Welcome!

There is no doubt that life in today’s world is challenging. Do you feel overwhelmed, stressed, or confused? Are you carrying burdens that seem too hard to bear? Do you need encouragement for life? Please be assured you are not alone. I know living in this world can be hard and lonely. Our blessings can be overwhelmed by trauma, mental illness, loss, disabilities, grief, illness, etc.  I have experienced pain in my life, too. But, thanks be to God, He brought me through the valley. And He can do the same for you!  In God’s Corner Ministry exists to offer encouragement along the way.

I recently entered my 60s, but it’s only been the last 10 years or so that I’ve grown confident in the purpose God has for me. I would never have found it if I had not gone through childhood trauma, struggled with a mental illness, worked through relationship challenges, and finally, at the age of 40, entered the world of recovery. Shortly after, I wrote a book called In This Corner: Battling Depression from Inside the Ring.* That book was the inspiration for In God’s Corner Ministry.

*See my Writing page for information on a new, updated version of my depression workbook with a new name!  In This Corner: Battling Trauma and Mental Illness from Inside the Ring.

Mission & Vision

Mission:  In God’s Corner Ministry will offer encouragement for life in a complicated world. This is accomplished by emphasizing the hope, transformation, and victory we have in our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Vision:  In God’s Corner Ministry desires to see the Christian community take the lead in offering education and encouragement related to mental illness for those living with mental health conditions as well as their families and friends.

This ministry includes my writing, a weekly podcast, and speaking. I hesitate to use “Caroline S. Cooper” as my ministry name because I need the reminder every day that the mission and vision are not about me and my work. It is about the Lord and His work!  Using the name, In God’s Corner, also reminds me that I am not alone. God is always with me, even when I don’t feel Him near. He always loves me, even when I think He’s distant. And He always forgives me, when I fall on my knees in repentance. God is good, even when the world is not.

Encouragement for Life

Join me in encouraging and being encouraged!

Through my writing, podcasting, and speaking, I hope to fulfill the mission God has put in my heart. It is my prayer that the posts and information you find on this website will be a source of encouragement and support whether you live with a mental health condition, love someone with a mental illness, or work hard as a mental health professional. Or, maybe you’re just interested in the topic. Fantastic!

Let’s work together to be encouraging and encouraged. I welcome your questions, suggestions, and comments!
