Prayer Didn’t Fix My Depression—At Least Not at First | Mark Vroegop & Christine Chappell


Listen Later

Are you wrestling with grief, depression, or anxiety? In this powerful FamilyLife Today episode, hosts Dave and Ann Wilson sit down with pastor and author Mark Vroegop (”Dark Clouds, Deep Mercy”) and biblical counselor Christine Chappell (“Midnight Mercies: Walking with God Through Depression in Motherhood”) to explore the biblical practice of lament. Discover how lament is more than just complaint – it’s a prayer language that moves you towards deeper trust in God, even in the midst of profound sorrow. Mark and Christine share insights from their own experiences and ministries, emphasizing the importance of a “theology of sorrow” and why sadness is a valid, even necessary, response to life’s brokenness.
