Depression

Desolation: A condition of extreme emptiness, hopelessness, sadness, devastation.

Can you relate?

During times of desolation, whether in life (e.g. loss of job, home, relationship) or in your internal world (e.g. burnout, dark night of the soul), hope feels elusive. Over the next five days, we will explore what perpetuates desolation, meet others in Scripture who experienced it, and learn ways to move towards more fullness and hope.

Beyond Desolation: What to Do When You Have Nothing Left

Jesus cares for each and every one of us, and he invites you and me to bring to him our worries and anxieties of the world and lay them at his feet. In this plan, we will look at how casting our care and trusting God can help improve your overall mental health and well-being. 

Cast Your Care

I dedicate this devotional to my late friend and mentor, Loverna, who lived her life according to Biblical wisdom about the age-old problem, known as aging. In 2021, the global anti-aging market was valued at 62 billion U.S. dollars. The average American spends $15,000 in their lifetime. Together lets change this aging mindset. 

Aging Gracefully  According to God's Plan

The Bible is full of stories about people who try to live to God's glory - with ups and downs. Elijah is such a man. He is a prophet who serves God wholeheartedly, but is also prone to despondency and depression. He confronts the king fearlessly, but flees from the queen. And in all this, God continues to care for His servant.

Elijah. Man of Courage, Man of Faith, Man of God.

My job as a hospital chaplain has taught me a lot about what grief is—how it operates, how it affects us, and how it isolates those who suffer from it. In this devotional, we’ll talk about what it means to grieve. As you mourn your loss in the ways that come naturally to you, don’t limit yourself to the following few days. Take as long as you need.

In a world where depression and anxiety abound, what is our option for joy? Is there really an abundant life? Can we really walk in a peace beyond all understanding? Join Roxanne as she shares her journey to overcome her anxious heart and walk in a peace tethered to the character and faithfulness of God, and not to people, events or circumstances.

Stop, Drop and Worship

Whether we suffer emotional or physical wounds, forgiveness is the cornerstone of the Christian life. Jesus Christ experience all kinds of unfair and unjust treatment, even to the point of a wrongful death. Yet in his final hour, he forgave the mocking thief on the other cross and his executioners.

Forgiving Those Who Wound Us

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9 – This verse is lovely on a coffee mug, but how lovely is it when you need to apply it in real life? Over the next six days I pray you experience a flicker of light: hope in the darkness.
