustrating situations, but having a biblical perspective can help us respond with grace and patience.

What Fuels Our Frustration?

Dave unpacks several key contributors to frustration, including:

• Unrealistic expectations—when life, people, or even ourselves don’t meet our hopes.
• The burden of material possessions—how “stuff” can add unnecessary stress.
• Impatience with God’s timing—why waiting can feel like the hardest part of faith.
• The unique frustrations of mental illness—when our own minds become the battlefield.
• Spiritual warfare—how unseen struggles can weigh us down in unexpected ways.

Holding Onto Faith in the Middle of the Mess

Through practical examples, Dave encourages listeners to:

• Lean into Jesus rather than letting frustration control them.
• Seek healing for mental, emotional, and spiritual burdens.
• Trust in God’s process, even when it feels painfully slow.

Listen Now: Finding Peace in the Chaos

Frustration is a natural part of living in a broken world, but it doesn’t have to define us. This episode is for anyone who feels overwhelmed, discouraged, or just plain fed up with life’s challenges.

Dave closes with a prayer for those struggling with frustration and an invitation to stay connected, support the ministry, and walk this journey of faith and mental well-being together.
