Deliverance from depression.

Welcome. It's another look into the life and message of Elizabeth Allianz,

who called us to live to a higher standard every day,

to not just be satisfied with a little religion when we could give God our best.

As the series continues in the coming weeks,

we'll hear from family, friends, and others all influenced by Elizabeth's life and message.

Today, we begin a series, a five-part series on deliverance from depression,

as you think about things to keep you from uselessness and about trusting in the dark.

Today, we hear from Kathy Gilbert, a, I think, maybe self-described hippie friend of Elizabeth,

as she talks about Elizabeth's latter years, the silent years,

and about Elizabeth the sledgehammer.

Also coming later, some thoughts from Jim Howard, brother of Elizabeth,

on how well he knew Jim Allianz, and about a special Christmas story related to Jim Allianz.

First, though, it's part one of a five-part series on deliverance from depression,

things to keep you from uselessness.

Here's Gateway to Joy 1307.

You are loved with an everlasting love.

That's what the Bible says, and underneath are the everlasting arms.

This is your friend, Elizabeth Elliott, talking today about a very risky subject,

deliverance from depression.

We have to tread very softly in this area because the word depression today

is very often, perhaps more often than not, used to denote clinical depression.
