Not all depression is the result of personal sin, but more of it is than we often care to admit in ourselves and challenge in others.

Here are two thoughts for how CONFESSION is vital to processing in a healthy, holy manner our acute and chronic DEPRESSION from Dr. Ed Welch:

1) "AS YOU WAIT for your faith to grow, you wonder if you can hold on long enough. This brings us to the little-known skill that can speed up the process: confessing your sin. Confession is an accelerant for faith and closeness to God. Notice how human relationships can be brought closer when one person confesses his or her wrong to the other. 'Will you forgive me?' can remove relational distance in a moment."

2) "Sin is not good, but confession of sin is very good. It gives you evidence of God’s goodness, it unloads weights that make depression even more burdensome, and it helps you discern Satan’s lies."

Welch, Edward T.. Depression: Finding Christ in the Darkness (p. 44-45). P&R Publishing. Kindle Edition.

Why does our ministry-no matter how countercultural it becomes-keep "beating the drum" of church attendance, membership, and service?

It is NOT, to project a vibe of:

1) Dismissiveness To The Regular Hurdles In Our Fallen, Busy World

2) Judgmentalism Like There Is Any Intrinsic Merit Earned Or Sustained By It

It is simply to advocate for a sense of reality to interpret/process all of life through the lense of God's "existence, plan, and character" that cannot be palpably experienced on the regular in any other context.

No therapeutic model, lifestyle choice, or extra-biblical/para-church resource can replace it...period.

Not just TO us but THROUGH us to a watching world! Just as the human body is a vehicle by which a person expresses himself to others, so the Body of Christ is the vehicle on earth by which He chooses to make Himself known to the world.

1 Co 12:12 "For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ."

Our wellbeing in ministry depends upon which metrics are ultimate in determining our efficacy as a servant of Jesus.

Choose wisely.

With all the acrimony in the biblical counseling and broader church world right now, this is the tone we need far more of to graciously and firmly displace the "reckless and factitious" tone that is running rampant in our ranks:

We are only as healthy as we are in proximity to the Word.

To get in on everything God is building on planet earth right now that will endure for eternity, you must be healthy...in other words, growing in His Word, not just individually but with other believers in the local church.

2 Pe 2:2, 5 "As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby...Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ."

is back as we enter Fall 2026!

There is a direct correlation between a pastor's time/energy management in the never-ending list of to-do's and his personal and familial wellbeing.

Our ministry does more counseling on this front than almost any other.

Please consider joining other church leaders from across the country for six, every other Tuesday afternoon conversations through this brand-new resource from New Growth Press.

We will start on October 20 at 2 PM Eastern.

To register for free, simply DM or email our ministry at [email protected].

"One of the primary-yet-oft-overlooked ways that Satan attacks in our present world is through pastoral discouragement."

For the sake of everything that is sacred in our homes, ministries, and world, those who serve/those who truly care for those who serve in spiritual leadership in the local church need to give this a listen.
