What’s REALLY Happening to Christians in Nigeria?

More and more people are talking about Christian persecution in Nigeria, but reports are often conflicting. Some Nigerians--even Nigerian Christians--claim the reports are entirely false. Others claim it's only an ethnic dispute, not a religious one. Some say U.S. leaders are blowing the story out of proportion in order to work our way in and take mineral rights. Still others say it's just a sad story of "bandits" taking advantage of people for financial gain...not anything resembling a Ch...

Why Culture Hates Charlie Kirk
When my book When Culture Hates You came out earlier this year, I got a lot of comments from both Christians and nonbelievers either laughing off the idea that the culture hates Christians or suggesting to me that writing a book of this nature was unnecessarily "divisive." There are even some reviews from people who loved the book but still mention that you "just have to get past the title."
Never mind the fact that Jesus Himself told his followers the world would hate them (John 15:18-19:...

The One Big Beautiful Bill Isn’t as Unchristian as Everyone Seems to Think

The One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) was signed into law earlier this month, with sweeping changes to taxes, immigration, defense, energy, health, and more. Since then, there has been widespread moral outrage over the bill, especially in light of cuts to Medicaid, cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and increased spending for ICE. Plenty of people, of course, are talking about other aspects of the OBBB, but these three subjects seem to account for a lion’s share of the...

Andy Stanley’s Church is Coaching Middle School Leaders to Affirm Trans Identities

For the past few years, I've created a blog post that goes out to my email list every time I publish a new episode on The Natasha Crain Podcast. Going forward, I've decided to instead send an email whenever I write an article but only monthly to share about new podcasts. If you enjoy my podcasts, the best way to listen is to subscribe on a podcast player and then you'll be notified of new episodes as soon as they come out rather than through the monthly email. And if you've never given the p...

What the Inauguration (and Vibe Shift) Means for Christians

For many Christians, this week’s inauguration brought a sense of relief.
Harris’s radically progressive platform was stopped from further becoming reality (for now), and Trump immediately started implementing measures to reverse some of the most devastating ideologies and policies of the prior administration (DEI, government censorship, a nearly open border, and gender ideology to name a few).
Given the extreme polarization we’ve seen in recent years over these issues and over Trump hims...

What the Church Is Getting Wrong about Race and Racism, with Monique Duson and Krista Bontrager

Today on The Natasha Crain Podcast, I’m talking with my good friends from The Center for Biblical Unity, Monique Duson and Krista Bontrager, about their new book, Walking in Unity: Biblical Answers to Questions on Race and Racism. Ever since 2020, there have been all kinds of discussions about race in the church, and unfortunately a lot of those discussions have included some very unbiblical ways of thinking. I’m so grateful that Krista and Monique have written this excellent and accessible ...

Exposing the History of the Sexual Revolution, with Seth Gruber

Today on The Natasha Crain Podcast, I talk with Seth Gruber about his new documentary that exposes the “hidden history of the secular moral revolution and the architects of our current culture of death.” Seth's documentary and corresponding book are called The 1916 Project and reveal the long, devastating trajectory of how we got to where we are today as a culture that celebrates the choice to kill preborn babies. As Seth explains, abortion isn't an issue that can be isolated from other is...
