I Need Sundays

Glenna Marshall explains why she so badly needs Sundays—and why she cries pretty much every Sunday.

Christianity vs Everybody

How could a good God allow evil? Is the Bible homophobic? Is Christ really the only way?

If you want to deepen your own faith or help those who are struggling, we invite you to join us for our weekend seminar, “Christianity vs. Everybody,” hosted by DBTS. (Sponsored Link)

Awake My Soul (Psalm 57) (Video)

I’ve really been enjoying this new song from Shane & Shane and The Worship Initiative.

Every. Single. Word.

“As I was listening to the radio the other day about current events, I found myself asking, ‘I wonder how much of this is true?’ It’s an unfortunate fact that you can’t believe everything someone tells you.

  • Authority

    How Men Can Use Their Authority Well

    There are few topics that have proven trickier to navigate than the topic of authority.
