Tapped Out: Pastor’s Job Can Easily Breed Depression

I have been printing articles recently that zero in on depression.  Today’s article wasn’t one I had spent much thought on at all.  The fact is that our Pastor’s do in fact struggle with depression just like the rest of society.  In rare cases, as this article will show,  a Pastor will end his [...]

Will We Be There For Them? Fort Hood, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, And The Church

Martin Luther On Depression

Our Military Is Overwhelmed. Sadly, Many Don’t Take The Enemy Seriously

Yesterday I ran an article about the mental health realities in New Orleans as a result of Hurricane Katrina.  Many of those suffering in New Orleans suffer with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder symptoms.  In fact they are suffering with PTSD.  Today I am running an article that is also quite sobering that deals with this [...]
