Ep. 105: Katara Washington Patton on Depression, Anxiety, & Worry

Noah has a conversation with Katara Washington Patton about depression, anxiety, and worry–how common these struggles are in Scripture and amongst Christians, but how they are stigmatized in the church. They talk about breaking through barriers to reach out for help if you need it, as well as how to be a good friend to someone struggling with their mental health.  Katara Washington Patton is Executive Editor at Our Daily Bread Publishing, and the author of eight books, including her latest Navigating the Blues: Where to Turn When Worry, Anxiety, or Depression Steal Your Hope, an Amazon best-seller.   She is also the author of Successful Moms of the Bible, Successful Women of the Bible, and Successful Leaders of the Bible, among other works.    Katara has worked in the editorial and acquisitions departments at Weekly Reader Corporation, Jet Magazine, Urban Ministries, Inc. (UMI), McGraw-Hill, The African American Pulpit, The Chicago Defender, Tyndale House Publishers, and Christian Century Magazine.
