Welcome to the Believe Again podcast, powered by Parable Bookkeeping & Accounting, with your hosts, Josh and Amy Roberie! On this show, we discuss the challenges and triumphs of ministry, offering hope and practical insights for pastors and leaders everywhere. Our goal is to explore the heart of what it means to believe again and lead well in every season of ministry.

In this episode we are addressing a topic that many in ministry struggle with but often hesitate to discuss: depression. Depression, or major depressive disorder, is a common yet serious mental health condition that affects millions, including those who serve in ministry. In ministry, the weight of depression can be especially heavy, impacting not just the individual but their families, congregations, and the broader faith community.

In this episode, we’re going to explore why it’s crucial to talk openly about depression in ministry, the unique pressures that make ministry leaders particularly vulnerable, and how acknowledging and addressing these challenges can lead to healthier lives and more effective leadership. Whether you’re a pastor, a leader, or believer impacted by depression in some way, we hope this conversation will shine a light on the importance of mental health.
