About this listen

Biblical Hope for Those Who Suffer from Clinical Depression

Studies show that everyone will encounter someone who struggles with clinical depression at some point in their lifetime. Depression's debilitating, pervasive joylessness is crippling. It can affect your body and brain, numb your emotions, and put strain on your relationships. For Christians, it can even inhibit them from delighting in the greatest gift ever known—the good news of the gospel.

What should Christians think about clinical depression? How can church leaders respond lovingly to those who face this dark, unsettling, and sometimes baffling dilemma?

In What Does Depression Mean for My Faith?, author and physician Kathryn Butler addresses common misconceptions about mental illness in the church. She offers grace, relief, and practical help to Christians who feel shame, and she equips church leaders with the tools they need to extend Christ's love to the vulnerable.

  • Comforts Those Who Suffer: Offers grace, relief, and practical help to Christians who feel shame over clinical depression.
  • Equips Those Who Care: Provides a clinical, theological, and practical understanding of depression so church leaders can compassionately assist those who suffer.
  • Short, Accessible Format: Combines anecdotes, a concise overview of depression, and practical pointers.
  • TGC Hard Questions Series: Equips listeners with answers to difficult questions facing today's church.

I liked how Kathryn Butler shared her own story, gave practical hints for sufferers and for those coming alongside. She also provided good resources to go back to. The short length of the book made it possible to pay attention. The significant recommendations for getting help from Christian sources make it also possibly worth buying the print version to have on hand.
