Truth with Teeth
Julian had stayed longer than he should have at the old church—hoping, praying, giving it time. But somewhere along the way, something sacred had gone missing. It wasn’t just a shift in style or a matter of preference. It was deeper. Week after week, he listened as the pastor spun personal stories into arrogant boasts,...
There’s something different that happens when I meet another veteran. It’s immediate—unmistakable. In a world where “connection” usually means a swipe on a screen or a passing comment in a thread, there’s something real about that encounter. No matter our branch, our MOS, or the year we wore the uniform, we carry something that links...
There is a voice that echoes through the ages—through stone tombs, through shattered empires, through bloodied martyrs and trembling saints. It is not a whisper. It is not an echo. It is a shout—a victorious cry from the mouth of a risen Savior: “It is finished.” The resurrection of Jesus Christ was not a symbolic...
Take a day to breathe, belong, and be. The world hurries. Always has. Always will. Emails, alarms, alerts. Deadlines that feel more like lifelines. The hustle is loud. And somewhere along the way, we start mistaking motion for meaning. That’s why Saturday matters. Saturday doesn’t ask anything of you. It doesn’t expect a report or...

We love to talk about resurrection—and rightly so. The empty tomb is the triumph of life over death, hope over despair, light over darkness. It is the centerpiece of the Christian faith. “If Christ has not been raised,” Paul writes, “your faith is futile and you are still in your sins” (1 Corinthians 15:17). No...
At the heart of the Christian faith stands a cross—an instrument of death that has become a symbol of life. Calvary is both grotesque and glorious, a place of brutality and beauty, justice and mercy. In the beautiful horror of Calvary God’s greatest act of love was also His most violent collision with evil. It...
For nearly two and a half centuries, Americans have prided themselves on being a people without a king. Our revolution was fought against monarchy, our Constitution crafted to restrain tyranny, and our civil religion forged in the fires of liberty. But beneath our defiant slogans and constitutional safeguards lies a truth we’ve long refused to...
In an age where we can connect with anyone, anywhere, at any time… why do so many of us feel so alone? Social media was supposed to bring us closer. It promised community, belonging, and instant access to one another. And in many ways, it has delivered: we reconnect with old friends, discover new interests,...
