Ep. 31-“All Joking Aside” BIG Dave Ebert

Deep down inside, don’t you just wish someone would hear your cry for help? Big Boy Buddy Love was A DJ & Pro Wrestler.  Also, a man struggling with severe depression for years. His life takes a giant turn, from a couch to a different stage and a life-changing ministry after he takes his cue from God. This is a story you don’t want to miss, the everyday extraordinary, Dave Ebert.

This verse was transforming for Dave: IJohn 5:13-“I write these things to yo who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life.”

Great quote from Dave:
“For many years,  I used to use comedy to hide who I was, but now I use comedy to reveal who He is.”
to newbie improv people he would say:
“Your job is not to be funny. You do not have to be funny. Take that burden off of you, because improv is built on being human. Humans are funny. I think God built us as much for love and   compassion as he did for comic relief.”

    Such an honor to be on this show. Meg is a podcast rockstar! 🙂 Thank you for the opportunity to share my story.

    If anyone hears my story and is, or knows someone who is, struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts, please reach out to me. I’m not going to “preach at” you nor am I going to throw out a bunch of Scripture…I want to listen and walk with you. I know it’s sometimes easier to vent to someone who doesn’t know you. So, for anyone in that place…please…reach out. My inbox is always open: dave@gifts4glory.com

    Blessings!
