## Resource

Greetings, Congregation! New episodes on the way this week, we've got Jason Lyle and Dr. Matthew Halsted to name a few, but here's an old interview I dug up because of how transformational the author's book was on me at the time (and now). I hope this encourages anyone struggling with depression and the christian life, and how those things intersect. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
