Sanctus Real on Depression in the Church and the Power of Hope

In this deeply honest and hope-filled episode of Crosswalk Talk, the members of Sanctus Real join Michael to share the heart behind their latest music and ministry—particularly a recent live concert inside the walls of Grafton Correctional Facility. With nearly 30 years in Christian music, Sanctus Real is still discovering new ways to live out their mission—and their vulnerability about faith, mental health, and what hope really looks like makes this conversation one you don’t want to miss.

“Jesus doesn’t bring us hope—He is our hope.” – Dustin Lolli

The band reflects on:

- What it was like to perform inside a maximum-security prison
- How they prepared spiritually and emotionally for a unique audience craving hope
- The story behind their new single “The Difference”—a powerful anthem of belief in Jesus
- Why sadness and depression may be hitting harder—even in churches—and what the Church can do about it
- How social media and cultural noise impact our sense of peace, purpose, and hope
