Depression

What does your heart need to hear as you wrestle with depression and anxiety? As Sarah Robinson has discovered in her own struggles, you don’t need to do everything right or believe all the Christian clichés to have a peace-filled life in the midst of mental illness. No matter how you feel in this moment, God hasn’t abandoned you. There is light ahead & you’re going to make it there.

When Life Gets Tough... Smile! Gods Amazing Plan for You!

The Bible is full of stories about people who try to live to God's glory - with ups and downs. Elijah is such a man. He is a prophet who serves God wholeheartedly, but is also prone to despondency and depression. He confronts the king fearlessly, but flees from the queen. And in all this, God continues to care for His servant.

Elijah. Man of Courage, Man of Faith, Man of God.

As we break free from the chains of our past, we open ourselves to the infinite possibilities God has in store. Our journey toward wholeness allows us to be vessels of His love, grace, and transformation. Let us go forth confidently, knowing that we are more than conquerors over our past in Christ. Our stories can light the way for others to find their freedom in Him and overcome fear.
