For those of us feeling the weight of mental illness, we don't only need hope that our pain will go away. We need hope that even if it lasts, God is still good. He promises never to leave us, and he's sovereign over every minute of our pain and difficulty. In Anxiety, Depression, and Jesus, Aaron Hoover normalizes the relationship between faith and suffering. Aaron is a pastor who has battled anxiety and depression for two decades and is compassionate and empathetic toward the similar experiences of others. If you are suffering-Aaron's writing is a great reminder that you're not alone, you're not crazy, and there is a God who is with you.
Guest Bio:
Aaron's calling is to redeem families, multiply leaders, and shepherd people by living authentically and showing God’s faithfulness.
