Can You Be Depressed and a Christian?

What happens when praise music doesn't fix your depression? In this deeply compassionate episode of "You, Me, and Jesus," Keenya shares her own journey through depression and how she experienced God's presence even when she couldn't "feel" Him. Discover how to find hope during difficult seasons without resorting to toxic positivity. Keenya vulnerably shares her season of darkness and the surprising spiritual gifts that emerged through depression rather than despite it. Learn how to hold onto faith when emotions and circumstances seem to contradict God's goodness. In our "What Would Jesus Actually Do?" segment, we explore how Jesus might respond to someone experiencing depression while in ministry—sitting with them in their pain (like He did in Gethsemane) rather than questioning their spiritual maturity. Whether you're currently walking through the dark valley of depression, supporting someone who is, or have emerged from a season of darkness with questions about where God was, this episode offers authentic hope without minimizing the real struggle. If you felt empowered by this episode, take a screenshot for your stories and tag Keenya on Instagram @keenyakelly. I would be honored to hear your takeaways and re-post your share!
