In this episode of Mindful Faith Moments, host Jason Henry-Ruhl dives into the powerful intersection of faith and mental health, exploring how faith can play a meaningful role in overcoming depression. We often hear well-intentioned phrases like, “just pray more” or “you need more faith,” but these simplistic answers can sometimes feel isolating and discouraging.
Jason shares his own experiences with mental health challenges and unpacks how faith, when understood correctly, offers strength, comfort, and hope in the darkest of times. Faith isn’t about magically removing pain or pretending everything is okay—it’s about trusting that God is with us in the struggle and guiding us toward healing through practical steps like rest, self-care, community, and seeking professional help.
Through Scripture and personal stories, Jason reminds us that our worth is not tied to how we feel on any given day, and that depression doesn’t diminish God’s love for us. With verses like Psalm 34:18 and Ephesians 2:10, this episode encourages listeners to find peace in their faith, even when life feels overwhelming.
Whether you’re personally struggling with depression or walking alongside someone who is, this episode offers practical insights and spiritual encouragement to remind you that you’re never alone in your journey.
And don’t miss the opportunity to learn more about how Mindful Faith Ministries integrates faith and mental health through devotionals, workshops, speaking engagements, and more.
Tune in, and let’s walk this path together toward hope, healing, and wholeness.
