Are you a Christian mother who feels stuck in depression? This collection of video recordings is for you.
To celebrate the launch of my book, Midnight Mercies: Walking with God through Depression in Motherhood (P&R Publishing), I invited some dear friends and wise colleagues to join me for a free five-day video event. During the summit—which aired in October 2023—attendees heard from fellow Christian mothers who have personally experienced God's steadfast love and mercy in midst of their overwhelming misery, grief, fear, confusion, and pain.
More than that, attendees were strengthened by life-giving words of compassion and hope offered by respected authors, pastors, and experienced biblical counselors.
Shortly after the conclusion of this event, I made most of the recordings available to the general public. They are now on display on this page for your review and encouragement.

"If you’re a Christian mother whose world has gone dark, and you feel guilty or ashamed that you can’t figure out how to turn the lights back on again, I pray that the Lord will use this book to lift that burden off your back."
Christine M. Chappell, Midnight Mercies
midnight mercies: a book FOR CHRISTIAN MOTHERS WHO EXPERIENCE DEPRESSION
Are you a mother who feels stuck in depression? You’re not the only Christian woman who knows what this darkness is like. When feelings of hopelessness, weariness, sadness, anger, anxiety, shame, and loneliness feel impossible to bear, it can seem like God is nowhere to be found. But there’s more to the story than you can presently perceive.

Biblical counselor Christine Chappell has walked these dark paths herself—and she wants to help you to see God’s heart for you more clearly as you endure sorrow and pain. As Christine recounts her own midnight journey through depression and explores stories of desperate sufferers who experienced God’s mercy in the Scriptures, she shows how God meets us in our despair and helps us toward his light—one step at a time.

Each chapter concludes with immediate help in the form of simple next steps, a Scripture verse for contemplation and comfort, and questions for journaling.
