Everything seemed like it was in the right place: good marriage, happy kids, a strong walk with the Lord. But then depression hit out of nowhere and she knew she needed help. Author, mother, and counselor Christine Chappell joins the program to tell her story and what she learned about how Jesus comes near to those who are struggling.
Is depression in the Bible? Not in a clinical sense, but yes, it’s all over … a universal expression of human suffering in a fallen world. And yes, the Lord meets us in it.
A loneliness epidemic is increasing in our society as rates of marriage decline and single households grow. But it’s not leading to happiness.
What makes depression different than sadness … one word … hopelessness. Yet for those who are in Christ, there is a light that pierces darkness.
Light expels darkness. And yet, even for a Christian, sometimes the darkness of depression can set in. When that happens, where do you turn?
