There but for Friends and Family Go I

One reason some Americans are edgy about homelessness: Maybe it could happen to me? Many have a foreboding sense of living on the edge and risking ending up on the streets.

How to Stop Technology from Rotting Your Brain

This piece was adapted from Russell Moore’s newsletter. Subscribe here. Nearly 20 years ago, the Pixar animated movie Wall-E pictured a future in which human beings lay in floating chairs, eating and consuming entertainment, their bodies atrophying from lack of use, while robots did everything for them. Some say we are now entering that future with the onset of Read more. The post How to Stop Technology from Rotting Your Brain appeared first on Christianity Today

What Israel’s Only Female Judge Teaches Us About Leadership

The account of God’s interaction with people is one story after another of him doing the unexpected. Time after time God showed his people that he doesn’t think the way they think and he doesn’t work the way they work. Person after person in Scripture was surprised by God: Noah was surprised when God told Read more.

Instagram Plus Adds Nothing

Bad news: Instagram is now offering “more of what you love” for $3.99 a month. The app’s infrastructure—static grid posts, short-form video reels, and fleeting stories—isn’t changing. But Instagram Plus’s upgrades will offer a new (and harmful) way to navigate its digital landscape. What are the supposed perks? Instagram Plus members will be able to Read more.

The Christians You Need Might Be the Christians Next Door

Every generation of Christians replays the age-old debate: What does it mean to be in the world but not of it? The radicals insist you must sell all you have and give the money to the poor (Matt. 19:21). You must go into full-time vocational ministry or be a missionary to an unreached people group. Read more.

Your Kids Don’t Need the ‘Perfect School.’ They Need a Savior.

Every August, the same question nags me: Am I making the right choice for my kids’ education? In ten years of motherhood, I’ve read numerous books about child development, family discipleship, and education. (Ever an eager beaver, I began this reading during my first pregnancy.) I’ve talked with proponents of homeschooling, private Christian schools, and Read more. The post Your Kids Don’t Need the ‘Perfect School.’ They Need a Savior. appeared first on Christianity Today

Should Elon Musk ‘Make Like Zacchaeus’?

Earlier this summer, CT started running an occasional feature on reader responses. Here’s a new installment. The Pro-Life Movement’s Widening Division The pro-life abolitionist approach risks repeating the trajectory of the 2010 Tea Party movement’s: initial energy and primary successes followed by electoral losses, internal GOP divisions, and diminished policy impact. Both movements prioritize ideological absolutism over Read more. The post Should Elon Musk ‘Make Like Zacchaeus’? appeared fi...

How Jesus Sounded to a First-Century Galilean

This piece was adapted from CT’s books newsletter. Subscribe here. Scot McKnight, Jesus, People, Pharisees: Exploring the Conflict in Galilee (Fortress Press, 2026) On more than a dozen occasions in this provocative book, Scot McKnight claims the Gospels are exaggerating.
