An episode of Conversations with Christians Engaged — a podcast dedicated to helping believers continue walking in faith while navigating the muddy ways of politics and culture.

This week, Conversations with Christians Engaged continues the series, “Messengers: Live from the NRB Conference,” featuring insightful interviews with influential Christian leaders who inspire biblical action across generations.

In this episode, Kris Vallotton of Bethel Church in Redding, California, opens up about his deeply personal battle with mental illness — including his two nervous breakdowns, suicidal thoughts, and his long road to healing. Vallotton’s new 40-day devotional journal, Deliver Us from Evil, was born from that journey, offering hope, practical tools, and spiritual truth to those struggling with fear, anxiety, and depression. Discover how renewing your mind — scientifically and biblically — can lead to real transformation, and how God’s healing touches body, soul, and spirit.
