Jon Jorgenson | – Dealing with Depression | Jon Jorgenson


In this 7 minute sermon, I talk about the difficult topic of depression. A lot of people try and tell us that if we truly believed in God, then we could never become depressed. In this video, I talk about why that’s a lie, as well as answer some of the most pressing questions about both clinical and other forms of depression. How to deal with depression. How to over come depression. For those living with any form of depression, this video should be an encouragement for you.

  1. This was right on time as I've been battling my own personal/medical issues which have led to depression. Thank you for being a true testimony and witness of God and His love! May your life be overflowing with blessings from above!!!

  2. Thank you Jon for having a discussion about depression that actually is understanding of what depression really is. A lot of videos on depression have a biased or stereotypical view without even trying to. I wish this video had existed years ago when I was struggling to feel like a good christian after being diagnosed with severe clinical depression.

  3. I remember a psych telling me I was depressed cos I didn’t kno wat was worrying me yet I told her I was worried bout something but refused to say wat. Wen I got another psych I made a comment which implied wat that fing was. This was 6 years later. I was closed up since a certain time in my life. I was told I have PSTD.

  4. I'd love a video on living with depression, the church is so always about cure defeat resist. It is so hard to open up because everyone wants to join the fight, but the day is split (figuratively speaking) between eating working playing and shopping, what about living daily life? Sometimes it's time to be in winter, sometimes it's time to grow in things you can't negotiate, sometimes you live partially deaf/legally blind/wheelchair bound (again figuratively speaking). What about when you're staying there (as far as you can tell)? Not talking about settling, talking about playing basketball even while you're disabled, and then you're going home with that. The healthy thing is to be open to an outrageous miracle, but there's very good reasons that the doctors will give you the worst case scenario, as the Scout motto goes "be prepared". And without that warning, how would you know what to pray about? People get mad at the guy who scouts ahead as if they were victorious based on faith alone. It takes a team to fail forwards successively. Somedays you even get beyond failure, all in a day! That's why I get it about audacious love, digging deep to go all the way. #rantover
    I (sometimes) wish I had Jon's gift, but I'm the generous volunteer extra, a very quiet rat scuttling back and forth where needed. #ratzrule

  5. Some depression is caused by your environment and diet too. Other types of depression could be your lack of sleep on a regular basis. Sleep deprivation has been proven to cause depression and anxiety. If you suffer from sleep deprivation depression, change your job! Then the third type would be clinical and that is a definite medical condition. Sometimes inherited from a parent. Even with the medical condition you can do things in addition to the medications to lessen it by diet, exercise and getting sunlight on a regular basis. God does cure people of this from time to time and sometimes not. My sister-in-law was a victim of depression and anxiety before salvation and was never troubled by it after becoming saved.

  6. Thank you for your diligent video production. May God be with you and bless you abundantly. Please pray for my friends and I as we make YouTube videos and that many more people will be inspired to make edifying content for YouTube.

  7. I was depressed all last year bc my friendships were falling apart and I was getting bullied I felt all alone I waned to Kill myself and stared self harming I hard mysel I had terrible self esteem and I’m still in therapy bc of this and last year at the beginning of May I went to impaitent nobody knew I was struggling my family relationships were not the best I was still embarrassed. For having autism it hurt very deeply

  8. Jon this just popped up randomly in my suggested videos. Literally just a few hours ago I received a medical diagnosis of having major clinical depression and a lot of these questions went through my mind including the one of if I was a "good Christian" after all. PLEASE never stop making these videos because God is definitely using them ♡

  9. This was excellent advice. I highly recommend the book “Depression the Way Out” by Dr. Neil Nedley I was depressed for 12 years and this book helped me tremendously. I gives all the causes, the science, psychology and various therapies/lifestyle changes to help

  10. 🙂 Can you please make a video on how to find and enjoy the pure and holy and perfect love of Jesus Christ? I'm a Christian struggling with joy and mental instability because it's so hard to find these things and keep them.

  11. I know this is an old video but I am a new subscriber and I just want to thank you for this video. I struggle with depression and it's really refreshing to hear another Christian being understanding and uplifting about it without putting on the shame or pressure. Thank you for covering this topic and for being so awesome about it!

  12. See I don't know how to describe this but I go weeks to months without emotions and have for a long time now I just don't feel things like other people (I am a teen and it's strange to see people who are all over the place with their emotions and I am sitting there like ok what is going on…. I know I struggle with anxiety took almost 5 year to figure that one out. And since them have been looking into stuff such as mental illnesses. I want to be a counselor and help people see the hope that is there. I am a Christian and I have no idea how people for this without God. For me I can still feel God working even without emotions it's hard to explain. It's very annoying when it is a physical reaction that I can not stop.

  13. Over the past 5 years I had started to have progressively pull away into a downward spiral of depression. But now w ith this depression treatment “fetching kafon press” (Google it) I can totally concentrate my energy and thoughts into a decisive line on how to make my entire life better constantly. I`m happy and savoring numerous social actions..
