Melissa Maimone is the author of The Radiant Midnight: Depression, Grace, and the Gifts of a Dark Place and Gathering Dandelions: Meditations and Musings on Faith, Fracture, and Beauty Mistaken for a Weed.

In this episode, Melissa talks about her journey with depression and her struggle with understanding why God didn’t take away her depression after she asked Him to, why she believes we shouldn’t be so quick to look for a purpose for our dark times, why she started her book with a chapter on welcome readers to their darkness, what daylight work and midnight work are, the value in sharing our weaknesses with the world, the gift of surrendering while in your dark place, why we need to become comfortable with silence, and so much more!
