133: Anxiety And Depression: Is God Still There?

Anxiety and depression. To say that you have never struggled with either one of these throughout your entire life is a gift in itself. For those who have struggled with it in the past or who currently struggle with it today can tell you it is a living nightmare with little to no hope.   On this week's episode of Real Talk Christian Podcast, Marc Hyde and Chris Fuller talk about the personal struggles that they have had or have helped others through.  Through all the low times, it can can be difficult to answer the questions: Is God Still there? What should I do if I am depressed or have anxiety? How can I help others that are struggling with depression or anxiety? Marc and Fuller encourage and share their own stories in this somber episode.   //Resources Used In This Episode//   https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/ https://www.dbsalliance.org/education/depression/statistics/ https://www.everydayhealth.com/hs/major-depression-health-well-being/surprising-depression-facts/?utm_source=google_search&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=eh_cs_ag_119712464057&utm_content=eh_cs_cid_519267905262 https://www.healthline.com/health/anxiety/anxiety-triggers https://www.focusonthefamily.com/marriage/depression-reject-the-guilt-embrace-the-cure/ https://www.desiringgod.org/articles/friends-are-for-the-darkness https://www.focusonthefamily.com/get-help/depression-in-the-christian-family/ https://ca.thegospelcoalition.org/article/how-to-help-someone-with-depression/?amp https://ca.thegospelcoalition.org/article/how-to-help-someone-with-depression/?amp   //Other Episode You Might Enjoy//   https://realtalkchristianpodcast.com/episodes/001-does-my-past-effect-my-future/ https://realtalkchristianpodcast.com/episodes/015-conversation-with-paul-lindgreen/ https://realtalkchristianpodcast.com/episodes/024-christians-doubt/ https://realtalkchristianpodcast.com/episodes/097-when-we-feel-far-from-god/ https://realtalkchristianpodcast.com/episodes/122-finding-god-in-the-difficult-times-an-interview-with-jess-ronne/   // Helpful Links //   The Christian Standard Bible: https://bit.ly/3rulKqi Lifeway Christian Resources: https://bit.ly/3qka4Wv Brew it Forward Coffee Co: https://bit.ly/3k2Iz1Q Got Questions?: https://bit.ly/3vSMJfq Dwell Bible App: https://bit.ly/3zUYq8E Cross Formed Kids from Ryan Coatney: https://bit.ly/3h19isZ RTC Quick Links: https://linktr.ee/realtalkchristianpodcast RTC Merch Store: https://real-talk-christian-podcast.creator-spring.com/ RTC Online: www.realtalkchristianpodcast.com
