Education

They're Building a Different Kind of Graduate

In 1993, there were 10 classical Christian schools in America. Today there are more than 450. More than a quarter of all evangelical Christian schools now use a classical curriculum. Something is being built — and it has been building for thirty years without much fanfare.

This Isn't Grassroots. This Is Strategy.

The largest single-day protest in American history just happened. The narrative: spontaneous, organic, patriotic Americans defending democracy. The reality beneath that narrative is something else entirely — and it is documented.

Abortion

1.1 Million

The Guttmacher Institute reported this week that 1.1 million abortions took place in the United States in 2025 — unchanged from 2024. The laws changed. The number didn't. That gap tells us something important about where the real work is.

Faith & Spiritual Warfare

You Were Not Built for All of It

The world produces more problems, crises, and causes than any person can carry. The question is not whether to engage — it's whether you were made to engage all of it. The answer, it turns out, is no. And that is not a failure of responsibility. It is the beginning of real effectiveness.

They're Coming Back to Church. But Are They Being Formed?

Church attendance is up. Bible sales are surging. And yet the latest research finds that just 4% of American adults hold a biblical worldview — and among Gen Z, it's 1%. More people in the pews. The same vacancy in the culture. This isn't a revival. It's a waiting room.
