This story details one family’s attitude regarding continuing on following tragedies such as Uvalde.
Question: Did you consider keeping your kids home from school? Why or why not?
SBC Sex Abuse Justice
If you don’t know much about the SBC’s sex abuse debacle, reading this will give you some basic understanding while pointing toward justice for those victimized.
Question: How did you respond to the last paragraph where it challenged us to look at ourselves?
Akron COVID Story
I know Adam through local ministry work and have always loved his passion for the Gospel and for the Church. Reading this story gives great insight into how believers should walk through trials.
Question: How does Pastor Adam’s response to his wife’s overwhelming situation challenge you?
Fantasy Football
A baseball player slapped his teammate – over fantasy football? I hesitate to include such a dumb story in my links, but I did enjoy reading the fantasy sports perspective on this story.
Question: What lessons can you learn from this?
