It took me three sittings to get through Nefarious, the Christian horror film recently released by Chuck Konzelman and Cary Solomon, starring Sean Patrick Flanery and Jordan Belfi. I was curious about this artistic endeavor both as someone who appreciates the power of story and as someone who grew up around demonization. If you’ve heard …
Have you noticed the assault on our humanity is escalating? It happens through abuse, cultural influences, education, technological advancements, medical coercion, and political messaging. This is significant not just from a biological or practical day-to-day level, but from a spiritual and eternal perspective as well. I may do a second part of this that talks …

“I feel like the entire country is emotionally burnt out,” my friend told me. I laughed because she’s 100% right. Resources are flying around like crazy, so here are some resources for your spirit. “This is my comfort in my affliction, For Your word has given me life.” – Psalm 119:50 NKJV “It is the …

I expect the world to get swept up in hate and judgment, but when the redeemed of the Man who said “love your enemies” lay down their crosses to pick up swords, something is wrong. Do you feel your government is oppressing you, or behaving ignorantly? Jesus: “You have heard that it was said, ‘You …
“Oh turn to me and have mercy on me!
