I decided to re-post this. I deleted it, but was encouraged to put it back up. When it comes to posting my sermons, I hate to do it on my personal facebook page. The flak I get from other Christians for my viewpoints makes me want to just keep things to myself, except for people who really want to get to know me. However, I felt like I had to be transparent on this topic of depression. I use to preach that depression was a choice. If you focused on the right stuff you wouldnt feel depressed anymore. That was ignorant for me to say. For that, I apologize. To preach that kind of nonsense is irresponsible and damaging. Last Sunday I decided to preach about my misconceptions of depression, how emotions (even negative ones) are normal, and how its OK to mourn the passing of a celebrity. For those who struggle with depression, I apologize for my ignorance in the past. I apologize for preaching things only because I heard other people preach it. I apologize for not standing up for you when you were hurting. And, like I said in my original post, please dont argue with me. These are just my views. Im open for discussion but not debate. I will delete comments I feel are hurtful. youtu.be/N0dAlo60J70
