Can real Christians experience real depression?
Could being depressed be a sign that they aren’t a child of God?
Is the Christian’s ultimate goal wellness and recovery, or is there something deeper God is doing through our pains? In this session, I briefly address these questions, giving viewers a variety of biblical and historical narratives that demonstrate depression is not an abnormal part of the Christian experience.
Professionally, I am an author, writer, speaker, YouTube show host, and am currently in the process of obtaining my biblical counseling certification. Personally, I am a married mother of 3 who has battled depression for almost two decades, diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder II. I have also walked through periods of self-injury, eating disorders, anxiety and panic, and two mental hospitalizations. That is not a brag list. It is a confession of vulnerability so that viewers know I do not approach these topics lightly, or unsympathetically.
