5 Top Christian Blog Posts of the Week: 5 to Live By 

5 top Christian blog posts of the week—on depression, sleep, medication, counseling wars, Ken Ham, prayer, and more. 

Counseling Wars? 

Charles Hodges, M.D., doesn’t think the issue of depression and medication is so much about counseling wars between different Christian/biblical counseling groups. Instead, he believes the issue is one of solid research—what does the research tell us about the efficacy of anti-depressants? Read Dr. Hodges’ thoughts in Counseling Wars? I Don’t Think So.

Depression and Sleep 

I don’t usually highlight one author twice in my 5 to Live By, but today I make an exception. Dr. Hodges, who loves to engage research and ponder it from a biblical counseling perspective, does so again in this post. He examines studies about the connection between lack of sleep and depression. It’s well worth reading and you can do so at Depression and Sleep.

Depression, Medication, and Biblical Counseling 

The Biblical Counseling Coalition highlights and links to 5 of my posts on depression. You can read their post and find all those links at Depression, Medication, and Biblical Counseling.

The Creation Debates and Biblical Counseling 

Heath Lambert, the Executive Director of the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors, ponders what biblical counselors can learn from Ken Ham and the creation debate he had with Bill Nye. Read Heath’s insightful thoughts at The Creation Debates and Counseling Wars.

How to Pray 

At the Association of Biblical Counselors’ site, Pastor Kevin DeYoung teaches us how to pray using the 3 R’s. Find out what they are at How to Pray.
