      Reading the Bible: What Are You Reading Right Now?
      Jan 24 2026
      Not what you plan to read. Not what you wish you read. What you are actually doing this week. That question matters because this habit is not a one time event. It is steady. It is also one of the fastest places to drift when life gets loud.

    • Christian Faith and Depression: How to Hold Hope in Low Seasons

      Christian Faith and Depression: How to Hold Hope in Low Seasons
      Jan 10 2026
      https://www.uncommen.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Jan-10-1.mp3 The start of a new year is supposed to feel hopeful. Calendars reset. Goals get written down. Language like fresh start and new season fills conversations. But for many men, January does not feel light. It feels heavy. The noise of the holidays fades. Decorations come down. Schedules thin out. And when the distractions disappear, something else shows up. Sadness. Fatigue. A sense of being behind. For men of faith, this moment creates tension. You believe in God. You trust Him. So why does everything still feel so low? This is where christian faith and depression collide in real life. Many men assume that strong belief should cancel out emotional struggle. When it does not, shame steps in. Silence follows. Faith becomes something you perform instead of something you bring your whole self into. Psalm 42:5 speaks directly to this moment. “Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.” This verse does not deny sorrow. It names it. The writer speaks to his own soul, not to impress anyone else, but to tell the truth. He feels downcast. He feels disturbed. Then he chooses hope without pretending the pain is gone. That balance matters when talking about christian faith and depression. God never asked men to fake strength. He invites honesty. When Faith Does Not Remove the Weight Many men enter a new year believing faith should flip a switch. Pray more. Read more. Serve more. Try harder. When the heaviness stays, they assume something is wrong with them. But Scripture tells a different story. David wrote many psalms from places of exhaustion and despair. Elijah collapsed after a great victory and asked God to take his life. Jeremiah wept openly. Even Jesus experienced deep sorrow. Depression is not proof of weak belief. It is part of living in a broken world with a body, a mind, and emotions that feel strain. Christian faith and depression can exist at the same time without canceling each other out. The danger comes when men believe they must hide one to protect the other. The New Year Pressure That Makes It Worse January carries pressure that most men never name. Everyone else seems motivated. Social feeds fill with gym photos, business plans, and spiritual resolutions. Comparison creeps in fast. You look at your life and think: I should be further alongI should feel more excitedI should be gratefulI should not feel this way That word should adds weight. It does not heal anything. For men walking through christian faith and depression, the New Year can amplify shame. You feel like your inner world does not match your outer language. You talk about trust while feeling tired. You quote Scripture while avoiding prayer. You show up at church but keep quiet inside. God is not confused by that tension. He meets you in it. Why Men Numb Instead of Naming the Pain When emotions feel uncomfortable, men often look for ways to quiet them. Work harder. Eat more. Drink more. Scroll longer. Stay busy. Stay distracted. These habits are not random. They are attempts to manage pain without admitting it exists. The problem is that numbing never heals. It delays. And over time, it deepens isolation. Many men dealing with christian faith and depression feel ashamed of their sadness. They believe they should be beyond it by now. So they stop talking. They pull away from Scripture. They avoid prayer because silence feels loud. Avoidance feels safer than honesty. But it creates distance from the very grace meant to carry you. Stillness Is Not Failure After the holidays, life slows down. The calendar opens. Entertainment drops. Noise fades. This quiet can feel uncomfortable. But Scripture calls stillness an invitation, not a punishment. “Be still, and know that I am God.” Stillness reveals what distraction covers. When everything stops, your thoughts get louder. Your heart surfaces things you have avoided. This is often where christian faith and depression show up most clearly. God does not rush this process. He does not demand instant joy. He invites you to sit with Him in the quiet. Jesus and the disciples walked from town to town. Not every day held miracles. Many days were ordinary. Faith was lived in the slow steps between moments, not just in highlights. Low days do not mean wasted days. Depression Does Not Mean God Left One of the most damaging beliefs men carry is that emotional struggle means spiritual failure. If you were closer to God, you would not feel this way. If your faith was stronger, this would pass faster. That belief is not biblical. God draws near to the brokenhearted. He does not withdraw from them. He does not wait for you to feel better before He listens. Christian faith and depression intersect most deeply when you allow God into the weakness instead of hiding it. You can pray honestly. You can say you feel tired. You can admit you feel numb. You can ...
