We long for unshakeable faith in the struggles of life, don't we? But if you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety and depression, unshakeable faith might seem like a pipe dream. Caris Snider joins Kristi on the show for an honest look at anxiety, depression, motherhood & figuring out how to trust Christ in all of it. Caris shares her personal struggles with anxiety & depression, how she came to understand that mental health wasn't something she could "faith" or "pray" her way out of - and speaks candidly about getting help from professionals.

The grip of anxiety and depression is very real, and today's episode is a fresh reminder of how important it is to take care of our mental health.
