Today’s Guest: Esther Richards

Esther is a part of the student ministry at Frontline Church. She lives in Liverpool with her husband Chris. Esther has an archaeology degree and loves to learn about ancient civilizations. She enjoys spending time with family and friends.

Here’s a summary of this week’s story:

• There are different types of mental health and sometimes mental illness is caused by situations and at other times it's just to do with the chemicals in your brain and the way that your brain is wired. Esther talks about her challenges growing up with mental health issues like anxiety, depression, self-harm, suicidal tendencies etc. and her journey of overcoming it.

• Even though you've always considered yourself a Christian, there's still an element of finding that out for yourself. Especially if you've grown up in a Christian family, there still an element of discovering your own faith and of actually experiencing God. Esther went through that journey too that transformed her life for the better.

• She says, be careful what you pray for because God does answer prayers. And that true freedom isn’t getting to decide what you want to do but knowing you do not need to make these decisions because God is in control and you can trust God with your whole life. He made you and knows what’s best for you. So just trust in Him!

• Other talks about Anxiety.
