Depression: Don't Bear it Alone The Frontline Podcast
-
- Christianity
Depression. It’s a word many are either afraid or ashamed to utter. Depression is difficult to overcome and come to terms with.
According to the CDC, 50% of Americans will battle with mental illness at some point in their lifetime.
Women are nearly twice as likely as men to be diagnosed with depression. However, compared to women, men are three times more likely to die by suicide in Australia, 3.5 times more likely in the US.
Research shows men are far less likely than women to seek help not only for all mental-health problems, but depression in particular.
According to a 2014 Lifeway study, 66% of pastors mostly avoid the topic from the pulpit, choosing to preach about mental health either once, rarely, or never each year.
Unfortunately, most churches have not provided mental health support to their congregation.
This podcast episode is not about telling Christian’s to “try” not being depressed. We will not tell you that the reason you feel depressed is you lack faith. Your personal faith in Christ can help ease depression. This episode is about finding ‘hope’ in your walk with Christ.
In today’s episode, we talk with Darryl Eyb. He’s a pastor, blogger, and speaker. He helps ordinary people connect with an extraordinary God, so they can follow Jesus in their everyday life. Welcome, Darryl.
Questions:
Has depression made you question God or feel distant from Him?
Has depression impacted your faith?
How did you overcome the hold depression had on you?
What can the church be doing to help those with depression?
What do you want to say to a depressed Christian?
