Stoop Theology S1 Episode 8: Can you love Jesus and still struggle with depression?

Breaking the stigma — that loving God doesn’t mean you’re always okay.

The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline connects you to trained crisis counselors 24/7. They can help anyone thinking about suicide, struggling with substance use, experiencing a mental health crisis, or any other kind of emotional distress, or if you are worried about someone you care about who may need crisis support.

To speak with a Pastor or Deacon at Renaissance Church about counseling or other resources, email grace@renaissancenyc.com

For more information, see the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention or the New York State Office of Mental Health

Stoop Theology is a series rooted in honest, thoughtful conversations about real-life questions. From faith and doubt to culture, justice, relationships, and everyday struggles, we explore what it looks like to wrestle with life and belief—like neighbors talking it out on a stoop. Whether you’re deeply rooted in faith, skeptical, or somewhere in between, Stoop Theology is a space for meaningful dialogue about questions that matter.
