By Ryan Leasure If you’re from an Appalachian church that handles snakes, I’m sorry to disappoint you. This is not THAT kind of post. Instead, it’s a post about how the Bible portrays vipers, snakes, and dragons. What’s more, it’s about how a mighty warrior defeats a snake to rescue his precious bride. If this […]
By Alisa Childers When my daughter Dyllan was a toddler, I exercised quite regularly at the YMCA. (And by “exercised,” I mean that I read a book on the stationary bike and pedaled as slowly as possible while I enjoyed an hour of free childcare. Not gonna lie.) One day when I picked her up […]

By Levi Dade A few months ago, I sat with a close friend in one of the booths of our university’s coffee shop. My friend, whom I will call Tom, is an atheist. Tom is a genuine truth-seeker, and he would be a Christian if he thought Christianity was “actually true.” During our conversation, we […]
Por Alisa Childers Permítanme empezar diciendo que me gusta Rob Bell. (No pensaste que iba a decir eso, ¿verdad?)
