Kuhusu kitabu hiki cha kusikiliza
How to embrace God's hope. . .even when darkness is all you can see.
Even when we're walking closely with God, we can still stumble and get lost in the wilderness of tangled emotions, loneliness, and depression.In this five-session audio Bible study, bestselling author and pastor Chris Hodges explores the story of the prophet Elijah to reveal how everyone is susceptible to feelings of depression. But Elijah's story reveals that we don't have to stay there! We serve a God who meets us in the darkness.
In the book of 1 Kings, the prophet Elijah had just experienced a great victory over the prophets of Baal. God had shown his glory and power before the people. But it only took a death threat from a wicked queen to send Elijah fleeing for his life into the wilderness. And it was there that he fell into a state of depression, praying that he might die and suffering in his loneliness. . .
Drawing on his trademark blend of Bible-based wisdom, practical application, and personal vulnerability, Pastor Hodges will help you examine the causes of depression, the factors that contribute to it, and will offer you a biblical approach to wellness—mind, body, and soul.
