Here's a Biblical defense against Depression. It's not an exhaustive list and it's not a solution to your problems. The objective is to provide you with examples of real people who faced dire circumstances, going even as far as wanting to die, and how they got out of it. If it's not for you during this current season in life, share it with someone...

A Defense Against Depression

I recently finished up the book The Servant, by James Hunter. In it, he says the main job of the leader is to identify the legitimate needs of their people and meet those needs. Keep in mind that you do not need to have the title to be a leader. Leadership is about influence. If you're a parent, you're a leader. If you're a older sibling, you're a leader, and so on. I created this simple template as a place to jot down the needs of the people you lead.

ACTION: Use this page to identify the legitimate needs of the people under your influence in the areas of faith (ex. church, charity group, etc.), family and career. You can't meet their needs unless you know what they are!
