John-Mark: "I cannot remember the last time I felt joy."

Through a Glass Darkly highlights the stories of people who are, or at one time were, following Jesus while also living with a mental illness. Hosted by Matt Escott, Through a Glass Darkly will explore the many ways, both good and bad, that mental illness impacts how people understand and live out their faith, as well as discussing the interplay between faith, mental illness, and the stuff of everyday life like parenting, marriage, community, and vocation, to name only a few.
