In light of the Derek Chauvin verdict, we want to revisit this article from last summer. In these highly charged emotional moments, let’s remember to look to Jesus. We are grateful for the law and glimpses of temporal, human justice. But ultimately, the Gospel...

Today, I thought I would give you some anecdotes on what the Bible says about work and some things that you can use as daily reflections for work throughout your day. Researcher Christian Smith uncovered some fascinating insights while working on the...

My name is Sanford Swanson. I know it's hard to believe with this baby face, but for 18 and a half years, I've been a police officer. For the last 8 and a half years, I’ve been in West Lafayette, Indiana, where I get the privilege of raising my family alongside my...
