There are so, so many Christian songs that sound like they maybe started out as a run-of-the-mill love song before the writer realized that by adding a few references to Heaven, this could work as a pretty decent worship song.

Valentine's Day is the perfect time to put on sit back with your significant others and enjoy some sweet, sweet love songs. There's tons of options to

The fact that it took multiple antisemitic tirades, months of escalating rhetoric and literal N**i admiration to warrant action is a glaring testament to where we are as a culture.

Another day, another Ye headline and somehow, the bar for unacceptable behavior just keeps getting lower. Ye’s latest escapade? A social media tirade that

“History helps us to see patterns — not necessarily to predict the future — but to situate ourselves in the context and understand that everything has a history and maybe by exploring that history, we can navigate the present and the future more effectively,” Tisby explains.

History isn’t just about looking backward. It’s about knowing where we’re headed next. That’s the central idea historian and author Jemar Tisby explores

For starters, you might be the only single friend in the group, but you’re not the only single friend on the planet. Which means you’re in good company.

It happened slowly at first. One by one, your friends started “soft launching” their significant others on Instagram—an ambiguous hand in a restaurant

If our Bible reading is little more than a digital box-checking exercise, then we have to rethink the way we engage with Scripture.

It happens every morning. You roll out of bed, reach for your phone and open your Bible app. Maybe you read a verse or skim a devotional. Maybe you let

If you are going through a dry spell in your quiet time, maybe it’s time to think about different ways you can interact with God’s Word and worship Him in prayer.

Does anyone else ever feel guilty when you don’t “feel” like having quiet time with God? I know I should spend time with God, and not just because my 4th

The Bible is basically one long story about people messing up and God stepping in with grace. So if you’ve fallen flat on your face, here’s what Scripture has to say about getting back up.

Ever wish you could hit rewind on life? Yeah, same. But unless you’ve got a flux capacitor stashed somewhere, there’s no going back to fix the past.

The problem isn’t just that Christian Nationalism distorts Christian teachings—it’s that it reshapes Christian identity altogether. Instead of viewing themselves primarily as citizens of God’s kingdom, many believers have begun to see American citizenship as an essential part of their faith.

This isn’t a minor theological misstep; it’s a fundamental shift that changes how people view salvation, justice and the role of the Church in the world.

A few months ago, a small-town church made headlines for hosting a “patriotic baptism service” where new believers were baptized to the sound of a worship

Social media apps use the same tricks as casinos to keep you scrolling. Here’s how.

Reality dating shows have done something truly impressive: they’ve managed to make modern romance both hyper-strategic and completely unhinged at the same time. And they’ve convinced us that this is normal.

Love used to be simple. Or at least, simpler. You met someone. You got to know them. You went on a few dates, decided whether or not you liked each other

In today’s economy, staying in a job purely out of “loyalty” is more of a financial and professional dead end than an act of virtue. We’re not sabotaging our careers by switching jobs—we’re actually strengthening them.
