Finding Jesus Through Hopelessness with Sha'terika Perkins

Welcome back to another episode of the Stay Salty Podcast! I am so excited to share the last episode of 2024 with you guys today!

Today I am talking with my Young Life mentor Sha'terika Perkins. She has an incredible story about how she found Jesus and her battle with depression. I hope she impacts you just as much as she has impacted me!

Trigger warning: this podcast episode includes topics of suicidal ideation and depression. If this topic causes distress, I would recommend listening to a different episode or another faith-based podcast. If you or someone you know needs help, call the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988.

Topics of this episode include:

- How Sha'terika became a Christian during her college years and the challenges of it

- How she has battled and endured depression as a Christian

- The idea and theology behind suffering as a Christian

- How we as Christians can share the Gospel with someone who is battling with their mental health

- And so much more!
