About this episode

Pastor Will discusses how Christians can navigate anxiety and depression through Scripture and community support.

In this episode of All Things Possible: Diving Deeper, we sit down with Pastor Will to explore how Christians can approach anxiety, depression, hopelessness, and mental struggle through the lens of Scripture. From the overwhelming influence of modern media to the timeless honesty of the Psalms, this conversation dives into what it means to wrestle with God, find hope in suffering, and remember that we are never alone. Pastor Will unpacks powerful biblical examples from David, Elijah, and Jacob, showing how God meets His people in seasons of fear, despair, and affliction—not with abandonment, but with faithfulness.
