There's an increasing number of men who are dealing with mental health issues, and it's no surprise that these issues seem to surface more and more this time of year.

Tim Bergmann discovered his own battle with depression and anxiety in his early 30s, and while he's found help and healing, it's still something he struggles with today. With Biblical perspective and wisdom, Tim shares some of his struggle and what he's learned along the way.

In this interview, Tim addresses questions like:

• Where is God in all of this?
• What have I done wrong to be struggling with this?

Tim also talks about:

• Overcoming negative thought patterns.
• The difference between being "set aside" and "set apart".
• Some of the fundamental beliefs he had to come back to that gave him hope and strength for moving forward.

Growing up in an atheistic home, Mark Clark struggled through his parents’ divorce, acquiring Tourette syndrome and OCD in his teen years. After his father’s death, he began a skeptical search for truth through science, philosophy, and history, eventually finding answers in Christianity.

Discussing several the issues and questions he addresses in his book, The Problem of God: Answering a Skeptic’s Challenges to Christianity, Mark helps us answer skeptics’ questions and give reason to our own faith, addressing ideas such as:

• Why science and faith are not incompatible with one another.
• Why Christianity is, in fact, a more rational view than secularism.
• Why the Bible can be trusted.

The writer of the letter to the Hebrews said, “See to it that no one misses the grace of God.” Over the centuries much ink has been spilled on the subject of grace. Yet perhaps nothing is as hard to explain as God’s grace. It doesn’t make sense. It’s not fair. It can’t possibly cover over what I’ve done. The best way–perhaps the only real way–to understand it is to experience it. But too often in our churches we’re not getting grace across and grace is not experienced.

Jesus spent more time talking about money and possessions than about heaven and hell combined. But too often we’ve overlooked or misunderstood his most profound teaching on this topic, from his words in Matthew 6. Jesus offers us life-changing investment advice. He actually wants us to store up treasures for ourselves—just not here on earth. Instead, he urges us to store our treasure in heaven, where they will await us, and last forever. We can’t take it with us—but we can send it on ahead!
