Thoughts on Spiritual Experience
23 Jan by
I’ve been involved in some good discussions recently on the role of subjective, personal spiritual experiences.

What About Antidepressant Medication?
I’ve been asked to give my view on the use of antidepressant medication, and I assume especially as it relates to the Christian community. I’ve written about growing up with my dad’s severe depression, and I’ve written an entire series on “The Christian and Mental Illness.” I’m currently reading “Darkness is My Only Companion” and [...]
