How Perinatal and Postpartum Depression Revealed God’s Omnipresence
Manage episode 407424763 series 3560025
Hello friends and welcome to Episode 3 of The Stained Glass Podcast. I’m your host, Jessica Spurlock. On today’s episode, I’m excited to have our very first guest on the podcast, my sister, Stephanie Taylor.
Stephanie is a mom, a wife, a Christian, a marketing genius, a musical theater lover and performer, and loves The Little Mermaid’s hair (ha!). Stephanie shared with The Stained Glass Podcast a broken piece of her story - perinatal & postpartum depression. We had a very productive conversation about what her experience was and how God revealed to her that He is always there (omnipresence).
I wanted to briefly touch on one of the key messages from my conversation with Stephanie. That message is that you are not alone. There are people who have been through similar circumstances to you and would be happy to come alongside you and support you during this season of your life. Here are some resources that Stephanie shared during our conversation:
24/7 free & confidential support for people in distress:
Suicide & Crisis Lifeline - call/text 988 or visit 988lifeline.org
Lots of great information here, also:
Postpartum Support International
postpartum.net or call 1 (800) 944-4773 *also in Spanish*
In addition to these resources... God is always with you. He will never leave you nor forsake you. He promises us this in his word (Deuteronomy 31:8-9).
I would love to pray for you if you are going through a similar circumstance of feeling alone. You can message your prayer request to me on social media. You can find me on Instagram @thestainedglasspodcast and on Facebook in The Stained Glass Podcast group.
In the next episode, I’ll be telling a personal story of a pressure cooker situation in my life and how God used it to draw attention to a problem area of my health. It’s a special episode with a special message, just for you. It drops in two weeks, which is Valentine’s Day in the US. Until then, this has been Jessica Spurlock with The Stained Glass Podcast. Go be a blessing!
