I saw a video about the rise of adults getting baptized, and it was led by Generation Z men.
We observe the impact of Charlie Kirk's death on Gen Xers, alongside a shift back towards conservatism.

I recently came across a striking article about a troubling trend: one-third of American Christians don't believe they are sinners, yet they believe everyone else is.
According to a report from the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University, a third of adults claim they don't sin while maintaining that others do.
This disconnect may stem from pastors failing to teach about sin in their congregations. When was the last time you heard a pastor call for repentance? For many like me, it's only during communion—when we're reminded to examine ourselves before partaking.
This raises a crucial question: if we no longer recognize sin, how can we understand our need for a Savior? This logic is sound. Without acknowledging our sinful nature, why would we seek salvation?
This shift in thinking deserves serious consideration from anyone concerned about the direction of modern Christianity. Click here to read the article: A third of American Christians don't believe they're sinners.
I'm loving that homeschooling is on the rise, and it’s a powerful opportunity for faith-filled families to take the lead in their children's education.
It's inspiring to see so many parents, particularly the growing number of Black families who began homeschooling during the pandemic, embracing this path. This movement reflects a reclaiming of the parental role in guiding and nurturing the next generation.
The call to teach our children is deeply rooted in faith. We are encouraged to teach God's commandments (Deuteronomy 6:1-6), and leaders within the church are expected to be able to teach (1 Timothy 3:2, Titus 1:9). Jesus himself was known as "Teacher" (Matthew 22:16), setting the ultimate example for us.
Historically, the church has always played a vital role in education, from the early days of Sunday school for children in factories to the faith-based schools of today. We are now witnessing a revival of this tradition. It's truly heartening to see parents stepping up to train their children, ensuring their education is built on a foundation of faith and love.

First, Every Ministry Needs Help by Robyn Gool is my favorite book. I marked almost every page, and I borrowed the book (I hope they don’t mind). Sheeps, Goats, and Wolves is my second favorite.
I loved the way Mr. Gool wrote the
book. He talked to us, not at us.
The first thing that
caught my attention was when he said that Oral Roberts told the incoming
freshman class they were expected to be an asset and a blessing. He said
that if they became problems, they could leave the way they came. Mr.
Gool then said that there are a lot of people in churches who need to find
their way to another church. They are too much of a problem. I believe it, but
I don’t think I would ever have the guts to say it.
I also loved when Mr. Gool talked about the ministry of help needing to hear and know God's voice.
I loved the chapter on Help That Serves As Unto The Lord. He listed some reasons why people get into ministry: They want to impress the pastor, they want to brag about their family, they want to get close to the pastor and/or his wife, they serve out of tradition, etc.
Mr. Gool said we must be above average while serving in the ministry. In the world and workplace, many people are average or below average. They don’t have the drive or hunger to serve the Lord with all of their heart.
I enjoyed the six steps that the
author listed, especially the fifth one, which tells those in leadership to keep their house in order, whether married or single. I totally agree with that
statement.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book. It was helpful and gave a wonderful insight into the ministry of help.
