Every fall CCEF hosts a conference where they slow down to consider how Scripture speaks into a specific area of life. This year’s topic is on rest: what does it look like, and how can we grow in it? I’m looking forward to speaking at the conference this year for the very first time!
When experiencing depression, a mother can sometimes feel like the onus for change lies squarely on her shoulders. Desperate for rest from exhaustion, she tries everything she knows to feel better or back-to-normal again. But what happens when her efforts don’t yield the results she hoped for? In this session, Christine recounts her own journey through depression in motherhood and shares the profound invitation of rest that God gave her while in the psychiatric hospital. Through personal testimony and compassionate biblical counsel, Christine shows how God's goal for despondent mothers is not that they would work themselves out of the darkness, but that they would wait and watch for him to walk them through it.
I hope you’ll join us virtually or in person in Chattanooga, TN, from October 4–6. To learn more or register, visit ccef.org/2024.
