Breathing Out the Weight of Depression - Louie Giglio

About this sermon

Pastor Louie leads our House into a new Collection of Talks, titled, ‘Putting an ‘X’ Through Anxiety’. In this talk, Pastor Louie urges listeners to get back in touch with the breath of God—His Spirit. It is breathing IN the truth about God and the actual physical breath that He gives us that ultimately combats the anxiety and depression that ravage our nation. It is in breathing OUT worship and truth that ultimately leads to an offensive attack on the schemes of the Enemy.
