In 1975 when the Khmer Rouge took over Cambodia, Dareth Ly was 7 years old. He spent most of the next 4 years in a work camp, barely surviving starvation and torture. When he landed in the U.S. as an orphan, he forced himself to forget everything about Cambodia. He knew he would never go back. But God can take what others meant for evil and turn it for good. (Caution for parents: this story contains episodes of violence and is not appropriate for children.)

Page 84: Lydia Laird: Depression, Anxiety and Dealing with Shame (From the Archive)
For years there has been a stigma around issues of mental health, including in the Church. For many of us, we assume depression and anxiety are issues we can fix, if we just read the Bible or pray more. Lydia Laird knew God was calling her to write and perform music about her faith, but she was struggling with depression, anxiety and panic attacks. For much of her life she carried shame because she just couldn’t fix it.
