When Depression Comes Knocking

Like many of us, Pastor Tommy Nelson had heard of others succumbing to clinical depression but never imagined he’d face this challenge in his own life.  When Pastor Nelson visited Focus on the Family a few months back, I had the chance to meet him and hear first hand about his struggle with depression.  We aired that broadcast in the US back in August and if you know someone who’s facing clinical depression in their family or even in their own life, I’d encourage you to direct them to this link to listen this three day series.  If you are already familiar with the great communicator Pastor Nelson is, click here to hear him tell how he met Jesus Christ.
