Suffering is deeply personal yet transformed through Christ’s own personal suffering, and endured through honest communion with God as we hope in Jesus. In every kind of suffering—even the kind that terrifies us—God is sovereign, wise, and good, and therefore we can submit to His loving will. God uses suffering to sanctify us and to teach us how we can overcome our fears through biblical practices...

Scripture makes the point that we are body and soul, not body, soul, and spirit. Dr Wilde will help us to understand that psychology itself is a theological study. When we speak about psychology, we are speaking about our thoughts, affections, and the causes of our actions — but that is also our “spiritual” life. Much of what we describe as “psychology” is, in fact, our “spiritual” life. Spiritual...

When your evaluation of yourself, your sin, and your circumstances are misaligned with God’s view, you don’t live with the comfort and motivation Christ offers.  Scripture teaches that we are saints in g...
