“Living as a Christian with Anxiety & Depression”
Teacher: Jacob Morrison
Have you ever experienced that feeling? The feeling of utter
despair? You feel alone or misunderstood. It is like you are
drowning, and everyone is throwing you anvils instead of a life
jacket. Here is the thing: everyone is going to experience the
feeling of anxiety or depression at some point in their life. So
how should you respond when it happens to you? How do you

respond when it happens to your friends? The good news is that
the Bible offers more than the never helpful comment, “Just don’t
be anxious.” In fact, Scripture shows us that part of living in a
post-Fall world is struggling with these issues. Come and learn
how we as Christians should think about these complex issues,
provide help to those who are suffering, and see what the Bible
says about giving hope to those in the midst of sorrow.
