Welcome to Broken and Redeemed—real talk, real faith, real life.
Depression isn’t just sadness—it’s a profound, complex struggle that can linger even for believers who love and trust God. In today’s episode, Eric, Jenny, and Jessica open up about their personal battles with depression, wrestling through faith struggles, emotional burnout, and misunderstandings surrounding mental health in the church.
Through raw stories, biblical truth, and deep reflection, the trio explores how depression impacts faith, how Christian communities can do better in supporting mental health struggles, and why honest lament—like we see in the Psalms—is a necessary part of healing. Jessica shares her powerful journey through high functioning depression, emotional exhaustion, spiritual wrestling, and learning to walk through dark valleys with God’s presence.
If there’s one thing we hope you take from today’s conversation, it’s this: Struggling with depression doesn’t mean you’re weak in faith. It means you’re human—and God meets us in the darkest places with His steadfast love and hope.

Whether you’re walking through depression yourself or standing alongside someone who is, our hope is that this conversation offers real encouragement, grounded biblical truth, and a reminder that you’re not alone. Let’s seek truth, extend grace, stay rooted in Christ, and strengthen one another in love.
