Why do Christians experience regular depressive episodes, constant self-defeating thoughts or frequent mood swings, while attending the Sunday worship services regularly and serving in the churches faithfully.
This talk will provide participants with the understanding on how and why Christians get depressed. It seeks to empower them on how they can utilise spiritual and practical resources to manage those difficult feelings and thoughts that try to weaken their trust in God.
