I only ask, because if a preacher is going through major depression, maybe he shouldn't be preaching to a bunch of happy people. Does his depression negate the "call of God"? Should he sit and seek council if he is mentally ill?
I know this might be a dumb thread, but in light of some ex pentecostals who obviously had issues, I was wondering if this was Gods way of sitting a minister down.

Should a man who has cancer minister to a bunch of healthy folks?
I'm not sure why you think church is full of happy people, but that's far from the truth, I don't care where one lives or attends church.
And depression isn't a mental illness. Just a mental condition and easily treatable in most cases.
