Is God Real If Suffering Exists? Gary Gulman Explores | Soul Boom

Gary Gulman (HBO's The Great Depresh, Netflix’s Stand Up for Drummers) joins Rainn Wilson for a vulnerable, hilarious, and soul-searching conversation on faith, depression, and the strange beauty of being alive. From the darkest seasons of mental illness to his life-changing experience with electroconvulsive therapy, Gary opens up about what saved him, and how he still struggles with questions about God and suffering.
