Summary

On today’s episode of the Journeywomen podcast, we’re talking about anxiety and depression. I asked my friends Hope Blanton and Christine Gordon to join me because Hope is a trained counselor and Christine has formal theological training. Together, they write At His Feet Bible studies, which I cannot recommend highly enough, and all that said, you might be surprised to learn that both of them actually have and still wrestle with either anxiety or depression. Hope A. Blanton is wife to Ray and mother of three. She earned her master's in clinical social work at Temple University. Currently she works as a counselor in San Antonio. She loves good food, making people laugh, and being outside. And Christine B. Gordon, MATS, is wife to Michael and mother of three. She earned her Master of Arts in Theological Studies at Covenant Seminary. She currently lives in St. Louis where she works as the intake coordinator for a counseling center. She loves to walk, make music with other people, and share bad puns with her family.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Journey Women Podcast. I'm your host, Hunter Beelis. Life's a journey we
0:08.6	were never meant to walk alone. We all need friends along the way. On the Journey Women
0:13.0	Podcast, we'll chat with mentors about gracefully navigating the seasons and challenges we face
0:18.2	on our journeys to glorify God. On today's episode of the Journey Women Podcast, we're
0:23.0	talking about anxiety and depression. I ask my friends Hope Blanton and Christine
0:27.4	Gordon to join me because Hope is a train counselor and Christine, aka Chris, has formal theological
0:33.4	training. Together they write at his feet Bible studies, which I can't recommend highly
0:37.4	enough. And all that said, you might be surprised to learn that both of them actually have
0:42.3	and still wrestle with either anxiety or depression. Today, Hope and Chris and I talk about
0:47.8	everything from where anxiety and depression originated to what it looks like for them to
0:52.6	live in light of redemption, even though they continue to wrestle with anxiety and depression
0:57.0	in their day-to-day lives. Whether or not you have personal experience with such struggles,
1:01.8	I know this conversation is going to bless your socks off because it did mine, and we
1:06.6	pray it's a helpful tool to you both personally and in your discipleship relationships. I
1:11.5	can't wait to share it with you, but you know before we go there that I want to tell
1:14.6	you about our incredible sponsors who helped make today's episode possible. Crossway,
1:19.3	Beauty by Design, and the Christian Standard Bible. The word of God is the foundation of
1:23.7	truth and necessary for life and godliness. That's why it's so important for the Bible
1:28.4	re-read to be accurate to the original languages. But since the only Hebrew or Greek most of us
1:34.0	use today is limited to a word or phrase for our artistic tattoo, we need the Bible we
1:38.8	trust to be both accurate and easy to read and understand in today's English. To compromise,
1:44.4	one for the other would lead behind much of what the original authors intended to communicate.
