Noah has a conversation with author Cynthia Beach about gender justice, abuse & trauma, and writing serious fiction. Cynthia talks about what led her to weave these important issues into her novel The Surface of Water, and how our stories can bring about change and transformation in ways standard approaches can't.

Noah has a conversation with Pastor Dale Dalman on his visits to North Lake Processing Center in Baldwin, MI, the Midwest's largest immigrant detention center. Dale shares as a pastor from a biblical, non-partisan perspective on what's happening with ICE, immigrant arrests, what our laws are and how they're used, and the process immigrants go through at detention centers.

I'm doing a free webinar titled "Dealing with Pornography in Everyday Discipleship" with The Center for Faith, Sexuality, & Gender today, February 5th, at 2:00pm Eastern Time. 

This will be a great equipping resource for anyone in their discipleship, but especially for pastors and ministry leaders. If you're not a pastor, invite yours to register. The webinar will give them ideas and things to consider regarding discipleship around pornography in your church, with realistic and approachable ways of taking first steps as a church and an individual.

Some, like U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R‑GA‑14), are overtly Christian Nationalist and proud of the label, openly recruiting others to the cause. In an interview with Next News Network at a Turning Point USA Student Action Summit held in Tampa, Florida on July 23, 2022, Greene said:

"We need to be the party of nationalism. And I'm a Christian, and I say it proudly. We should be Christian nationalists."
