As a teenager, David Murray found himself miserable after walking away from what he had been taught about the faith.

What I thought would have given me tremendous happiness and pleasure and joy actually was

plunging me into anxiety and depression. And it was only when I was pointed to Christ that that really began to lift.

And I knew a peace and a joy that I didn't think was possible in this world.

A teen's heart can be full of turmoil, but we'll hear where that peace and joy come from

today on the Revive Our Hearts podcast for July 19, 2021.

I'm Nancy DeMoss Wogamuth.

Words like depression and anxiety have worked their way into our vocabulary a whole lot more frequently, especially in recent years.

Not only have we seen these become a major issue for our world in general, but specifically for teenagers.

How can we combat this problem that's showing up more and more severely in the younger generations?

Doctors David and Shona Murray are dear friends of Revive Our Hearts. David is a pastor, a biblical counselor. He's an author and a

speaker, and his wife Shona is a medical doctor as well as an author. Today, David and Shona are

joining Dana Gresh to talk about this epidemic among teenagers.

Now, if you love a teen who's depressed or anxious, you'll want to be sure to listen today.

And don't forget, you can always review it later or read the transcript at Revive Our Hearts.com

or through the Revive Our Hearts app.

And, Lord, this is such a serious issue today.

We're all thinking of someone we know who's being taken down by the enemy and whose mind

and emotions are being given over to depression and anxiety.

So I pray that you use today's program to bring a measure of grace and healing and perspective

and hope.

I pray in Jesus' name.
