Thanks to reader Sandy Slaga for mentioning this podcast called “The Soul in Depression” that you can hear by going to the American Public Media’s series, “Speaking of Faith,” by clicking here.

Here’s a description of the podcast that you can download for free:

Nearly ten million Americans are diagnosed with clinical depression. As a society, we’re increasingly aware of the many faces of depression, and we’ve become conversant in the language of psychological analysis of depression and medical treatment for it. But there is a growing body of literature by people who have struggled with depression and found it to be a lesson in the nature of the human soul. Krista engages some of these voices experiencing a range of varieties of depression and religious perspective.
