The discussion of mental health issues used to be taboo, but over the past few decades the importance of good mental health and getting assistance when you need it has come to the fore.

Dave Quak is the pastor of Living Temple Christian Church on the Gold Coast, and who also lives with bipolar disorder.

He is also the presenter of a new series of inspirational spots on 96five around the intersection of faith and mental health, as well as the Sunburnt Souls podcast.

Dave spoke to Alex Milne about his journey of walking with God alongside his mental health issues.
