You may know Ramon Ray as the Smart Hustle guy whose story of entrepreneurship, grit, positivity and smart hustle is magnetic. Today I'll be going behind the scenes to hear his journey of faith, what he has overcome and how his faith impacts his work. Ramon loves God and love people.

Ramon is a PK, a pastor's kid and he shares his early life and his later struggle to find his own faith. He shares about being a husband and father in church, yet not connecting with God and even experiencing depression to the point of contemplating suicide. We discuss the concept of depression in church, particularly among mature men and what it sometimes takes to break free of that bondage and find refreshment in Christ again. It might be the motivation when a child goes astray, or it might be something else.

Ramon talks about Entrepreneurial Depression. He recommends mentorship, having someone to talk to, getting professional help where needed and spiritual help. It is demonic as well as natural. An overload of stress leads to burnout and potentially depression. Yet there is often a catalyst that jolts us into seeking God for answers we desperately need. If it's not for our own sake, it may be for a child who has gone astray. Ramon shares the habits that help him keep him thinking clearly and staying healthy.

Note: Some depression definitely needs professional help and we encourage people to seek it.

How do you get that passion back? Ramon can't say what will work for everyone but he does recommend you keep asking, keep desiring and don't wait for something negative to motivate you to change because you may not come back from it.

This will be a fun and encouraging time. You can watch the video at https://www.youtube.com/trishjenkinsfaith/ https://www.facebook.com/trishjenkinsministry and on my personal FB page.
