Can You Be a Christian and Still Struggle with Anxiety and Depression?
Depression and anxiety can stem from many sources—biological, psychological, or spiritual—so no two cases are exactly the same, and each deserves thoughtful, personalized care. These struggles reflect the wider brokenness of a fallen world, and being a Christian doesn’t make one immune to them. While Jesus offers joy, living water, and the bread of life, that doesn’t mean all suffering disappears. Christians may still experience deep pain and darkness. But in that darkness, Jesus still sustains—not always by removing the pain, but by giving just enough strength for each day. Want to hear more? Comment ‘Depression’ below and I’ll send you the link!

(9:53) Depression and anxiety in particular are, in my view, just as likely to be rooted in something biochemical as to be rooted in something experiential, some type of past-trauma or something like that, as are likely to be rooted in sin, and so it totally depends, I'm going to speak into that very differently depending on, right, the presence, the presence of a psychological disorder, anxiety, depression is the result of brokenness. And we know that the full effects of sin have not been alleviated yet and so I think it's a good point to make that though the Christian experience is one of to use the metaphor of Jesus use like finding a treasure, like drinking of living water, like eating of the bread of heaven. That does not erase all of the effects of sin and so you will feel the Brokenness. And there are times when the feeling of that brokenness is immense, and it it's like a dark shadow hanging over you.
