Similarly, church members often see the problem, or struggle themselves, but don’t know what to do or how to help. This collection of real-life stories from pastors who have suffered from depression exists to encourage others in similar positions and to help church members better support their pastor when depression strikes. Written by pastors who have/do struggle with depression, multiple stories present a variety of viewpoints and experience, offers practical advice on supporting pastors who are suffering with depression.
