EPISODE 32
Do you feel stuck in survival mode—spiritually weary, emotionally drained, and wondering why nothing seems to be changing even though you’ve been praying?
You’re not alone. Many Christian women quietly carry the weight of depression, feeling defeated, struggling to hold it together, and questioning where God is in it all.
In this episode of Godly Habits, Brooklynn and Dr. Mason Howe walk through the story of Elijah in 1 Kings 19 and share a biblical, whole-person perspective on discouragement. You’ll hear how God meets you in your lowest moments—with care, truth, and renewed purpose—so you can begin to experience peace, hope, and even small glimpses of joy again.
