John Hus’s Company of Women
John Hus valued the active role of women in the church more than most medieval theologians.
Hus encouraged women to study the Scriptures, to speak to others about Christ, to participate in church singing, and to admonish those who needed correction, including priests. “Listen, daughter, and incline your ears and know that you are a person and that you have a body and a soul,” he wrote in 1412. “Therefore remember,...

Can Vivek Ramaswamy Put Wokeism Out of Business?
Corporate America ‘makes money critiquing itself.’ The rest of us pay the price in diminished freedom.
Born in suburban Ohio in 1985, Mr. Ramaswamy grew up “a nerdy Indian kid with glasses, carrying books from class to class.” Peers in his public junior high school didn’t like his attitude—paying attention in class, getting his homework done, being polite to teachers—and “a much bigger kid” pushed him down a stairwell in an...

William Carey: Keeping the Grand End in View
“A wretched, poor, and helpless worm, On thy kind arms I fall.” - William Carey's Tombstone
Studying church history this way allows the reader to see that the barometer of faithfulness in Christian ministry is judged not by what one may bring as an individual to the work of the kingdom, but rather what one contributes as a servant in the churches of the kingdom, whether known or in obscurity.

These Are 8 Strict Workplace Rules Elon Musk Makes His Tesla Employees Follow

Any manager who attempts to enforce chain of command communication will soon find themselves working elsewhere.” Elon Musk get a lot done. The 47-year-old entrepreneur and CEO... Continue Reading
John Bertram Phillips – A Bruised Reed Firmly Planted
Through this rise to success and fame, J. B. Phillips lived with a clinical and often debilitating form of depression and anxiety.
The contrast between the torment J. B. Phillips revealed in some of his most intimate confessions and the exciting and joyous discovery and proclamation of God’s nature, works and revelation that he expressed in the majority of his writings is not a contradiction. It’s only a manifestation of what all Christians experience, in varying degrees... Continue Reading
A Jonah Experience: Lobster Diver Swallowed By Humpback Whale Off Provincetown
'I was completely inside': Lobster diver swallowed by humpback whale off Provincetown.
“I was completely inside; it was completely black,” Packard said. “I thought to myself, ‘there’s no way I’m getting out of here. I’m done, I’m dead.’ All I could think of was my boys — they’re 12 and 15 years old.” Outfitted with scuba gear, he struggled and the whale began shaking its head so... Continue Reading
Hallgrímur Pétursson – Iceland’s Poet of Comfort
Within the Eternal Arms I sink to rest, Washed in the stream that flowed from Jesus' breast: The life Thou gavest, Father, now defend; Into Thine Hands my spirit I commend.
Pétursson experienced a new challenge in 1665, when he was struck with leprosy. He was still able to preach and attend some meetings, but eventually had to retire and spent his last years bedridden and almost blind. His most moving hymns were written during this time. He died at Ferstikla, near Saurbær, on 27 October... Continue Reading
Interracial Couple Fights Critical Race Theory in One of America’s Most Integrated Towns
Oak Park, Illinois father asks, "Are my kids half-oppressor and half-oppressed?"
They grew up in different worlds, walked different paths, and yet they met by chance and fell in love because they shared the same universally human values and principles. There is enormous power in this truth, far greater than any manmade racial construct, and we must hold onto that or else. When I drove... Continue Reading
