Ever had one of those days that spirals into a week, then a month, and before you know it, a year? Andy Howard knows this all too well. When his daughter was born with health issues, Andy, a pastor, found himself sinking into depression. He wore a mask of happiness for his congregation but felt utterly abandoned by God. With gentle nudging from his wife, he finally sought counseling—a decision that changed everything.
In this episode of 'Strong Tower Mental Health', hosted by the compassionate Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Heidi Mortenson, Andy opens up about his battle with depression and the lies he believed about himself. Counseling helped him unearth the roots of these lies, leading to a profound transformation. Now an author and speaker, Andy is passionate about mental health advocacy and fitness.
His story is a testament to the power of seeking help and the role faith can play in recovery. Tune in to hear Andy's heartfelt journey from despair to hope, and be reminded that even in our darkest moments, there is light to be found.
