About this listen

Depression is a silent battle many believers face but rarely talk about—especially in the church and in African homes. In this episode of The Eden City Podcast, we open an honest, faith-centered conversation about depression as a child of God.

We begin by defining clinical depression and addressing common misconceptions that label emotional struggles as spiritual weakness. Through Scripture, we explore biblical figures such as Elijah, revealing that faith and depression can coexist—and that God meets His people with compassion, not condemnation.

This episode also addresses postpartum depression, why many new mothers struggle in silence, and how prayer, community, rest, medical help, and biblical truth can work together in the healing process. One of our hosts shares a personal testimony of walking through depression and finding restoration in Christ.

If you or someone you love is battling depression, this conversation offers biblical clarity, hope, and practical encouragement. You are not alone—and healing is possible.

🕊️ “Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, but a good word makes it glad.” — Proverbs 12:25
