Faith and Mental Health: Overcoming Depression and Anxiety

We hear constantly that depression and anxiety are some of the most prevalent health crises affecting our world today. So what can we do to overcome depression and anxiety or help our child overcome them? How can we walk in our faith through mental illness?

I am so excited to welcome Preacher and Founder of the Stay Here Organization, Jason Coyne to this week’s episode of the Warfare Parenting Podcast. Jason shares his story of battling his own depression and how his journey through mental illness led him to create an organization that works to support others who are struggling.

Jason talks about the impact mental illness can have on our lives, why organizations like Stay Here are so important for creating support for those battling depression or anxiety, and why our faith in God can be a life-saving tool during these attacks. If you or someone you know is struggling with depression or anxiety, I pray that this episode will help you walk away feeling encouraged and hopeful for the future because God IS good!
