#35 - True Christians Never Get Depressed? Reconciling Faith & Mental Health
Description
True Christians Never Get Depressed? Really? One of the most difficult and misunderstood subjects within Christianity and faith in general, is how do we try and reconcile genuine faith with the issue of depression and other related mental health issues on the spectrum? No doubt it is a very tough question to answer, but answer I will try.
This subject is spilt into a Part 1 and Part 2. Part 1 helps us build the framework of the severity of the issue within the faith community, and begins to build a framework towards a healthier hermeneutic. While Part 2 will dive deep into several key passages in the New Testament to try and bridge the gap between scripture and mental health.
As mentioned in this episode, I have written a book on this subject titled, "Learning To Breathe Underwater: Managing Depression in the Sea of Religion." You can get the book via paperback or Kindle. Click here

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This is a topic the Church needs to talk about. I live with depression and can't talk to my brothers and sisters about it because there is so much misunderstanding. This is awesome.
