Feeding My Soul: Eating Disorder and the New Age 

What if the biggest battle wasn’t what the world saw—but what you saw in the mirror? Haunted by lies about her worth, Jenn battles the relentless pressure to look perfect, searches for meaning in the New Age, and nearly loses her life to an eating disorder—until she discovers how caring for both body and soul is central to who we are, and embraces the life-changing truth about God, her struggle, and her true identity.

Unconventional Clay: Identity and Depression

Can you find your identity when you feel no purpose? Born without arms and left for dead at birth, Daniel Ritchie endured relentless bullying as a child and constant rejection in every room he walked into. Struggling with depression and identity, he came to the end of himself—until he discovered lasting worth in Christ at a youth group gathering. "Unconventional Clay" is a raw and redemptive mental health film for anyone who feels like giving up. What once felt like a curse now begs the question—could it be a gift?

Bipolar Cannot Stop Me

Can you have faith when your mind is falling apart? When Maggie is diagnosed with bipolar disorder, her world tilts—again. A survivor of childhood abuse, she’s spent years running from her past, never really understanding why bad things happened to her. She’s a devoted Christian, but bipolar disorder and depression don’t care about beliefs. As she battles the storm within, she must face the ultimate question: Can I ever live a normal life? As the highs and lows of her disorder test their marriage, buried trauma resurfaces, threatening to destroy everything. God doesn’t give us a spirit of fear but of power, love, and a sound mind. (2 Tim 1:7)

Depression Rewritten

Can you ever come out of the depths of depression? A once-vibrant newlywed finds herself engulfed in the depths of depression and anxiety after a series of personal tragedies. Struggling to care for her special needs son, Reed, Allison feels like she’s losing herself in darkness. As her mental health deteriorates, Allison feels her faith slipping away. Her husband Ben can use some major support, too. Can this hopelessness narrative be rewritten for the Byxbe family?

Tangled Tired Mind: OCD, Anxiety, & Addiction 

Jon’s life spirals under the torment of anxiety, OCD, childhood wounds, and a marriage on the brink—while his wife, Brett, carries the heavy, unseen weight of loving someone who is struggling. Desperate to silence the noise in his head, he clings to an escape that slowly consumes him—until he cries out to the only One who can untangle his tired mind.
