Warren Buffett is retiring at the end of the year. According to Forbes, Buffett is worth $168.2 billion. His company, Berkshire Hathaway, ended March 2025 with $347.7 billion on hand. All that to say, when Buffett discusses the economy, people listen. At his company’s annual meeting this Saturday, people came from around the world to hear the ninety-four-year-old investment guru. He stated that “balanced trade is good for the world” and that “trade should not be a weapon,” but he also urged patience to investors worried about the future. Following this story over the weekend prompted me to reflect on the power predictions have to become reality and the significance of this power for our souls and society.

Thousands of people took to the streets across America yesterday in May Day protests against the Trump administration. The protests were organized under the banner of the 50501 movement, which stands for “fifty protests, fifty states, one movement,” which seeks to “uphold the Constitution and end executive overreach.” Like the US, Israel has seen large anti-government protests in recent years. But there is a key difference between the two nations, one that reveals a principle vital to our future and the flourishing of our souls.

Since 1775, our nation has asked its people to join together in prayer for the battles ahead, and the National Day of Prayer continues that legacy. As you join others in prayer today, remember that prayer isn’t performance; it’s participation. God isn’t looking for the right words but a receptive heart. Learning to listen when we pray is one of the most important aspects of communing with God. Unfortunately, it’s also the part of prayer that can feel most difficult.

Mifepristone, one of two pills used in facilitating chemical abortions, gained FDA approval twenty-five years ago after a study of just under thirty-one thousand participants showed that less than .5 percent experienced serious adverse reactions. That statistic has since been cited to defend not only the use of the pill but also the removal of almost every safeguard that was put in place when it was first introduced to the public. A recent analysis by the Ethics and Public Policy Center (EPPC) of more than 865,000 cases since 2017 has shown that serious complications are twenty-two times more likely to occur than either the FDA or the pill’s makers have claimed.

Today marks the one hundredth day of President Trump’s second term. While the numbers vary depending on the poll, the consensus seems to be that roughly 40 percent of Americans approve of how Trump’s term has gone so far, but even his approval ratings among Republicans have started to fall in recent weeks. This shift is largely due to the belief that he has become overly reliant on executive orders and the fear that his approach will eventually lead him into a confrontation with the judiciary. Few stories have epitomized the nature of Trump’s perceived battle with the courts better than the arrest of Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan last week.

“He was a pope among the people, with an open heart toward everyone.” This is how Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re described Pope Francis in Saturday morning’s funeral for the deceased pontiff. It was remarkable to see more than 250,000 people fill St. Peter’s Square from all over the world. They came in such numbers that more than four hundred priests were required to serve communion to all who wanted to receive it. With Pope Francis’s burial, the church began nine days of official mourning, known as the novemdiales, then the conclave gathers to elect the next pope.

Article Description

In the wake of Hurricane Helene, Amish volunteers from Pennsylvania quietly helped rebuild not only homes but also hope for residents of Chimney Rock, NC. Their story is a powerful reminder that God often works through quiet faithfulness, not breaking news. Most breaking news stories will play out in ways that will impact us, but we have little ability to impact them. Yet the best way to advance God’s kingdom on earth is to keep our focus and energy on the parts of our lives where we can make a difference.

The death of Pope Francis continues to dominate the news, but commentators are beginning to turn their attention to what comes next as well. Of the twelve cardinals thought to be frontrunners to become the next pope, many are considered more conservative than Francis. The person who becomes the next pope will obviously be vitally significant to America’s seventy-two million Catholics (comprising the largest denomination in the US). But three values Francis emphasized during his pontificate transcend denominations and are crucial to the future of American democracy as well.

Child psychologist Allan Josephson said at a Heritage Foundation panel, “Transgender ideology... is neglectful of the need for developing coping skills and problem-solving skills in children.” He was forced to resign as division chair of the University of Louisville’s Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Psychology. He sued the university and will receive a $1.6 million settlement from the university this week. To find the courage to refuse the lies of our culture, we need to love our Father more than we love our world. How do we make God our “one and only desire”?

Many “experts” assured us that religion was outdated—and many now admit they were wrong. Studies show that people of faith report higher well-being, gratitude, and connection, while secularism leaves many adrift. But beyond the sociological benefits lies a deeper truth: Christianity is not merely helpful—it’s true. Because Christ is risen, our faith is not in vain, and we are not alone. The same Jesus who conquered the grave walks with us today, offering hope, healing, and life. The more we know him personally, the more we’ll find that our best days truly are yet to come.
