Anxiety, Fear, & Depression Throughout the Bible (And How to Overcome Them as Christian Women) | Emotions & God Bible Study
Season 3

Does Jesus understand depression?

How can God help us when we are anxious or afraid?

In today’s Christ-centered Bible study for women, we continue our Emotions & God series by exploring the heavy realities of anxiety, fear, and depression — and what Scripture says about overcoming them.

In a world that feels overwhelming, anxiety and depression are at an all-time high. But these struggles are not new. Throughout the Bible, we see faithful men and women wrestle with deep sorrow, fear, and emotional distress — yet God met them in it.

So how do we overcome anxiety and depression as Christian women?

And did Jesus ever experience emotional anguish?

In this powerful episode, we open Scripture to see how Jesus experienced grief, sorrow, and intense anguish — and how He trusted the Father through it. You’ll walk away with Biblical encouragement and practical steps to build an action plan rooted in faith, not fear.
