Hour 3: Triumph Over Trauma

Director David Helling tells us about his new film His Only Son, the story of Abraham. 

David Helling was born and raised in southern Louisiana. Upon graduating from high school in Texas, David served five years in the United States Marine Corps and eventually was deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. In Iraq, David began to spend hours reading the Bible-- sparking a sincere faith and a love for Scripture. Since then, David's life's desire and mission has been to illustrate Biblical accounts through visual media-- "bringing Scripture's Truth from the page to the screen."

In addition, Dawn will talk with Dr. Gregory Jantz about trauma and mental health. Trauma affects a person's emotions, body, brain, relationships, soul, and dreams. Dr. Jantz gives up help for the hurting heart in his book Triumph Over Trauma.

Dr. Jantz is the founder of The Center * A Place of Hope in Edmonds, Washington, voted a Top Ten Facility for Depression Treatment in the United States. Dr. Jantz pioneered Whole Person Care in the 1980s and is a world-renowned expert on depression, anxiety, eating disorders, technology addiction, and abuse. He is an innovator in the treatment of mental health, utilizing a variety of therapies including nutrition, sleep therapy, spiritual counseling, and advanced DBT techniques. Dr. Jantz is a best-selling author of 40 books and a go-to media authority on mental and behavioral health afflictions, appearing on CBS, ABC, NBC, Fox, and CNN.
