Friends, I LOVED my conversation with Melissa because we're talk about depression, mental health and how to live WELL in hard times. So, so good! And I’ve read and proudly endorsed her new book, The Radiant Midnight: Depression, Grace and the Gifts of a Dark Place. It’s a must-now read if you’ve struggled with depression or just being in a hard place in life. Melissa shows us how God brings beauty and grace into the darkness of Midnight; sometimes we just need someone who has been there too helpus discover it.
Here are some highlights from our conversation today:
- That God isn't waiting for us to get it together.
- That there is no darkness too dark for God.
- That the purpose of suffering isn't simply to get out of it.
- That we can have Joy in the midst of difficulty.
