| A Tough Week for Fathers: Reflections on the Slayings of Charlie Kirk and Iryna Zarutska |
| by S.A. McCarthy |
| I grew up with Charlie Kirk. No, I don't mean that we went to school together or lived on the same street as kids. Charlie grew up in the suburbs outside Chicago while I spent much of my life in Carroll County, roughly 20 miles west of Baltimore. Charlie was only a year my senior. He and I grew up in the same America. |

| by Joshua Arnold |

The Fed may be preparing to give Trump what he wants, but not for the reasons Trump hoped.

| When the World Is Blowing Up, Why Should Christians Stay in the Fight? |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| The world is ablaze with chaos - exploding in our faces with tragedy, violence, and raw hatred. Words like perplexed, scared, sad, shocked, and angry barely scrape the surface of the anguish we feel as the flames of evil rage. Every act of brutality, every wave of malice, is an abomination that demands condemnation. But let's cut through the noise: Christians are the world's prime target. This isn't my opinion - it's the unflinching truth of Scripture. |
