Truth of Depression Part 1

Today Dr. Cornelius and Dr. Bell dive into a compassionate, conversation about depression: what it is, what it isn’t, and where hope fits in. They unpack tough questions like whether sorrow and grief differ from “sinful” depression, how symptoms can be physiological as well as cognitive, and what Scripture — especially the Psalms — teaches about broken hearts. What you’ll hear: - A careful distinction between grief/sorrow and sinful depression. - The role of hope in healing. - Practical symptoms: is depression physiological or simply wrong thinking. - Honest examples from the Psalms that model lament, honesty, and hope. - How the heart, behavior, and thoughts interact — and where healing pathways begin.

In this episode, they unpack what Scripture says about the purpose of emotions, how they shape our spiritual lives, and how believers can respond to them in a way that honors God.
