President Trump’s UN address put the escalating conflict with Iran back in focus, while reports that Iran could sabotage internet cables in the Persian Gulf raise questions about how much damage inaction can allow. That dilemma leads to a deeper question: When God seems inactive amid the dangers and uncertainties of our world, is he truly absent—or do we need better eyes to recognize where he is already at work?

The White House news ban targeting CNN, MS NOW, and Politico has sparked a broader fight over press access and prompted other news organizations to push back. But our reactions to the controversy can also reveal something about how we handle disappointment: we tend to distance ourselves from people or institutions we no longer trust. What happens when we respond the same way to God? Scripture invites us to bring our doubts to him while still choosing to follow where he leads.

Violent crime is down, poverty has reached a historic low, and household incomes are up—yet many Americans still feel pessimistic about the future. That disconnect shows how easily repeated narratives can shape what we expect, whether about the economy, marriage, or Christianity itself. Despite headlines about religious decline, signs of spiritual vitality remain easy to overlook. So what might change if Christians stopped assuming the church is fading and instead looked for where Jesus is already at work?

Christianity’s center of gravity has shifted dramatically toward the Global South, and African missionaries are increasingly bringing the gospel to Europe, Canada, and the United States. Their work reflects both the growth of Christianity abroad and the spiritual decline of much of the West. But receiving missionaries from nations once viewed primarily as mission fields may require Western Christians to confront assumptions about where God is working—and whether we are humble enough to join him.

Artificial intelligence may change not only how we work but also how we understand purpose and meaning. As technology produces more information, more distractions, and more uncertainty about the future, the challenge is not simply to become more productive but to become clearer about what matters most. For Christians, that means asking whether our lives are increasingly shaped by noise and anxiety—or by a deeper relationship with the God whose presence gives our work and our days lasting significance.

As leaders debate how to respond to artificial intelligence, one obstacle keeps resurfacing: solving shared problems requires trusting other people and institutions to act responsibly. Yet Americans increasingly distrust government, business, media, and even one another. That crisis extends beyond politics or technology to deeper questions about how we live and who we are becoming. In a culture rich in technological progress but struggling with division and disconnection, where can we find the moral foundation we need?

Artificial intelligence is advancing rapidly, and Americans remain divided over whether its potential outweighs the risks. Some experts warn of cyberattacks, biological threats, and even human extinction, while others argue AI could usher in unprecedented prosperity. The uncertainty is unsettling, especially when humanity already possesses numerous ways to destroy itself. But frightening times also reveal where we place our confidence—and offer Christians an opportunity to show a fearful world what faith looks like.

Warnings about artificial intelligence reached a new level this week as AI researchers and tech leaders raised alarms about systems that could improve themselves, enable biological or cyberattacks, and potentially escape human control. Lawmakers and industry leaders are now debating whether development should slow while stronger safeguards are put in place. But as fears of an AI-driven catastrophe grow, they also raise a more personal question: What does it mean to be ready for a future none of us can predict?

Twenty-five years after 9/11, we remember the 2,977 people whose ordinary morning became a national tragedy—and the families who have carried that loss ever since. For many, grief cannot simply be revisited once a year and set aside. Yet Scripture offers a way to hold sorrow, gratitude, compassion, and hope together as we remember those we have lost and consider how God can use our own wounds to minister to others.

Twenty-five years after 9/11, the attack remains a defining moment for many Americans—but for younger generations, it is one crisis among many that have shaped a world marked by war, recession, pandemics, and uncertainty. Those different experiences can shape not only how we remember the past but also what we expect from the future. As we commemorate 9/11, where should Christians look for hope when safety and stability seem increasingly difficult to find?
