Depression

Experiencing depression goes much deeper that experiencing sadness or doubt. Depression seeps into every part of who you are making it nearly impossible to see hope or relief or any amount of change towards a life that is different. It feels lonely. It feels hopeless. It feels dark and meaningless. So what does our God say about these very real and consuming parts as a result of living in a dark and broken world?

Anxiety

Anxious thoughts are constantly taking up space in our minds. They can easily take over our day to day lives causing us to live on edge and as far away as possible from any sense of peace. But we aren't alone...we all struggle with these thoughts & God is our only and truest source of peace that has truth to speak to our anxiety.

Grudges

We all have situations or relationships that left us in hurt or broken places. Whether we were done wrong by or did the wrong doing....life is full of grudges. The enemy wants us to give into hold pain against those who have done us wrong which keeps us trapped in a cycle of hurt and unforgiveness.

God as Wonderful Counselor

God gives us a number of titles of what Jesus will be and how he will relate to us. And it says that this child will be called Wonderful Counselor. The Christmas season is like a magnifying glass. If you are in a season where things are going well — relationships are solid, business is good, you’re healthy then Christmas is going to magnify those warm feelings. But for others who are battling anxiety, depression, past traumas, conflict in relationships, things in their professional life are struggling — well then Christmas is going to magnify those things as well. So when we hear Jesus being described as a Wonderful Counselor that’s something we all need in very tangible ways.

Christmas Eve: Prince of Peace

It's often hard to come to grips with finding peace in a restless world. How do we find and embrace peace when situations in life seem less than ideal? We start at the character of who God is... He doesn't shy away from our pain or questions and embraces the messiness of us looking for peace while holding our questions and pain in the other hand. God can handle our mess. He embraces it, and us...no matter what. And comes to give us rest and peace.
