Lisa Dutcher and Christine Chappell join Nathan and Greg to discuss Christine's book, Midnight Mercies. Christine emphasizes that life is complex and can't be reduced to simplistic formulas for success, especially when it comes to motherhood or spiritual growth. She argues that while spiritual disciplines like quiet time with God are important, each person’s circumstances—such as their relational, emotional, and financial situation—are unique. Offering a one-size-fits-all solution can be harmful, particularly for those struggling with depression, as it may lead to feelings of failure and shame if the prescribed practices don’t bring immediate relief. This approach can deepen the sense of hopelessness and make people feel abandoned by God, further compounding their struggles.
