Deep Dive | Faith-Based Approaches to Emotional Wellbeing: Faith vs. Therapy – A False Choice

Some believers say, “You don’t need therapy if you have Jesus.” Others say, “Faith isn’t enough; you need professional help.” But what if it’s not either/or?

SOP | The Great Hope: In Defence Of The Truth

The danger wasn’t only outside the church. Some who once walked in light resisted further truth, clinging to their own opinions and pride. Defending truth sometimes means confronting those within our own circles who refuse to grow.

Deep Dive | Faith-Based Approaches to Emotional Wellbeing: The Healing Power of Community

God never designed us to carry emotional burdens alone. Yet, loneliness and isolation remain major contributors to poor mental health. The church, when healthy, is meant to be a sanctuary—a place where people feel heard, held, and healed. But when judgment replaces compassion, community can wound instead of mend.
