5 Tips for FREEDOM from Depression (“I’m Christian & Have Depression” Pt. 2) | Ep. 32

Let's Unpack That with Alex & Grace | Christian Life Coaches, Faith At Work, Soul Care, Kingdom Leaders, God-Centered Professionals, Biblical Career Advice

Today, we're diving into Part 2 of a topic that's been close to our hearts and highly requested by our listeners: the intersection of faith and depression.
Depression can often be an overwhelming, paralyzing, and isolating experience. It's easy to feel so stuck in the darkness, tempted to believe that there is "no way out," and that we're powerless to our thoughts and emotions.
Our goal with this episode is not to add more weight to your burden - but simply to be your friends from afar, to come alongside you and encourage you with truth.
The truth that you aren't alone. The truth that there IS hope and light ahead of you. That there is absolutely nothing - not even the depths of depression and despair - that can separate you from God's presence, power, and unimaginable love for you.
Ultimately, we hope these 5 tangible tips equip and EMPOWER you to take a small, courageous, intentional step towards powerfully pursuing the freedom and healing AVAILABLE for you - even in the midst of your struggles.
Because your feelings are valid, but they are not the truth.

We pray that this conversation lovingly reminds you of what's true for you today.
