March for Life: From Roe v Wade to Ballot Battles with Jeanne Mancini
In 1973, the Supreme Court sent shockwaves across the nation when it ruled that abortion was constitutional. In 1974, the March for Life began with a group of people who believed in the sanctity of every human life leading the charge. They did not intend the March for Life to become an annual event but, today, the March for Life has been going on for 50 years. What began as a small demonstration has become the largest, longest-running, annual human rights demonstration worldwide. According to Jeanne Mancini, President of the March for Life, that annual demonstration contributed to the overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022. We recently sat down with Jeanne to discuss Roe v. Wade, everything that has happened since, and the battles for life that are still being fought in states across the nation

The Pastor's Calling and Challenge: Encouragement from Pastor Allen Jackson
There is no doubt about it — ministry in a post-COVID world is difficult. Churches across the nation are closing their doors permanently. Pastors are exhausted and considering leaving the ministry.

My Truth vs. The Truth: Explaining the Change in Generation Z
Feelings are an important way of thinking. God gave us feelings. But there's a philosophical issue that is at stake. We've tipped as a culture—moving away from seeking THE truth to talking about speaking OUR truth. We've stopped believing that truth is located out there somewhere objectively and in someplace stable where we can find it and orient ourselves to it and thinking that it's all [inside of us].
The Power of Family and Faith in Shaping Society with Abraham Hamilton, III
Marriages and families are under attack in our society. There is no doubt about it. But we have an opportunity and a responsibility as Christ followers, to engage in policy debates and to vote our biblical values so that the institutions ordained by God are protected and sustained for the generations to come.
Empowering the Next Generation with Biblical Truth
Over the last several years, young adults have been leaving the church in droves. This is a concerning trend. It can be attributed to many things, one of which is the cultural shift that reveres feelings over facts. Dr. Jeff Myers of Summit Ministries has dedicated his time to reaching the next generation of adults. We recently sat down with him to discuss the next generation’s spiritual struggles and political involvement.
We’ve Been Given a Stewardship
I think it's important for us to understand that the key biblical category here is stewardship. We're given the stewardship of influence. And in our constitutional system of government, we're given the stewardship of a vote, which means, that the only question is whether our stewardship is faithful or unfaithful. Are we being good stewards or are we failing in stewardship?

If Christians Don’t Act...Who Will?

A Prescription to Kill: A Conversation with Dr. Ingrid Skop
Over the last few years, European countries have conducted high-quality studies linking pregnancy outcomes with deaths. They found that a woman is six times as likely to commit suicide in the year following an abortion than following childbirth. Further data illustrates those countries with strict anti-abortion laws—like Poland—have the lowest maternal mortality rates and almost zero abortions. Meanwhile, the United States has the highest maternal mortality rate. Dr. Skop has been an obstetrician for over 30 years. Throughout her career, she has seen women who have been harmed by abortion, and now, with a dramatic increase in chemical abortions, even more women are being harmed. We can change course and improve our maternal mortality rates, but if we are going to be effective, we must first understand the issue.
