Spiritual Depression: Its Causes and Cure

Doctrinal basis. A Reformed preacher’s sermons, from the tradition of expository preaching.

Points to weigh

  • ‘Spiritual depression’ here means discouragement in the Christian life, not clinical depression; see a doctor for clinical depression (see Ed Welch’s book on depression elsewhere on this site).
  • Written in the 1950s–60s as sermons; some illustrations are dated.
  • This is pastoral encouragement, not medical care. If you or someone you know is in crisis or danger, call your local emergency number or, in the U.S., call or text 988.
