The Author Roundup: Jaime Trussell on Finding Hope in the Darkness of Depression

January 16, 2026 • The Book Connection • Season 13 • Episode 7

Mental health statistics continue to rise at an increasing rate, yet the stigma often remains. We talk with author Jamie Trussell about "From Couch to Couch" and the transformative power of the ministry of presence.

Jamie traces his journey from a state of total despair to a life of purpose, highlighting how we can all "sit with others" and watch as God uses that presence to create wholeness. This is a timely discussion on a crisis affecting our culture today.
