Why would a pastor take their own life? In this article we cover five different areas that can negatively impact the mental health of pastors.
How does an agnostic's journey lead to true faith? On this week's episode we talk with Phil Blount about his new book, The Crappy Christian Life. Phil Blount was the picture of a miserable Christian for much of his adult life. But ask him how he is today and he'll probably answer, "I'm so good I make myself jealous!" Walk with him through the journey from agnosticism to faith, then from chronic depression to a relationship with God that provides deep and abiding peace and satisfaction.
Have you ever been troubled by your thoughts? Maybe you know what it is like to be burdened by chronic worry, fear, despair, or anger. Sometimes our minds can feel like a battleground. However, as a Child of God, we don’t have to let negative thoughts live “rent free” in our minds. In fact, the Bible talks about taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ (see 2 Cor 10:5). In this article, we will walk through the steps to kick troubling thoughts to the curb.
