PP107 I Have a Key Called Promise!

Struggles with depression, doubt, and despair are a somber reality for many of God’s people. If that is your experience, you aren’t alone in walking that dark path.

And where can we find hope to carry on in the darkness?

PP101 Of Course You Feel This Way!

For many of us, our joy can take a hit in January and February. Often we assume that negative emotions are a sign that we have done something wrong in our relationship with God.

For Christians, our negative emotions can actually serve as affirmations of the legitimacy of our faith.
