When Parental Sadness Feels Overwhelming - Here's What You Need to Know

Feeling overwhelmed by sadness as a parent? You're not broken. You're human. In this video, we explore Christian parenting, faith and emotions, and how sadness can actually be a doorway to spiritual growth and healing. Many Christians are told sadness is a sign of weak faith, but Scripture tells a very different story.

We'll walk through:
Healthy vs. unhealthy sadness
How Jesus, David, Elijah, and Job modeled emotion
The Jeremiah 17 tree analogy and what your emotional “fruit” reveals
What the 3D Gospel Response is and how it transforms your sadness
When to seek help through Christian therapy
Why parental sadness doesn't disqualify you—it deepens your authority

This isn’t just biblical insight—it’s practical help for Christian parents navigating emotional overwhelm, parental burnout, and even signs of depression.
