Popular portrayals of the God-Man can draw admiring crowds, but they can’t create imitating disciples. In the past couple of weeks, people have been talking once again about Jesus Christ Superstar. Not only did a recent Ted Lasso episode feature a song from the 1970s musical, but the original film is airing on BBC—prompting countless…
A Christian who wants to see God’s will done “on earth as it is in heaven” is piloting the first lunar flight in more than 50 years. Victor Glover will pray his way to the moon. When the Artemis 2 takes off sometime late next year, four astronauts will strap into a gumdrop-shaped capsule atop…
Christian parents need to be prepared, more than ever, to discuss this difficult topic with our children. Where I live in Nashville, it has been a dark time of unspeakable tragedy. Six lives were lost: three wonderful children and three amazing adults. Nashville is a very small big town. We’re all connected, one way or…
We owe to Scripture something we don’t owe any other book: our obedience. I grew up in a home that prioritized reading.

For his entry into Jerusalem, Jesus picked a symbol of lowliness rather than military might. Christian churches throughout the world will begin our holiest week of the year on what is popularly known as Palm Sunday. It commemorates one of the few events in the life of Jesus recorded in all four gospel stories: his…
Shootings have become normal to the American public. But as Christians, we know better. Over the past few days, my city, Nashville, has been grieving and suffering after a terroristic murderer attacked a Christian school and slaughtered six people—including three children. Whenever a school shooting happens in America, our country is shocked and pays attention…
In Lent, we realign our identity in Christ and recover our sense of being loved into existence by our Creator. As a Singaporean, I grew up immersed in a national culture defined by stress. These instincts were arguably more learned than anything else—my Malaysian father and South Korean mother moved to the country from the…
In the face of tragedy, Christ welcomes our confusion and anger.
