How to Renew Your Mind and Rewire Your Brain

A leading neurosurgeon challenges the long-held belief that our brains are unchangeable, revealing how personal transformation and healing are deeply rooted in understanding the mind's power.

What Multigenerational Homes Can Teach Christians about Family

More Americans are sharing homes with parents, adult children, and grandparents, often because of finances, caregiving, or changing life circumstances. Living together can be rewarding, but it can also expose tension over boundaries, money, independence, and changing family roles. What can the gospel teach Christians about honoring parents, receiving help, serving one another, and building healthy multigenerational families?

What the Race toward Superintelligence Reveals about Human Limits

America's government is now using the term “Super Intelligence” for artificial intelligence and has created a federal task force that will consult technology companies, consumers, public-interest groups, infrastructure providers, and religious organizations. But the larger Christian question is not simply how powerful AI may become. As human capability accelerates, are our wisdom, humility, and contentment keeping pace—or are we building faster than we are learning how to steward what we create?

What Hazing Reveals about Our Desperate Need to Belong

The desire to belong is powerful, especially during seasons of transition like college, a new job, or entering adulthood. But when acceptance requires silence, compromise, humiliation, or harm, belonging has become something unhealthy. Fraternity hazing raises a larger Christian question: How can believers pursue genuine community while remembering that their identity and worth are already secure in Christ?

When Occult Symbols Become Cute, How Should Christian Parents Respond?

A Baphomet plush toy listed for ages 3 and up raises a larger question for Christian parents: What happens when occult imagery becomes cute, funny, and familiar? Scripture calls believers neither to panic over every unusual symbol nor to become careless about practices God forbids. Parents can teach children discernment by knowing God’s Word, asking good questions, and showing them how to distinguish imaginative entertainment from spiritual practices that seek guidance apart from God.

When an Election Doesn’t Go Your Way, What Happens to Your Hope?

When the candidate we supported loses, disappointment can quickly turn into anger, fear, or despair. But elections reveal something important about where our confidence rests. Christians can care deeply about public life while remembering that God remains sovereign, political power remains temporary, and our living hope is grounded in Jesus Christ rather than any candidate, party, or election result.

What Rising Strokes among Young Adults Reveal about the Fragility of Life

A University of Cincinnati-led study found that first-time stroke rates among adults ages 20 to 54 in its study population nearly doubled over 27 years. The findings are sobering, but Christians do not have to respond with fear. Psalm 90 offers another response: number our days, care wisely for the lives God has given us, and trust Him with the future we cannot control.

Does a Biblical Worldview Demand More Than Voting on Election Night?

A live election-night broadcast is bringing hundreds of people together to watch returns, analysis, and prayer through an explicitly Christian lens. But does a biblical worldview require more than showing up on election night? Voting can be one part of civic responsibility, while Scripture also calls Christians toward truthfulness, prayer, justice, care for others, wise discernment, and faithful involvement long after the results are announced.
