This month's Legacy is invaluable. The "heavy cloud" of depression is something that is painfully common in today's world. Stats tell me that more than 30% of all teenagers will deal with some form of depression before they reach adulthood, and the percentage of adults suffering from this debilitating disease is significant also.
So, whether you're working with teenagers, volunteers, college or adult individuals, be sure to listen to these resources, because they will be helpful. You'll also want to listen to the resource, "Facing Depression As A Leader," something I know about personally and is so a really common challenge, especially for those of us in ministry. It's a great topic, be sure to listen in.
Lovingly,

While I don't need encouraged to take a vacation, Charles Spurgeon's quote, "When fatigue walks in, faith walks out," reminds me of the importance of one. Trying to juggle the demands of ministry can be grueling.
