I'm not saying that medication is wrong, but I do think medication is a bridge to be able to get to that place where you can repent, like when you were able to repent. Apart from repentance, repentance is the first message our Jesus, the one that we claim to follow, preached, and it's the one message that led the way John the baptist preached repentance wherever he went, and disciples went and preached repentance to prepare the way for Jesus to come into the town so people could receive.
How do you move from self-hate and depression to a place of renewed hope and joy? In this episode of 'Strong Tower Mental Health', host Heidi Mortenson sits down with author and speaker Jamie Lyn Wallnau to unravel her journey through these dark emotions. Jamie Lyn candidly shares her experience of being medicated for depression, feeling ashamed, and hiding her struggles from those closest to her.
She reveals how she grappled with thoughts of death and negativity, despite an impressive resume and a role as a children’s pastor. Her story is a testament to the complex layers of mental health issues that many face in silence. Jamie Lyn discusses the significant role that faith played in transforming her outlook on life. She emphasizes how the love of God helped her renew the lenses through which she viewed herself and the world.
Repentance, she notes, was a crucial step in her healing journey, alongside the empathy and wisdom she received from her support network. This episode isn't just about overcoming depression; it's about understanding the importance of community, sharing personal stories, and finding holiness in everyday life. Whether you're struggling with similar issues or supporting someone who is, Jamie Lyn's testimony offers a beacon of hope and practical insights for anyone on the path to healing.
