Even after giving her life to Jesus as a teen, getting married in the church, and helping her husband pastor three thriving congregations—Valerie Flores found herself battling something she never expected to follow her into salvation: depression.

In this powerful and raw episode of the Gen Lit Podcast, Valerie shares her journey through hidden struggles, overwhelming depression, and the pressure of silently suffering while serving. 

As a pastor’s wife and mother, she felt she had to stay strong—but inside, she was unraveling…

This episode will speak to anyone who has ever wondered why they’re still struggling even while doing all the “right” things. It confronts the silent weight many believers carry, offers hope to those who feel stuck in a cycle of emotional darkness, and reminds us that freedom is possible—and closer than we think.

If you’ve ever questioned your faith because of your feelings… this is for you.

If you’ve ever feared being honest about your mental health in church… this is for you!

If you’re desperate for healing but don’t know where to start… THIS IS FOR YOU!

Watch until the end—you’ll find answers, encouragement, and most importantly, a real reminder that depression is not your future.
