Danny Gokey on Depression with Dr. Caroline Leaf | Dinner Conversations

[@sandrahoffarth9857]

Tell Your Heart to Beat Again is what got me through the passing of my dad! Two years after he died I was finally able to sing that song at my church for special music. Thank you for sharing your gift and helping to make depression an open conversation.

[@rosereynaaverageandy7417e]

And lassner Rose 🌹 Reyna Danny gokey

[@sherrellneal68]

“GOD saw something in ME that I didn’t see in myself...again” Amen Danny so humble and eloquently stated!!! His Grace is so sufficient🙏🙏🙏

[@ckks0nyoutube]

I like how Dan Gokey, keeps referring to the word of God as a healer

[@chrisaiello8950]

I’m rewatching the episode with Danny Gokey, it was awesome! Talking of his journey to who to he is now was fascinating! Thank you for this show so full of faith and journeys with God I became a subscriber tonight after watching only about 5-6 shows this past month during our ever present lockdown/self quarantine. I have watched your other shows Mark and I love them and yes I have subscribed to those too. Keep on checking on us; God has this. Our Lord Jesus is at our side always.

[@majoroldladyakamom6948]

There's no comma between Gokey and keeps. Just saying, lol.

[@debbieforhim7800]

Dr. Caroline Leaf is amazing. I have learned so much from her. I needed this reminder!

[@pattim73]

Great words by Danny. Just saw him sing at Harvest Online last Sunday. Keep using God's gift Danny, you are a blessing.

[@soniac8532]

Psalms 46:10 "Let be and be still and know that I am God" this scripture followed through a very dark painful time in my life. But God kept reminding me that He was there. He still is.

[@brarose]

God bless you !

[@bellaendale2765]

Man.. the way Gokey pulls the curtain back behind depression was so insightful. Thank you sir.

[@BobbyDeneke]

Wow wow wow! You're breaking/crushing/destroying the lockdown of freedom that seems to have gotten lost in the church. Awesome show today. I think maybe our culture in America has caused calluses to grow over our faith parts. Dr Leaf shows a way around it, to freedom. And it circles back to God. Great great show today!!!

[@em1694_]

Throwing in that Spanish! So dope! I didn’t expect the Spanglish version of this song to be sung in this video :)

[@joannthomases9304]

He is precious to people, youth, old, thank Jesus for sending him through to bring a lot of people. Honest and bringing out love ! Yaaaay ! 💕👏👏👏 He sounds just like us out here. Gotta love his honesty. 🤗

[@patriciabeckman8573]

Danny & Caroline...two of my favorite ppl. So thrilled and blessed by this Great conversations.

[@cherib.8791]

“Let the word of God be your truth,”. Excellent advice. Danny Gokey was a pleasure to get to know. Spiritually sound and joyful. Good stuff.

[@moosh35]

I needed a pick me up... Loved the show. I can relate to Danny with the highs and lows. Behold I make things all NEW... AMEN TO THAT!

[@beverlypasco262]

Been a fan from your 1st appearance on American Idol. You are an Angel boy!! Thank you for being transparent about depression! It’s so important to let others know they are not alone. Takes so much courage to be real. So many of us suffer from depression and anxiety. “Be immersed in God’s word”. We will be healed in heaven. Medicine didn’t work for me either... Caroline Leaf helped me also! I give my feelings to the Lord. Right now, if I feel down I watch an episode of The Chosen series and I let the visuals of Christ impact my brain, heart and mind. It Truly helps seeing and hearing a depiction of Jesus my Lord and Savior. Feels like He is in my living room talking to me. 😊 GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!! ✝️🔥

[@redeemedbygodsgrace1971]

Thank you for saving me a seat at your table....I loved the conversation 🙏❤️🙏

[@cherlgolja5402]

Love Danny music and his spirt ❤️🙏🏻

[@maureenchristensen2959]

Thank you both, thank you Danny, God is with you!!

[@DoDayDem]

Just discovered mark Lowry’s dinner conversations and Mark on Monday’s and I’m addicted and binge watching. Such a blessing. Thank you Mark. Found this one fab u lous !!

[@ckks0nyoutube]

I like that he mentioned that, he felt that wisdom came from outside of himself, I am one of those Christian's who would pray and wait but now am learning to listen for God ordering my footsteps; and God is patient with me, sometimes all the capacity I have is for one small step in say a month, and sometimes for many steps at a time

[@normitaluvsmama]

I really need this video right now. I recently lost my spouse suddenly so it's been very difficult 😕😔

[@karenperry112]

So I saw dinner conversations today with Danny Goki. Just loved it. Have some kids who struggle with depression like their Dad, my ex. and previously a preacher. Had seen Caroline Leaf before. Like her but understanding better as Danny Gobi related it. Thnx

[@chrissyfoley7361]

Thank you Danny for being so open on your struggle with depression. Thanks to all of you for blessing us with this video. I love each and every one of them. I pray blessings on you all.

[@dinnerconversationswithmar2965]

Our honor, Chrissy.

[@yolisajijana5348]

Danny is awesome

[@darlenemcintyre9998]

Beautiful singing. One of my favourite songs. My family has had a lot of loss, the greatest was my 7 year old grandniece who died of brain cancer. Her mother is having such a hard time and I feel that this conversation is encouraging. Grief is such a challenge. Christians need to be more open about depression and the church needs to hold each other up in Jesus!

[@annomaly751]

Darlene McIntyre so sorry for the loss of your 7 year old grandniece Darlene 🙏 I’m sure this is so difficult for her mother there does need be more talk of depression and mental health in Christianity

[@eyziets]

This is so helpful, informative and wise. And enjoyable! Thank you very much.

[@debbieforhim7800]

LOVE THIS SHOW!!!

[@donsherman9439]

Danny music is helping me cope with my loss...Brenda

[@karenrangeloff4730]

So blessed by this conversation, thank you for sharing it.

[@cleofewhite5551]

The ending is so funny. I enjoyed this video so much. thank you, Mark and Andrew. This is so encouraging because I have anxiety too and I am a Christian too...

[@NancyGrant17]

So excited with the content in the D.C. today. I was looking so forward to the new shows and you hit it out of the ballpark. Thankyou Jesus!

[@happyami102619]

Oh my goodness, I love Dr.Leaf!!!!

[@annettekoch3766]

Touching Interview, I have been so encouraged by Danny after being on my own for the first time in my life when I turned 51. We as Christians are not living a true life for the Lord if we don't utilize the Holy Spirit every single moment of every day. Keep up the good work, look forward to more. Dallas Holm would be so awesome. I saw him live in concert when I was a teenager, where he would bring thousands to the front to be saved. Great memories. Please don't take this wrong, I love a lot of Amy Grant's songs but she has a terrible history of doing some very ungodly things in life and really has no testimony.

[@louiseking4519]

Wow! Every guest has so so much truth to wisdom to share. I feel like I am learning more application of the word than I have for years. It is the real life experiences and feelings that we never talk about in church. Thank you!

[@laurenfisher3121]

Whew! This was so good!

[@Rpgbros889]

Thank you for taking about this topic.

[@trevapowers5514]

I just recently discovered this show and I love,love,love it! Thanks!

[@wandamyres9583]

How fun and refreshing.Mark,you have always been a source of encouragement and Hope,Thank You for dinner conversations,

[@pibby56]

Wow I so loved this

[@Dacuteone08]

Wow Danny! I love how God has blessed you! And I love Jesse!!! What a man of God! You are too, my friend! I look forward to meeting you when we go to Heaven!

[@tinadelgado8856]

This episode was just so beautiful! The message was great! I needed to hear it. I follow Danny on Instagram and this came up on his Instagram feed and I love this conversation! I will definitely watch more of your videos! God is good! ❤️🙏🏽❤️

[@dinnerconversationswithmar2965]

Looking forward to having you join us at the table!

[@Dacuteone08]

Danny, thank you for doing this show. I started going to a new church in Feb of 2018 and about six months later I started singing on the worship team. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE it!!!!! God gave me the gift of singing and I have a new love for worship music! Some of the worship team does worship at Celebrate Recovery and wow! I want to be used by God to bring the lost to the feet of Jesus through worship. That is my dream! You are an inspiration to so many and me!!

[@hannahgadlage]

Mark your so funny !

[@tanyagermain5435]

Ok so I get what is conversed about. I have been through deep depression and have anxiety to this day. I have been on meds and it does not help me. I’m still working through anxiety and depression and learning that our lord has been through it all. My biggest problem is fear, Control and doubt. I’m not talking just fear and doubt. It is sooo much deeper... so deep the thoughts, fears and doubts is all you think about. Christian or not it can hit u when u don’t expect it. Christians are saved sinners and we learn as we walk our own road and in so many levels. I get what Danny is saying. He is a help to a lot of people who are struggling cause of what he went through. So our suffering and our walk is a experience to help others. Is it easy? No! Do we doubt ourselves go through fear, doubt, depression and anxiety ? We sure do!cause we are human. We are to help one another...not to judge, not to criticize and not to compare. I’m so learning and wish I could have known what I know now compare to back when I was young. Our feelings Is our biggest culprit !!!!

[@darlenemcintyre9998]

To "unbecome what I have become" is the process God calls repentance and accepting His forgiveness.

Thank you for the introduction, I had no idea who he is. I am old...lol!

[@Tomorrowandtomorrowandtomorrow]

I'm Jewish. The translation we use is "Desist! Realize that I am G-d!" The previous lines describe how He stops wars. Go look up and meditate on what 'desist' means for you. What can you mindfully abstain from? What war can you give up? How can you stop fighting - today?

[@juliemaggard7094]

"Stay on your meds people." 😂 Right on Mark! 👍 GBY...Love your vids & God bless you for blessing us 🙏

[@mudog35]

what about being gay ??? how can they help?

[@stayblessedbeablessing4208]

True fact Danny! @ 8.30 why don't we go to them? And @ 12.19 being still! Was funny!

[@maryjordan7724]

Glad things are working out for Danny Gokey. Being young, and having your life ahead of you, helps tremendously. Can't completely agree with him, but whatever is working for him is great. Sorry, but Dr. Carol Leaf is one person that is extremely hard to follow and understand what she is talking about.

[@christinajmventricelli666]

Awesome

[@joannthomases9304]

Ooohhh myyy, how very pretty ! 🤗

[@melodybollinger4747]

Great to watch and listen to this conversation. I was disappointed with one thing regarding Dr. Carolyn Leaf. I have some regard for her work, but not happy that she made light of prayer. If you comb through all of Scripture and assuredly look at Jesus Christ - people prayed and God oftentimes answered prayer miraculously without the help of the individual praying. There's something special about prayer, especially because God tells us to and Jesus taught us to. We can never discount prayer and the need for it, nor should we ever veer people away from it. May God bless you buys for sharing your dialogue. Next time, can you arrange for us to enjoy what you're eating also?! (Smile)

[@omedeenreid4774]

Hello brother Danny how much it will take for you to visit us here in Jamaica?

You can read and talk about the word of God but actions and doers of the word are who will be blessed.

"Then those who feared the Lord talked often one to another; and the Lord listened and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him of those who reverenced and worshipfully feared the Lord and who thought on His name." Malachi 3:16

Best part was the music.

[@bettydorsett182]

This is such a powerful program. These pandemic days have forced us to look at God's word and apply it.

[@tootsiedawn2016]

I've suffered with depression since I was 10 years old. I've been diagnosed with "Manic Depression", "Borderline Split Personality", "Borderline Bipolar Disorder". Those, to me are just words. Medicine helps to a certain extent. After you pass that line, God has to take over. If God hadn't been a HUGE part of my life, I wouldn't be sitting here talking/typing about it. I would have committed suicide at 10 years of age. God kept me alive. He had plans for me. Plans I didn't and still don't know anything about. I'm 48. It's almost Christmas again. A lot of people have a very hard time with depression around the holidays. I think that's mainly because they've lost loved ones and it's hard to live through the holidays without them. I have it hard because of something that happened to me on Thanksgiving day in 1988. I try to keep myself busy every year. Some years are harder than others. But I'm STILL HERE because GOD wants me here. Due to Crohns Disease, 4 months ago, I had a blockage in my bowels (due to excessive stomach surgeries from Crohns Disease). It was due to the scar tissue and lesions. They got my small intestine twisted enough that nothing was coming out. I was admitted to the hospital and they called in a Surgeon thinking I would need surgery to fix it. A day or 2 after I was admitted, the Preacher of my Church came to visit. We talked for a few minutes and before he left we prayed together. During the prayer, I felt a tingling sensation start from my head an d go through my body out through my toes. I'm NOT exaggerating AT ALL!! It was an AMAZING EXPERIENCE. The next day they took an X-ray. It showed my intestine was untwisted! It was back to NORMAL!! I knew! I knew at that moment, the tingling I had felt was MY LORD & SAVIOR HEALING ME!! I am a Baptist and like Mark says, I've never seen a miracle. Let alone be on the RECEIVING END OF ONE!! God saved my soul when I was 7. He saved my life just a few months ago! I'm here to tell EVERYONE that GOD IS REALLY REAL!!! Jesus IS coming back for His children! Please make sure you ARE ONE OF THEM!!! All you have to do is admit you are a Sinner! Confess your sins to Jesus! BELIEVE that Jesus DIED ON THE CROSS for YOUR SINS so that you may be saved and may enter the Kingdom of Heaven when the time comes. BELIEVE that Jesus AROSE FROM THE DEAD 3 DAYS AFTER HE WAS BURIED!! BELIEVE that Jesus IS COMING BACK for His children! BELIEVE that Jesus LOVES YOU! Do ALL of these things and you SHALL be SAVED! You SHALL have YOUR name written in the LAMB'S BOOK OF LIFE!! You will have a GLORIFIED BODY! There will NEVER, EVER be any PAIN, SADNESS, ILLNESS or DEATH in Heaven. My question to those of you who don't KNOW God/Jesus is this: "WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!?!" This is the EASIEST and BEST THING YOU WILL EVER DO FOR YOURSELF!!! Why wouldn't you run to do it? Yes, you HAVE to give up those worldly, sinful pleasures. But what you will be getting is a ZILLION times better! THINK ABOUT IT!! PLEASE!!!

[@katepalmer4540]

[@andreao6840]

Danny, I've been asking artists to begin a tv show I call "Christians Got Talent" (singing competition) all over the world to take the music industry out of satan's hands and fully into Jesus'. Let me know when u can start it. I would like to go to the finale.

[@HK-qn4rz]

Fun and fulfilling content. One comment, science can't prove the bible. It can confirm aspects of it but it can't prove it. Science changes, the truth of the bible does not. But it is a wonderful tool for us to help understand the world he created.

[@JoanneJaworski]

If the nervous system is raw and the low frequencies become dominant, a person can't "choose" well. So surprised that there is no mention of energy tools (which I initially learned from a priest) or frequency avenues to change the low vibrations. The body isn't craving a drug to fix anything. It's craving energetic frequency balance! The reason for generational "patterns" is because we learn via downloads of what we see, hear and learn about life from those around us before the age of 7 yrs. old due to the sponge like theta brain wave state. After age 7, discernment begins but energy patterns of both good and bad have already been activated and learned. That's why frequency and energy plays a role in change and not just how we "think".

I battled depression for most of my life. It all went away the day I saw a beautiful lady who had no nose. As long as I have a nose on my face, I’m happy.

[@chadlong1109]

Has Mark ever disavowed or apologized for all his “jokes” supporting child abuse in the 90’s? I grew up with a stepfather that would regularly beat me, and he thought Mark’s bits about hitting kids were hilarious. He’d quote them back to me, stuff like, “Oh, am I squelching your personality?!?” I was afraid to go home, and once there, I was afraid to leave my room. I got really skinny because I’d always skip family dinner. It’s messed up every aspect of my life, and the PTSD has given me pretty severe agoraphobia and panic disorder. My mom’s awful husband would’ve hit me even if Mark had never picked up a microphone, but I really didn’t need the salt in the wound.

[@jld4870]

So sorry for the trauma in your life. I pray Mark answers you, even if he doesn’t know that you are ok even with ptsd. Dr Leaf and many others are blessed with much knowledge about our brains. Pray you reach out. You are Not Alone. 🙏❤️🤗

Kara's comment reminds me why I stopped watching these kind of shows. I remember how bad Star Search was for singers. You had to come out blaring from the beginning just to get noticed. There should be less judge comments and more singing in my opinion. If you cut out half of these comments then singers could do more with developing the pace of a song. As it stands they have to get to the chorus fast and sing unreal high notes or else the judges will criticize them for picking a bland song.
