Mental disorders affect a wide swath of the global population. As mental disorders such as anxiety and depression continue to afflict larger and larger numbers of people, we might ask, “what’s going on?” And for the Christian, how should we view these topics? In this lesson, Nate Bibens provides a generic, Biblical framework and foundation for how Christians can view and deal with some of the hardships of life.
Mary of Bethany isn’t a primary character in the gospel records. She’s only featured in three stories, at least two of which are not primarily focused on her. And there’s only one sentence of Mary’s that’s recorded. And yet, this woman provides us with an incredible example of what it means to be a disciple at the feet of Jesus!

Especially given that one must continue living their life (attending the same school, working the same job, living in the same town), how is it that the Christian is something new? Nate Bibens uses this study to provide some key relationships that should change and become new when a person begins following Christ!

The man known as “the thief on the cross” is only found in a few verses, but his story is well-known. And it’s a beautiful story. A hardened and evil sinner found salvation with Jesus. But frequently, this story is used for one primary argument–to prove that baptism is not essential for salvation. Is that the lesson we should take from the thief’s story? In this lesson, Nate Bibens reviews this wonderful story and offers some reasons why it shouldn’t be relied on as proof against baptism’s necessity under the New Covenant. In fact, it just might be a picture that teaches the opposite of what many people claim it teaches!
