Anxiety, Depression, and Jesus

What if the church could be the place where struggling feels safe? In Anxiety, Depression, and Jesus, pastor Aaron Hoover shares his deeply personal journey through anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts—and how his faith in Jesus provided a lifeline when he needed it most. Written with honesty and compassion, this book offers hope for those who feel isolated in their mental health struggles. It challenges harmful stigmas often perpetuated within the church and reminds readers that suffering and faith can coexist. Through biblical insight, practical wisdom, and stories of resilience, Aaron guides readers toward a deeper understanding of God’s unchanging love. Whether you’re personally battling mental health issues, supporting a loved one, or leading a church community, this book will inspire you to step into the healing conversation that so many desperately need.

You''re not alone, you''re not crazy, and there is a God who is with you even in your suffering. For those of us feeling the weight of mental illness, we need more than the hope that our pain will go away. We need hope that even if our pain persists, God is still good, and he promises never to leave us. This book offers that hope.
