In this 2025 update, A Christian's Mental Health Guide: For Missionaries, Pastors, and Other Christians, Too is my personal mental health guide.

Scattered across the...

Faith in material surroundings. Faith in a cause. Or, faith that tomorrow will perhaps end better than today. Faith is common. So too, is people’s frustration with it. God perceivably fails you. A friend betrays. A relationship ends. When a person, job or cause lets you down. Faith often carries both hope and despair. The Faith Principle talks about faith’s frustrations when faith doesn’t ...
