As we get into Acts 24, why is Paul accused of being a plague and the cause of all that is wrong in the world? And what does it look like for us to boldly hold to the resurrection of Christ while calmly engaging those God has placed in our lives?

Hope UnyieldingDepression and the Comfort of Christ with Bruce Johnson1 in 5 U.S. adults experience mental illness each year, and suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death in the U.S. among those between the ages of 10 and 34. Depression is an epidemic in our culture, yet many suffer in silence. Many Christians, in particular, ashamed that they lack the joy that they feel they should have as a believer. Bruce Johnson brings clarity and light to this issue as he talks about his 40 year-long struggle with clinical depression, the comfort that Jesus has given him through the years, and a message of hope to those struggling.
