“Why did God put in His Word 365 times ‘Do not be afraid’? Because He knows we will be.” — Dr. Melanie Wilson

In this vulnerable and hope-filled episode, Lori Lane welcomes Dr. Melanie Wilson, Christian psychologist and homeschool mom of six, to talk about anxiety, depression, and the biblical response to emotional suffering.

Together, they explore how these struggles impact the whole family, why Christian homes often suffer in silence, and how parents can support their children (and themselves) with grace and truth.

Dr. Wilson also shares practical, healing strategies—from redefining our view of mental illness to taking simple, consistent steps toward healing—and why your weakness is not your disqualification, but your opportunity to model real faith.

Key Takeaways:

1. What Scripture teaches us about anxiety and depression
2. How to recognize emotional struggles in your children
3. Creating a home environment where it’s safe to be honest
4. Encouragement for moms who feel like they’re failing
5. Why asking for help is a courageous, biblical act

This is an episode every Christian parent should hear.
