Episode 59: He struggled with depression and suicidal thoughts but God sent an unexpected helper...

Share your thoughts

Many people know about God without actually knowing Him personally. That was Jack Cowart’s story as he grew up in the Catholic church.

Jack also struggled with intense depression in high school. It got so bad during his sophomore year that he decided to commit suicide. While Jack was holding a knife and preparing to slit his wrists, his dad walked in the room and snatched the knife away right in time.

Years later, in college, Jack hit rock bottom and decided to ask God for help with his depression. He had no idea that this quick prayer would be the beginning of his new life. Jack met and married his wife, Kenna, who God sent as a helper on his faith journey. Jack was also completely healed of his depression and able to stop taking medication. He has also discovered that his trial has empowered him to make an impact in the lives of people around him.
