Recently I had the chance to talk with Alex Kocher and Brenda Payne of Known Ministries for their podcast, Conversational Counseling. During our time together, we talk about:
• Some of my testimony and why I wanted to write Midnight Mercies.
• What makes experiencing depression in motherhood distinctly difficult.
• The shame some mothers feel when walking through depression.
• How depression might manifest in the context of motherhood.
• How we can distinguish depression from normal discouragement.
• The realistic, biblical hope we can offer to mothers who are experiencing depression.
• What it can look like to wait on God while we watch for him to lighten our darkness.
• What would be good for husbands or family members to know when trying to help a depressed mom.
• Social media and the irreplaceable ministry of presence within the body of Christ.
• Why Jesus's story of sorrow and suffering gives hope to mothers in their sorrow and suffering.
