We all walk through seasons where the darkness doesn’t lift. You’re praying, reading your Bible, doing the right things—and still, the weight won’t let up. If that’s you—or someone you love—there’s a book I want you to check out. It’s called Overcoming the Darkness by Nate Pickowicz. It looks at spiritual
