- How Can a Godly Person Be Depressed - I Thought Christians Were Supposed to Be Joyful All the Time?! #209 #Depression #HopeSome people have the false idea that a Christian is incapable of being depressed. This idea vanishes upon a close examination of Scripture and church history which shows that saints like King David, Paul the apostle, Moses, Elijah, Jeremiah, Charles Spurgeon, Job, Hannah the intercessor and many others struggled with despair and depression. Can a Christian be depressed? Absolutely. Is there hope? Beyond a shadow of a doubt!36 min
- Why did God choose a cowering weakling to lead His Army!? #208
The Israelites are in big trouble. The nation of Midian - far larger and mightier - keeps invading and taking their food, burning their crops, and taking their cattle. Israel is powerless to resist them, so they turn from their idolatry and cry out to God for help. God raises up Gideon - the youngest man in the weakest family in Israel. Why?!

- How Does The Gospel Transform People and Society? #207
Human kingdoms come by force and power, human philosophies take hold by coercion, rhetoric, charisma and brilliance, but not so with the Word of God. The Gospel - the message by Jesus and about Jesus - does not come by coercion or force like a boulder or grenade, but it comes with transformative and organic power like a seed. How does the Word of God bring change, and why is that change more powerful than any sort of human change?

- Why Did Jesus FIRST Forgive The Paralytic? (Instead of healing him) #205
A dramatic scene in Mark 2 - 4 friends of a very ill paralyzed man cut a hole in the roof and lower this man down in front of Jesus, hoping that the Master will heal their friend. Jesus, however, does something remarkable and surprising: He forgives the sins of he paralytic. Why does Jesus do this FIRST?

- Why Did Jesus Often Withdraw to Lonely Places By Himself - Was He an Introvert? #204
Jesus - on the most important mission in the history of missions - and able to heal and cure all who were hurt, sick or dying - had the habit of withdrawing to lonely/deserted places in order to pray and seek His Father. Did Jesus simply do this because He was introverted and needed a break, or is something deeper at work here?
