Depression and anxiety. Two words that are all too familiar for so many of us. And the statistics have only gotten more bleak in recent years.
But what is the depressed or anxious Christian to do? Do we pray? Seek help? Take a prescription?
Christian counselor Ed Welch and clinical psychologist Tim Sisemore join today’s episode to offer practical advice and tangible hope for anyone struggling with one or both of these debilitating conditions.
Ed Welch, M.Div., Ph.D. is a counselor and faculty member at the Christian Counseling and Education Foundation. He’s written a number of books and articles about depression, fear, and biblical counseling. Today, he speaks with Charles Morris about anxiety and how Christians suffering with this condition can find relief and heed Jesus’ command: “Do not fear.”
Dr. Tim Sisemore is a clinical psychologist who served as Professor in the PsyD program at California Baptist University, and now works as a Licensed Clinical Psychologist at St. Louis Behavioral Medicine Institute. In this conversation, he speaks with Charles Morris about how Christians struggling with depression can find hope in our constantly changing world.
