"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Psalm 34:18

...the church can send a poisonous message...
(please don't take this the wrong way...the church is learning and growing, right?)
"Guilt and shame for not meeting a certain standard...
disappointed stares....
You are only as good as your performance.
You can have God's best if you do it all,
if you become it all.
If you perform well,
you will live well.
But it's the same lie..."
 
Authors Pastor Tommy Nelson and Counselor Steve Leavitt write with honest vulnerability and first hand experience.  There IS hope for anxiety + depression.
