In this episode of the Hope + Help Podcast, host Christine Chappell interviews Ed Welch about his book, Depression: Finding Christ in the Darkness. Some of the questions addressed in this interview are:
• In what way does Jesus welcome those who are experiencing depression?
• Why is it true that "faith can feel good, and faith can feel horrible," and how might this comfort a despondent heart?
• How does the gospel offer hope to those who fear that healing and change will never come?
• How might hopelessness "be anxiety that is exhausted"?
• How can we broach the topic of confession in such a way that is productive for the sufferer?
• How might sufferers take aim at hopelessness by taking part in God's "family business"?
• Why is it true that "God must fight [the sufferer's] battle" and what makes this a reality they can rest in?
