Sunburnt Souls
Looking for a Christian mental health podcast that tackles anxiety, depression, and emotional resilience with raw honesty and biblical hope?

I’m Pastor Dave Quak — an Aussie pastor living with bipolar disorder — and I know what it’s like to follow Jesus through the highs, lows, and everything in between. Each episode brings powerful stories, biblical encouragement, and practical tools for navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, and Christian mental wellness.

Sunburnt Souls
Walk for a Bloke – Let’s Talk About Men's suicide prevention. Part 2 of 2
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
