The Trial of Depression in Motherhood

His People Interview as Featured on Pilgrim Radio
Visit Episode Webpage
I recently had the opportunity to join Bill Feltner on his radio program, His People, to talk about the trial of depression in motherhood. During the conversation, I briefly share about my previous experiences with depression and reflect on questions such as:

• Why did I write Midnight Mercies?
• Is depression a growing issue in today's culture?
• Where do we find experiences of depression in the Scripture?
• What does the title of my new book, Midnight Mercies, mean?
• Is there something about being a mother that lends itself to depression?
• What is the role of prayer in the trial of depression?
• What might lament in depression look like?
• Where do we see experiences of depression in church history?
• What about people who experience seasonal depression—what's a biblical encouragement for them?
• How does Naomi's life story encourage the mother who is suffering from depression?
• What role does spiritual warfare play in our experiences of depression?

"Sharing her own experience of depression and the anguished cries of God's people throughout Scripture, Christine Chappell reveals Christ's compassion for the hurting in her new book, Midnight Mercies: Walking with God through Depression in Motherhood. "
