Summary

If you or someone you love has ever struggled with depression, you know how heavy it can be—the burden of shame, the urge to withdraw, and the false belief that struggling means failing. Jess has been there, too. But she also knows that fighting for healing is worth it.

In this episode, Jess shares her own depression fight plan—not because she has all the answers, but because she refuses to let shame or defeat have the last word.

This episode may be for you, someone you care about, or just a reminder to tend to your own well-being in Jesus’ name. We pray this encourages you to keep fighting for wholeness, joy, and life wherever you are today.

Let’s Go.
