Jeffrey Epstein and the Myth of the Culture Wars - Christianity Today Some leaders of different political stripes teach us to hate each other, but they’re playing for the same team.

The Epstein files reveal many things- but one is that dark and cynical people have an interest in keeping us divided and distracted while they prey on the innocent and plunder the vulnerable.

Still in a state of shock trying to process the tragic loss of one of the most gifted men in the entertainment industry & his wife when the Embarrassment-in-Chief disgraces common human decency with this repulsive, deranged statement.

Love in the Ruins of 2025 - Christianity Today From Russell Moore: How Walker Percy’s 1971 end-times novel predicted our current insanity—and how it just might point the way out.

Measuring the Good Life - Christianity Today New global data shows what makes for a flourishing life. It isn’t what we think. The Global Flourishing Study has surprising insights for Christians.

Hellfire-and-Brimstone Empathy - Christianity Today From Russell Moore: How the demonization of empathy will lead to a church that neglects repentance and coddles sin.

The Church Is Fragile—And Unshakable - Christianity Today From Russell Moore: We can be grieved about the state of the church, but we can still love and fight for it.

Hooters and the Future of the Church - Christianity Today We should be glad if the restaurant chain closes. But there’s no solace in how these places are dying in a culture that now finds them too tame.

Hooters “is in trouble not because it’s too edgy but because it is not edgy enough,” writes @drmoore.bsky.social.

“That ought to tell us something about the future of American culture and the future of the church.”

The Moral Cost of Murdering Ukraine - Christianity Today From Russell Moore: What's at stake is not just the survival of nations. It's the consciences of those who align themselves with what is unquestionably wrong.

“Decisions about war and peace are often morally complex,” writes @drmoore.bsky.social.
