Several years ago my wife and I went through a painful and traumatizing experience in our ministry, and it took me a long time to begin to bounce back. For years afterwards I struggled with depression. In fact, it took me about 3 years, Iād say, even to understand what Iād been through, let alone start dealing with it. It feels a little vulnerable admitting that, but perhaps if youāve been through some kind of trauma yourself, you can understand what Iām saying.
