Why do bad things happen to good people? Join Walker, Isaiah and Dr. Matthew Sokolowski as they examine "The Problem of Suffering."

One of the saddest things to begin to rise in the past 20 years is the rate of mental health issues, especially among young people. This is not a statistic exclusive to the world, nor is it one we can even pretend to ignore. However, we can often conflate the rising trends with feeling as though it is a new idea, and thus can worry about or even disregard the question of whether or not God spoke about such things. Join Isaiah, Timothy, and Lonnie Jones, a licensed professional counselor, police chaplain and de-escalation strategy tutor, as they discuss, "Mental Health and Suicide."

Join Walker, Isaiah, and Dr. Doug Burleson, Assistant Dean of Biblical Studies at FHU as they discuss, "Pornography, Sex, and Drugs."
