Truth? It’s hard to talk about anxiety and depression, especially that which knocks on even darker doors. But we need to talk about it. We MUST talk about it.

A week ago, Cindy Beall and I sat down with Molly Allen as she shared her powerful story. A story of generational wounds, recently triggered by postpartum depression. A story of darkness and light; brokenness and restoration; devastation and hope.

Afterward someone mentioned that it happened to be World Suicide Prevention Day. (Seriously?!) Then we heard about a beloved pastor, husband, and dad who, in a moment of sheer desperation, took his own life.

“I am made new in Christ. I do have the power to create new thoughts. I do have the power to create a different future—if I choose life, if I choose Him.” Molly Allen

Guys, this episode was scheduled to air NEXT month, however, we felt stirred to fight back TODAY. To ditch the plan, lean into the tension, and unleash Molly’s story into the world as quickly as possible.

If you’ve ever wondered how someone can choose LIFE, even when things get overwhelmingly DARK, we’d love for you to join us. There is hope. You’re not alone. Let’s push back the darkness together.
