Why Do You Call Yourself a Christian?

Here Comes the He Gets Us Campaign Again: Why Its Portrayal of Jesus is Still a Problem

Our Children: The Greatest Mission Field

The Most Important Question

A Christian Response to a Viral Deconversion Post

Pronoun Mania
If you haven’t had a chance to freshen up on the latest gender pronoun trend, be sure to do so by visiting a Starbucks near you. There you’ll be warmly greeted by your barista, who might be your standard he or she but could be he/they, she/they, or they/them. On...
Why People Love a False Jesus
By Melissa Dougherty You know something I never see? I never see the average person say that Buddha was made up from stories of ancient pagan gods. Or that Gandhi was actually a Jewish mystic who was misunderstood. Or that Mohammad was an atheist. There’s usually only...
Has God Warmed Up to Religious Pluralism?
