Vontrez Roberts, a senior at Wingate University, joins TTV to share his journey with depression, anxiety, and the unique pressures he faces with mental health as a student athlete. A common theme that came from our talk was that God is faithful and able to rescue us from our pits of depression and anxiety. I pray you are blessed by Trez's transparency and can see the hope of Jesus Christ through his story.

What does Easter have to do with mental health? Is that even a relevant question? In this episode, we see how the Easter story actually has a lot to say about you depression, anxiety, stress, or grief. "But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. 14 And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain." -1 Cor 15:13-14

Sincere Christians often ask the question, "Should I go to counseling or therapy for my depression/anxiety/relational problems?" Within this question lie a few assumptions we need to clarify. One, what do we mean by counseling/therapy? Second, what are the negative stigmas that make us ask this question in the first place? And third, if we answer in the affirmative, how should we walk in wisdom when we seek out counseling? All this in today's episode.
