You’ll reckon with depression at some point in your life, if you haven’t already. Whether it’s seasonal, circumstantial, or a lifelong reality, it’s possible to “partner with God” as we navigate depression. 

I had the privilege of taking notes from the winsome and wise Hannah Brencher about the disciplines she’s putting into place to live faithfully with depression. Whether you’re dealing with darkness today or simply looking to optimize your mental wellness, this conversation is packed with practical tips and refreshing takes on caring for our minds and souls.

This is what’s waiting for you on this episode of The GoodHard Story Podcast:

• Building a battle plan for depression
• Reframing wrestling with God as intimacy with God
• Developing a soft heart and thick skin
• Quitting our addiction to distraction and numbing out

If you’re looking for trustworthy straight talk about being a person of faith living with depression, this episode is for you.
