| Appeal to Heaven: Members of Congress Join to Pray for Nation |
| by Suzanne Bowdey |
| Thirty days into an increasingly painful government shutdown - and political divides as deep as they've ever been - a group of House conservatives is making it clear that while Washington may not have the solution to America's problems, God does. As frustrations boil over in Congress and the country struggles to cope with the fallout, the House Freedom Caucus - together with Family Research Council - decided to host a special "Congress Prays for America" call Thursday evening to ask, not just for an end to the leaders' impasse, but also for spiritual healing in our broken land. |

| How Does the Government Shutdown Affect Air Travel? |
| by Joshua Arnold |
| "Every day the shutdown continues, the negative consequences to the National Airspace System and its employees are compounding," announced flyers handed out in airports Monday by members of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA), representing 14,000 controllers. America's national airspace is experiencing an unusually high volume of flight delays.

| Christians Must Stand Up against Racism, Anti-Semitism, and Conspiracy Theories on the Right |
| by Kathy Athearn |
| Disturbingly, there is a growing trend of hateful language among young conservatives and even some other influential conservatives. What has typically been relegated to the "alt-right fringe" is pushing its way into normal conservative circles. This is something that we, as Christians, must stand up against and stop. |

| Hope and Hesitation: What the 2025 CBW Report Reveals about the Church's Worldview (Part 2) |
| by David Closson |
| In 2023, researcher George Barna identified seven cornerstones of a biblical worldview. He and the Cultural Research Center found that "more than 80% of adults who embrace these seven basic biblical teachings hold a biblical worldview." Also in 2023, the CBW reported that many Christians have a weak understanding of these doctrines. Unfortunately, the CBW's new 2025 report indicates that this understanding has declined even further. |
