Can Christians be depressed? If you are does that mean you have a demon? How do you actually get free from depression? Many people are struggling with stress, depression and hopelessness, even as Christians. This comes from difficult circumstances like financial instability, relational stress, physical health issues, and general society issues. As Christians, is this okay and normal? There are some churches that say yes you can be a Christian and be depressed and some say that it’s impossible because you are now a new person in Christ. So what’s the truth? Hear hopeful revelation about depression as a Christian in this episode. Also you will hear 6 ways to be encouraged if depression is showing up in your life and prayer for freedom.  

“When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit”. ~Psalms 34:17-18

“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope”. ~Jeremiah 29:11
