"What does it mean to face depression while living out God's calling on your life. Would your friends and family stand by your side?
Mark and Janet were born and raised in the United Kingdom. While living in the UK, Mark served as a police officer for five years followed by seven years as a pastor.
In 2005, in response to a call to pastor a church in Niagara Falls, Mark, his wife Janet, and their five children emigrated to Canada.
Pastoring the church resulted in some good years of seeing growth and restoration within the church; however, Mark began to struggle with a severe medicine-resistant depression. Though he battled, the struggle became overwhelming and Mark was admitted to hospital for medical help. This resulted in a difficult, but necessary decision to step down from his role as pastor.
Unable to function well in any area of employment over these years, Mark describes this time where he felt like he walked into hell and could not find a way out. Throughout it all, his wife, supportive friends and family, and a variety of health professionals provided much-needed support and prayer.
Mark and Janet share with Mark Masri on the podcast today about this season of their marriage and how this time allowed them, Janet in particular, to live out their marriage vows in a powerful way.

Is it possible for a book written nearly 2,000 years ago to maintain its intrinsic and vital impact? Is there a demarcation point when literature is deemed old-fashioned or even archaic?
The book of 1 Peter was written nearly two millennia ago—rarely does a book of that age speak to a current generation of readers. However, the book of 1 Peter is practical, hopeful, and as up-to-date as anything written today.
“Through the living and enduring Word of God.” (1 Peter 1:23)
The stunning component that sets the Word of God apart from other pieces of literature is that the Holy Spirit wrote it. The Bible is divinely inspired by the unction of the Holy Spirit and written on paper through the hands of ordinary men.
The words that the Holy Spirit spoke through Peter, the rock upon which Christ would build His church, so long ago hold dynamicpower for your life today.

"Billie Jauss found herself exhausted from constantly traveling with her husband who was a major league baseball coach. The jet lag was brutal. But she eventually realized that spiritual jet lag was a greater problem. She went through a season of feeling unsettled and uncertain, and chose to simplify her schedule and take control of the chaos but that didn’t solve it all. She realized it wasn’t the external distractions but the emotional barriers producing feelings of discouragement and defeat.
Billie shares on the podcast today how she detoxed from the emotional toxins, realigned her priorities, and created a spiritual health plan, and how she discovered God’s best things.
