About this episode
In this episode, I sit down with Brenna Blain for one of the most honest conversations I’ve had on the podcast. We talk about what it really looks like to follow Jesus while still battling mental illness, trauma, and temptation. Brenna shares her powerful story from growing up in church as a pastor’s kid, abuse, same-sex attraction, and deep seasons of depression.
We talk about what it means to suffer well, how motherhood can actually disciple us, and why God’s goodness doesn’t always look like the comfort we expected - yet we hold fast to the promise that God heals always, even if it’s not on this side of eternity. If you’ve ever asked, “Can I still love Jesus and feel this broken?” this episode is for you.
