3 MYTHS About Depression + Our Personal Experiences ("I'm Christian & I Have Depression" Pt. 1) | Ep. 31
Manage episode 382430504 series 3460654
Is it "okay" to have depression as a Christian? Did people in the Bible ever experience depression? And what do we do when we find ourselves in a dark and hopeless place, DESPITE knowing all the "Christian truths"?
Today, we're sharing part 1 of 2 on the topic of faith and depression (one of our most highly-voted-on topics to date). (Subscribe to our newsletter to vote for future ones!)
We talk about our own personal experiences - from years ago, but also even more recently leading up to this episode release. We dive into the unspoken challenges so many of us (including biblical heroes and giants of faith) face, 3 common myths about depression that many people (including Christians) have, and what we've personally found to be helpful in how to view and think about depression - either for ourselves or for those around us suffering through it.
If you or someone you love struggle with depression: you are not alone.
You are more valuable, worthy, and powerful than you think - no matter what you're experiencing right now.
We pray that God uses this conversation to speak hope into your heart, and strength to keep on going.
