There are days when life is difficult and the world is a dark place. It can be overwhelming. It's important to realize that mental illness is not a sign of weak faith. Pastor of Care & Counseling Linton Lundeen sat down to speak with us about mental health and the role faith plays in strengthening our mental health and overcoming mental illness. Hear how God addresses mental illness in scripture and shows us that prayer, scripture, faith and our "faith communities" are keys to the renewing of our minds and healing of our spirits.

John Berglund has the best job! John gives tours of Israel and sat down with us to share fascinating details of walking where Jesus walked. His knowledge of Masada, Ein Gedi, the Dead Sea and other sites, proving Biblical accounts found in scripture, is unmatched. John gave us deep insight into sites we've only read about in the Bible. Enjoy this rare first-hand, spiritual journey and hear what it's like to stand at Golgotha and look up from the Mt. of Olives where Jesus ascended into Heaven.

Our bodies and minds are vulnerable to things of this world. They are also to reflect the image of God. Nothing highlights our human-ness like struggles with addiction and recovery. Statistics show that 1 in 7 Americans experience substance abuse. It is important to realize that addiction is a disease that can be treated. Recovery is possible with faith-based treatment. Dr. David Kaptain explains how addiction affects family dynamics and the importance of faith in overcoming addiction.
