Let's talk about...MENTAL HEALTH — Dealing with Depression

Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - I Kings 19:1-19 (I Kings 19:1-19; Psalms 6:6; Jeremiah 20:18)

 

All of us have bad days, this is simply part of life. But let's talk about how life feels when the bad days don't go away. We will face seasons in our life where we feel as if things will not get better. Depression is real! It is an overwhelming feeling of defeat that doesn't just go away. It is important that we know that there is hope!

The Bible not only gives us examples of good people that faced times of depression, it also gives us the truths of how they experienced change and victory. Please know that even when we don't feel like it, there is hope!
