How do you climb out of performance-based striving, depression, feelings of worthlessness?  When I in high school, I achieved great things by getting straight A’s,  ranking third in my class, and earning a spot on the All-State Orchestra. In college though, everything that created my identity collapsed, and I plummeted into deep depression. It is only by God’s grace I survived, meditating on Psalm 139. Come hear how God redeemed my brokenness, in this week’s episode. 38-Weary from Performance-Based Striving? Three ways Psalm 139 Transforms Your Mindset
