About this listen

 Chris Morris is an author, speaker, and ministry leader helping others navigate depression, suicidal thoughts, and emotional pain through the integration of theology, therapy-informed tools, and spiritual formation. In 2020, Chris reached a breaking point. After a suicide attempt, he experienced a life-altering encounter with God—one marked by a simple but radical message: “I still love you.” That moment became the foundation for his healing journey and a renewed approach to mental health, faith, and community. A graduate of Northern Seminary, Chris brings depth, humor, and theological insight to complex mental health conversations. He is the author of Resilient and Redeemed, Trucking Toward Tenacity, and By Faith, and is a sought-after speaker at national events, including the Disability and the Church Conference. In this episode, Chris and host Erin Kerry talk honestly about rock-bottom moments, what the church often misses in mental health conversations, how community reshapes our healing stories, and practical rhythms—like morning routines—that support emotional resilience and hope. If you’ve ever wondered whether your mental health struggles disqualify you from God’s love, this conversation is for you.
