As we wrap up the topic of depression in The Gospel According To Mental Health series, we give final thoughts on depression and come to understand the single best way to cope with it.

The Bible is not relevant to today’s issues, right? Wrong. Many people in our world experience depression, but God cares about how we feel and sees us in our moments of darkness.

There is room for them to talk about depression and find encouragement and he...

Mental health is a growing issue in our world, particularly among Gen Z.

It’s been said that living in bitterness and unforgiveness is like drinking poison, hoping it will kill the person we’re mad at. The reality is — it only does damage to us.

Many of us know what it means to receive God’s forgiveness for our sins theologically and even how to practically forgive others. One of the hardest challenges is learning to forgive ourselves and see ourselves as God sees us. We talked about that.
