Some Christians have heard that if you’re feeling sad, discouraged, or overwhelmed, you must be doing something wrong—that “real” faith means always feeling joyful and victorious.
But what if that’s not just unhelpful… but completely untrue?
In this video, I answer a heartfelt question about sadness and whether feeling low is somehow unspiritual. We take a look at what Scripture actually says—and it’s far more comforting than the cliches people often throw around.
Jesus wept. Paul despaired of life. David poured out his heart in the Psalms. You’re in good company.
If you’ve ever felt like your emotions disqualify you from being a “strong” Christian, I think you’ll find real hope—and maybe even a deep breath of relief—in what we talk about here.
