Episode Synopsis

“Darkness is my closest friend” —these were the words of the Psalmist. “Everywhere the perpetual endeavor of the enemy of our souls is discouragement. If he can get the soul ‘under the weather,’ he wins. It is not really what we go through that matters, it is what we go under that breaks us. We can bear anything if only we are kept inwardly victorious.” These are the words of Amy Carmichael in Learning of God, and they speak to the struggle that plagues so many believers today—depression and anxiety. Pastor Kevin unpacks Psalms 88 and 77 and addresses these issues—how we can help others who are dealing with depression and how we can find hope in our own situation?
