A Hopeless Bunch
A former Chicago radio producer and friend of mine has established quite a reputation for alerting us to the myriad of ministry leader “missteps” surfacing in recent years. On one hand, it’s important for us to be aware of such mistrusts and to know that we must never elevate anyone in ministry beyond what they are: human vessels intending to accomplish what God has apparently called them to do.

By Alyssa Sonnenburg   |   07.10.24
Love Life is a pro-life organization that is dedicated to mobilizing the church to create a culture of love and life that will end both abortion and the orphan crisis. In just seven years, Love Life has seen over 192,000 people mobilized into action, partnered with over 1,100 churches, and saved over 5,700 babies.
Samaritan Ministries: A Biblical Healthcare Option
By Alyssa Sonnenburg   |   07.09.24
Everyone knows that health insurance is difficult to navigate. Between limitations on doctor networks and deductibles, families often struggle to find the plan that is best for their family, especially for those whose jobs do not provide healthcare coverage. This leaves many families with anxiety over what plan to use and whether their unexpected medical bills will be covered.
Demise of the Administrative State
By Thomas Hampson   |   07.08.24
Despite the seemingly mundane nature of regulations, the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision to overturn Chevron Deference is poised to have a profound impact on our daily lives. This decision will touch each and every one of us, shaping our daily experiences and interactions.
Dragging Your Kids Down With Them: Part 3
By Ecce Verum   |   07.05.24
Over the last couple articles, we discussed the rationale for the peculiarly odd wickedness known as drag. In what possible worldview does it make sense? That worldview is known as queer theory, a philosophy dedicated to overthrowing traditional sexual norms. Queer theory teaches that different kinds of sexual activity exist on a hierarchy, and that sex is a malleable social construct. 
Separation of Church and State
By Rev. Thorin Anderson   |   07.04.24
I heard of a man who was tired of having gasoline stolen from his garage, so he poured sugar into his gas can and waited. Sure enough, a few days later he heard there was a young man from the neighborhood  looking for a new engine. Gasoline engines are not designed to burn sugar!
Confused About Patriotism
Would you agree with this statement: “Patriotism is a hot button issue in schools.” My personal reaction is, “You’re kidding!!” Well, maybe in the late 1700s.
The Reality of Social Media Part 3: BeReal
By Kenna Rose   |   07.02.24
Even though social media isn’t yet 50 years old, warnings against it have become a bipartisan concern. But it’s also a huge part of our world, used by many people to connect and businesses to engage with their clientele. For parents especially, it can be stressful to figure out how to monitor their children’s use of social media and let’s face it, it can even be difficult for adults.
Divided? Or Not So Much?
By Thomas Hampson   |   06.29.24
Regardless of their claimed party affiliation, average Americans are more unified in their opinions than it might appear. It doesn’t seem that way when we watch the news or read the paper, and sometimes even when we discuss issues one-on-one. An outside observer might even think we are hopelessly divided.
Dragging Your Kids Down With Them: Part 2
By Ecce Verum   |   06.28.24
Last time, we pointed out the abnormally odd wickedness of drag queens and we asked the question: Why this? What possible worldview advocates for a man, dressed like a woman, wearing freakish makeup, and reading a sexually deviant book to third graders? Our search for the answer took us on a brief trip through queer theory, the philosophy committed to destroying traditional sexual ethics.
Inclusivity: The Death Word of the Modern Era
Who among us wants to feel “excluded?” From the time we are children we want to be picked for “the team.” As teens, there is a longing to be part of a clique—the inner circle that sets you apart from the masses. 
Parents Matter
By David E. Smith   |   06.28.24
Earlier this month, the California State Senate passed a bill prohibiting schools from notifying parents if their child wants to use a different name and pronoun at school. The passage of this secrecy bill not only usurps parental rights but also fosters an "us versus them" mentality,
American Heritage Girls: An Alternative to Girl Scouts
By Alyssa Sonnenburg   |   06.27.24
Near the end of May, we discussed Boy Scouts and their name change to “Scouting America.” In the article, we excitedly highlighted Trail Life USA as the Christian, conservative alternative to Boy Scouts. Unfortunately, within scouting, the influence of the left is not limited to the Boy Scouts. Girl Scouts, too, has been infected with a liberal agenda.  
Tamela’s Story
By Alyssa Sonnenburg   |   06.26.24
Women are often told that abortion is their only option if they wish to pursue a career or get an education. “You will never have a career if keep your baby.” “You will never finish college if you choose to have your child.”
Decoupling Schooling from the State
06.22.24
On July 27 [2023],, I went to a forum hosted by Americans for Prosperity, focused on fixing the deep problems in K-12 schooling. I had been asked to come and present my perspective by the organizer of the event, even though he knew I opposed one of the three proposals his organization was supporting.
