5.21 BONUS | An Interview with Wendy Speake on Depression

This week we get to hear Wendy Speake share how God has lead her through her journey of depression. My hope is that her story, as well as my own, will remind you of God's faithfulness and His goodness even in those hard places of our lives.

Wendy is a bestselling author and speaker. She's also a dear friend. We've co-hosted the 40-Day Sugar Fast that she has taken the lead on and thousands of women have come to know the freedom and the fullness in Jesus. You can find her on Instagram at @wendy_speake

If you are battling suicidal thoughts, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: (800)273-8255

Am I getting enough sleep?
Am I having too much caffeine?
Am I eating too much sugar?
Am I getting enough exercise?
Am I eating enough protein?
Have I spent time in the Word today?
