Ben Courson is our guest. He’s an international speaker, bestselling author, and his TV show, Hope Generation with Ben Courson , is broadcast in 180 countries, and his radio show airs on more than 400 stations nationally. His latest book is called “Flirting With Darkness.” In it, Ben talks about his own journey with overcoming depression and battling thoughts of suicide. He also offers up some specific strategies that you can use if you’ve ever been tempted by suicidal thoughts… or if you know someone who’s wrestling with that. World Suicide Prevention Day is September 10th… AND because all of the stuff with Covid-19 and all the wildness that 2020 had thrown… we thought it would be a really important subject to cover and wildly relevant time.
