  • Episode 11: “Broken & Blessed” Depression Anxiety Mental Heath & Faith

    Send us Fan Mail

    Episode 11 is about that “dark hole” we find ourselves. The emptiness we don’t talk about - depression, anxiety and other mental health issues - and puts to question our faith. In this Episode called Broken & Blessed, we listen to 5 young people who courageously share their story with the hope that maybe, just maybe it will help someone else. We find ourselves broken at times but seek the holiness that Christ provides. The blessing which sustains us, as part of his mystical body to find that we feel alone but we are NOT alone. We are broken but we are blessed. | To find out more information about mental health go to the National Alliance on Mental Illness at NAMI.org or call them at 1 (800) 950-6264.
