Surviving the Winter Blues

Surviving the Winter Blues

January 14, 2019 | Matthew Morken


Depending on which website you check, the number of people who struggle with “holiday blues” and/or “winter blues” is staggering. How do we survive these seasons? Is it OK for a Christian to be sad? This time of year can be complicated because of the loss of loved ones or family situations. As a result of these realities we sometimes don’t find the joy and peace of which many believers speak.

We continually talk about the power of God and His sovereignty but we, as believers, can still struggle with happiness in the post holiday and winter season. In this podcast Matthew Morken, Randyl LaMaack and Steve Schoepf discuss this battle that many of us face. We don’t have all the answers but we discuss priorities, preparing one’s heart and even exercise!
