Feeling crushed under the weight of depression? You’re not alone—and it’s OK to say “I’m not OK.” In this powerful Sunday message from our “Weeds in My Garden” series, Pastor Christine Ingram shatters the lie that real Christians don’t struggle with depression. Using Scripture and science, she reveals God’s design for lifting the heavy blanket and raising your baseline of joy, peace, and resilience.You’ll discover:✅ Why King David, Hannah, Jeremiah, Paul—and even Jesus—faced deep lows✅ The GIANT lie the church needs to break about depression✅ 3 God-designed ways your body fights depression (tears, sunlight, gut health)✅ How abiding in God’s presence + gratitude rewires your brain for joy✅ What to do in the “dark night of the soul” or winter seasons of despair✅ A miracle healing story: Audrey’s 3-year battle to full restoration✅ Practical steps to “winter well” with God and come out strongerIf you’re battling depression, anxiety, or a crushed spirit, this message is for you. God is close to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18) and wants to exchange your spirit of heaviness for a garment of praise (Isaiah 61:3).CONNECT WITH US:→ Request Prayer: https://bit.ly/3zMyf5E→ Request Care: https://bit.ly/3fBTX5G→ Share a Testimony: https://bit.ly/3Jo7Ped→ Find Events and More: https://bit.ly/3TcrkcR→ Leave us a Review on Google: https://bit.ly/47925jP→ Plan a Visit in Person: https://bit.ly/3sfQdg7FOLLOW US:→ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/illuminatec...→ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@illuminate_ch...→ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/illuminatech...WE HELP PEOPLE FIND ABUNDANT LIFE IN JESUS!
