    Episode 346: Faith, Depression, and Mental Illness: What Every Christian Needs to Hear with Jean Neely

    Many Christians silently wonder: Does my depression mean my faith is weak? In this conversation, Erin sits down with educator and writer Jean Neely, author of Christ in the Abyss, to discuss the difficult intersection of faith, depression, bipolar disorder, chronic suffering, and church culture. Together they explore why so many Christians carry shame around mental illness, how unhealthy beliefs about "having more faith" can deepen suffering, and why God's response to our pain is far more compassionate than many people have been taught.

Key Topics: - Does depression mean you lack faith? - The relationship between bipolar disorder and identity - Why mental health diagnoses should never become your identity - The importance of community and compassionate support - What Elijah teaches us about depression and God's care - Boundaries, burnout, and serving in the church - How to hold faith and suffering together Links Mentioned: jeanneelywriter.com Mercyinthedeep.substack.com Join Erin’s monthly mailing list to get health tips and fresh meal plans and recipes every month: https://mailchi.mp/adde1b3a4af3/monthlysparksignup Order Erin’s new book, Live Beyond Your Label, at erinbkerry.com/upcomingbook/
