A Pastor and a Salesman Get into an Uber

Every time Bryan Sands got into his Dodge Grand Caravan, he prayed to God with a few requests: “Keep me accident-free, ticket-free, and grant me good conversations.” So he certainly wasn’t planning to cut off a cop in Hawaii.

Vacation Is The Modern Pilgrimage

We walked down stories of stairs into the earth. Our whispers echoed off the walls. At last, there it was: a wooden dock crouching over an underground pool of dazzling blue water.

Doug Wilson’s Household Voting Plan Could Empower Democrats for Decades

Doug Wilson is an Idaho pastor and author, a theocratic Christian nationalist—his terms—with a theatrical flair and a vulgar tongue. He founded his own denomination, which now includes Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, after making “so many enemies in Reformed circles that no denomination will have him.” Wilson began to make a national name for himself around 2008 through a Read more.

Old People Aren’t Doomed to Misery

Every week, our church prays for old people. Our elderly parishioners beg relief from their back and knee pains. They ask God to heal friends suffering from dementia and heart disease. They plead for their parents, now in their 90s and breaking their hips, their landlines riddled with robocalls. The younger worshipers among us have prayer Read more.
