Depression & Faith

To Run To

In today\'s episode, I want to share my testimony about how Jesus runs to us in our messes. He comes into the mess with us, comforts us, and helps us through it, and He wants us to do the same for others. Sadly, this is my final episode, but I am going to continue sharing messages of hope and light on a blog that is in the works.

Keep Christ in You

Sometimes, we leave Christ out of our story. But He is in every story, and we are all infinitely in His story. His love for us is always available. Just like we want to keep Christ in Christmas, let's try to keep Christ in us all year long.SOURCESMonson, Thomas S.

Happiness and Humility in the Era of Self

My husband and I have started calling this time period \"the era of self\" because there is so much focus on self. Let's talk about how self-love and self-care play into the gospel and true happiness and how to have the love of God dwell in our hearts.SOURCESLewis, C.S.

Depression & Faith

It is easy to think that if we just have faith, mental illness will be cured, but I want to talk about how depression and anxiety (and any other mental illness) are not a punishment for a lack of faith. We also talk about how our trials could be leading us to helping someone else who will go through that same trial in the future.SOURCESHolland, Jeffrey R.
