Stoop Theology S1 Episode 8: Can you love Jesus and still struggle with depression?  

Breaking the stigma — that loving God doesn’t mean you’re always okay.  

The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline connects you to trained crisis counselors 24/7. They can help anyone thinking about suicide, struggling with substance use, experiencing a mental health crisis, or any other kind of emotional distress, or if you are worried about someone you care about who may need crisis support.  

To speak with a Pastor or Deacon at Renaissance Church about counseling or other resources, email [email protected] 

For more information, see the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention or the New York State Office of Mental Health

Whether you’re deeply rooted in faith, skeptical, or somewhere in between, Stoop Theology is a space for meaningful dialogue about questions that matter.
