what you’re feeling is real.
You might feel overwhelmed.
Tired.
Numb.
Or like your thoughts won’t slow down.
You might be carrying questions you don’t know how to answer or pain you don’t know how to explain.
What you’re feeling is real and it matters.
you don’t have to have everything fixed today.
When you’re hurting, it can feel like you need to figure everything out all at once. Like you need answers, clarity, or some kind of resolution just to keep going.
You don’t need to solve your whole story today or have clarity about what comes next. Right now, the most important thing is simply taking one step forward.
Staying matters. Even if that’s all you can do right now.
take the next step.
Hope doesn’t usually come all at once. It often begins with small, steady steps.
Here are a few places to start:
talk to someone.
You don’t have to carry this alone. Reach out to someone you trust or connect with a counselor who can walk with you.
let someone in.
Even a simple conversation can begin to break the weight of isolation.
stay present.
Focus on getting through today, not solving tomorrow.
reach out for support.
If things feel heavier than you can carry, it’s okay to ask for help.

a book for adults about anxiety and depression.
For those of us feeling the weight of mental illness, we don’t only need hope that our pain will go away. We need hope that even if it lasts, God is still good. He promises never to leave us, and he’s sovereign over every minute of our pain and difficulty.
In Anxiety, Depression, and Jesus, Aaron Hoover normalizes the relationship between faith and suffering. Aaron is a pastor who has battled anxiety and depression for two decades and is compassionate and empathetic toward the similar experiences of others. If you are suffering—Aaron’s writing is a great reminder that you’re not alone, you’re not crazy, and there is a God who is with you.
a book for kids about worry.
Worry is something we all feel.
Some of us experience it hourly, daily, or weekly. In Matthew 6, Jesus tells us that we don’t need to worry. Sometimes people will respond to our worries by reminding us of this passage. However, Jesus doesn’t simply say, “Stop worrying!” No—he encourages us to trust in his promises rather than focusing on our fears.
Author Aaron Hoover has struggled his whole life with anxiety. “As a kid, I felt like I was wrong for doing so. I felt alone in my struggle. I felt like good Christians shouldn’t worry. And then I realized the Bible shows countless examples of people worrying and God doesn’t condemn them. Instead, he refocuses their thoughts on his goodness and faithfulness.”
As a father of three boys, Aaron’s prayer is that this book gives all kiddos permission to be real about their worries while helping them see hope in God’s promises.
