This Week's Recommendations

  1. Where abortion policies stand nowJoe Carter explains the impact of last week’s votes, “We need to engage sympathetically with Americans who harbor reservations about stronger restrictions, understanding their concerns while making a compelling case for protecting life. This requires developing more nuanced and persuasive arguments that can reach beyond our existing base of support.”

  2. Finding Jesus in Aisle 3Allana Walker explains what God taught her as she worked retail, “Disappointment settled on my heart as I straightened up and scanned the toilet, checking for missed spots. I had pursued graduate studies to escape minimum-wage jobs, and yet here I was ten months out of grad school, still working a part-time retail gig to pay my bills while I established myself as a writer and editor.”

  3. Love your ‘good kid’ enough to show them they are badJimmy Needham shares, “As a father of five, I’m increasingly concerned about my kids’ behavior. Not their bad behavior. Their good behavior. Don’t get me wrong; I’d much rather have obedient children than hellions. And thanks be to God, mine are (mostly) the former. But the longer I parent, the more I ask myself this question: What if my children’s biggest obstacle to faith isn’t their badness but their “goodness”?”
