I Thought Joy Was for Other People | Noelle Hoffmeister | Ep. 143
About this episode
Noelle Hoffmeister shares her journey with depression and faith, exploring the complexities of mental health within a Christian context.
Christian mental health gets complicated when you love God, know the verses, and still secretly wonder why peace feels easier for everyone else.
