    As the 2020 election approaches, a group of Christians are making it clear that the Trump Administration and its policies are not representative of their own beliefs and values.

    In the new book Keeping the Faith: Reflections on Politics & Christianity in the Era of Trump and Beyond leaders like Alexia Salvatierra, Andy Crouch, Greg Coles, Randy Woodley, David French, Brandi Miller and numerous others are putting their beliefs to paper in essays that elaborate on what it means to stand as a Christian in our rapidly changing world.

    Editors Jonathan P. Walton, Suzie Lahoud, and Sy Hoekstra explain the need for this collection and the validity of the voices within: “If you are a Christian who is struggling to discern how to cast your own vote in November, this book is for you. If you are a Christian who has been searching for a sense of political belonging within the church, this book is for you. If you are a Christian who is looking for brothers and sisters who will stand with you as allies, this book is for you. If you are a Christian who has been in mourning and lament since 2016, this book is for you.”

  • Asking for Help Part 1

    Part 1 - Featuring Zulay McLean

    I read an article that said "The hardest thing for a mother to do is ask for help. Insecurity, pride, guilt, gender norms, and cultural expectations can create a "supermom" complex for wives and mothers. In this episode, we ask the question: Why is it so hard for moms to ask for help? And explore the ways in which God's love and grace can free us to receive the help He wants to send our way.
