For the last several weeks, we have been discussing how to navigate through periods of doubt, despair, and depression, with guests Dr. Gary Habermas and Dr. Alan Noble. For the next two weeks on the Profile, we'll be hearing from Devin Squeri, author of The Doubt Project - A Crisis of Faith, the Battles, and the Answers.

Devin will be sharing his story of how he navigated the tumultuous storms of a terrifying and difficult two-year struggle with doubt and how he found his way back to Jesus.

Devin's story intersects with us here at Watchman Fellowship, not just because of the next two episodes of the Profile, but because when Devin first entered his crisis, he'd attended in person one of our ministry's Atheist & Christian Book Club meetings. Also, one of the first Christian books he'd read during his difficult time was actually one of our own books, The Story of the Cosmos - How the Heavens Declare the Glory of God.

Here on part one, Devin shares how his crisis began. Next week on part two, you'll hear the remarkable conclusion to his crisis and how he returned to Jesus.

Devin Squeri, born and raised in New York, graduated with degrees in Physics and Mathematics from the State University of New York at Albany. His professional journey is highlighted by his founding of a human resources information systems company in 1997. In addition to his endeavors in technology, Mr. Squeri is an active real estate investor, home builder, and land developer. With a master’s in overthinking and a doctorate in New York skepticism, he is deeply committed to rigorous analysis, critical thinking, and the pursuit of truth in all things.

Devin is blessed to be married to Paige, and together they are the parents of four daughters and two Labradors. Their carnival of a family is based in Frisco, Texas—a suburb of Dallas.

Behind proclamations of the Gospel, behind the rigorous apologetic defenses for the Christian faith, behind many of God's chosen servants, and behind those who fiercely opposes Christianity, are many who, despite all outward appearances to the contrary, are struggling with various degrees of depression, anxiety, OCD, and despair.

On this special one-part episode with professor of literature at Oklahoma Baptist University and author Dr. Alan Noble, we discuss navigating through seasons of depression and despair. Alan shares with us wisdom, practical experience, and candid honest reflections about wrestling with difficult mental health struggles as a professor, father, husband, and Christian.

We talk about his short but very candid and encouraging little book On Getting Out of Bed - The Burden & Gift of Living. For more on Alan and his work, visit his website OAlanNoble.com.

If you or someone you know is struggling with depression, anxiety, or despair, seek help. The darkness is not the end of your story. You can call the 988 lifeline if you need someone to talk to. While the helpline is not specifically Christian, it is still a helpful resource if you are in need.

Deserts can be forbidding even deadly but they are also beautiful and needful for our earthly sojourn. At some point in our lives as Christians, we too will pass through the harsh and arid terrain of a spiritual wilderness. How do we navigate our way through it?

Thankfully, there are many faithful men and women of God who have passed through such a wilderness and offer to us their cairns and memorial stones of how Jesus led them through it and out of it.

On this week's episode of Apologetics Profile, resurrection scholar Dr. Gary Habermas continues to share with us his years of practical and pastoral advice and counsel in helping believers navigate through seasons of doubt. If you or someone you love is passing through a desert wilderness of doubt, you definitely don't want to miss this week's broadcast.

See the link in Gary's name below for his books on doubt.

Dr. Gary Habermas has dedicated his professional life to the examination of the relevant historical, philosophical, and theological issues surrounding the death and resurrection of Jesus. His extensive list of publications and debates provides a thorough account of the current state of the issue. He has written 50 books about half of which are on the subject of Jesus’ resurrection. He has also contributed more than 90 chapters or articles to additional books, and over 200 articles and reviews in journals and other publications. In recent years, he has been a visiting or adjunct professor at about 15 different graduate schools and seminaries in the United States and abroad. Dr. Habermas is a Distinguished Research Professor of Apologetics and Philosophy. He is married to Eileen and they have seven children and 11 grandchildren.
