So I encourage you to go as this is an important topic for the church in the 21st Century. Speaking of … [Read more...]

Also, Amy Simpson has released her moving book Troubled Minds - Mental Illness and the Church's Mission which is now featured on the Patheos Book Club. May has been declared Mental Health Awareness Month, and … [Read more...]

These should only be present during the mood episodes, and are supposed to be consistent with the mood state rather … [Read more...]
