| by Tony Perkins |
| As barricades and parade bleachers have gone up in Washington, D.C., so have the nation's expectations for the incoming Trump administration to right what many see as the wrongs of the outgoing Biden administration - whether it's the crisis at the southern border, transgender ideology targeting our youth, or the weaponization of government against its citizens. |

| Amazon Starts Phasing Out DEI - but Should We Believe It? |
| by Suzanne Bowdey |
| A million-dollar gift would've guaranteed you a pretty good seat at Monday's inauguration. In Jeff Bezos's case, it also didn't hurt that the Amazon mogul has turned over a new leaf where political activism is concerned. Like Meta's Mark Zuckerberg, the longtime critic of Donald Trump seems to have made peace with the incoming president - so much so that he's ordered the world's biggest online retailer to scale down DEI. |

| by Ben Johnson |

| by Sarah Holliday |
| The walls of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) that were built throughout the Biden administration appear to be crumbling right before our eyes. In recent days, numerous companies and institutions have been forgoing their DEI programs and offices. Shortly after taking office, West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey (R) used his new position to end all state-funded DEI programs. And now, in a decision opponents of DEI have long waited for, the FBI has officially announced that they closed their DEI office. |

| by Sarah Holliday |
| As some Democrats seem to be fighting tooth and nail to let illegal immigrants remain in America, there have been reports of a mass number of migrants who have chosen to "self-deport."

| How Well We Wait Just May Determine How Well We Live |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| As Christians, our lives are centered around our waiting to be with Christ, face to face, in heaven. The Bible describes us as exiles and sojourners. Nomads, if you will. Scripture makes it clear that earth is but a mere temporary dwelling place, and that our true home is in paradise. Pastor Jamie Dunlop of Capitol Hill Baptist Church put it well when he said, "The preeminent posture of a Christian is to wait. ... We live with a promise of ... a rescue for which we wait. And how well we wait is perhaps the most crucial factor in how well we live. Because waiting is inseparably bound up with faith." |
