    Jesus Is Why I Didn’t Lose My Faith in Depression - with Emily Hatfield

    Depression can shake the foundations of faith. For some, it raises painful questions about God’s nearness, goodness, and care. In this deeply honest and hope-filled episode of Sharing Life, Changing Lives, Robert Hatfield and Bill Wade sit down with Emily Hatfield to talk about why her faith endured—even through seasons of profound emotional darkness. Emily shares her personal journey through postpartum depression and anxiety, the lingering effects that followed, and the grief of losing her mother. Rather than offering clichés or easy answers, she opens up about the real struggles, doubts, prayers, and spiritual wrestling that marked those seasons. Throughout the conversation, Emily reflects on how Jesus met her in her suffering—not by removing every burden immediately, but by sustaining her, strengthening her faith, and anchoring her hope when she felt weakest. This episode offers encouragement to anyone who has battled depression, walked with someone who has, or wondered how faith and mental health intersect.
