The Supreme Court last Friday upheld a ruling that allowed Texas to enforce a state law requiring pornography sites to verify the age of their users before providing access. Nearly half of all states have passed similar laws to keep children under the age of eighteen from seeing online pornography. Such laws are crucial because, as the Gen Z writer Freya India warns, “Modern porn is unlikely anything else in history.” You and I live in a society that has normalized sexual immorality on a level many of us scarcely realize, but Christ has already paved the way to rescue us.

The Supreme Court is expected to announce major decisions this morning on birthright citizenship, age verification for pornography sites, and several other contentious issues. However, its ruling yesterday is already making headlines: the court handed down a decision that could pave the way for states to defund Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion provider in the US. When should the Supreme Court overrule laws passed by states? The question points to a topic we have reason to discuss often in this space: How do we best promote the morality that is foundational to democracy?

On the anniversary of Harry Potter’s release, both JK Rowling and Pedro Pascal are in the news—not for their work, but their opposing convictions. Rowling has been “vociferously castigated” for defending biological sex; Pascal, in support of his transgender sibling, called her a “heinous loser.” As our nation’s culture continues to shift away from the “morals and religion” of our founding fathers, we remember that the gospel has thrived most fully across Christian history when the culture has been most antagonistic to its truth.

Andrew Cuomo conceded in yesterday’s New York City mayoral Democratic primary to Muslim socialist Zohran Mamdani. A Democratic strategist called the former governor’s loss the “biggest upset in modern New York City history.” Mamdani made headlines with his strong support for Palestinians and criticism of Israel. With five likely candidates, including incumbent mayor Eric Adams running as an independent, the general election in November could be “the strangest local election in at least half a century.”

After yesterday’s proclamation of a ceasefire between Israel and Iran within twenty-four hours, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said he had ordered the military to strike Tehran in response to what he said were missiles fired by Iran in violation of the ceasefire. However, Iran denied violating the ceasefire, stating that there had not been any launch of missiles towards Israel in recent hours. Because Israel’s enemies are ultimately motivated by religious beliefs, this is ultimately a spiritual war. And when fighting a spiritual war, we are to stand firm while “praying at all times in the Spirit. Today, we discuss how to do just that.

Saturday brought about a world-altering moment when the United States launched a major offensive against Iran’s nuclear infrastructure in June 2025. Using B-2 Spirit bombers and submarine-launched cruise missiles, the US targeted key Iranian sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan in a decisive and stealthy campaign, described by CNN as a potential turning point in the Middle East’s geopolitical balance. How will Iran respond against Israel? How will Iran respond against the US? How will this conflict end? And how should we as Christians respond to the many “unknown unknowns" this week?

On Wednesday, the Supreme Court upheld Tennessee’s ban on the use of hormone therapy and puberty blockers for the treatment of transgender children. The case—United States v. Skrmetti—was brought before the court on the argument that the law was unconstitutional because it violated the rights of transgender youth to equal protection. They were wrong, and the potential implications could stretch well beyond the state of Tennessee. So, where does this fight go from here? And, as Christians, how should we respond?

Article Description

President Trump privately told senior aides late yesterday that he has approved attack plans against Iran but is holding off in the hope that threatening to join Israel’s strikes will lead Tehran to abandon its nuclear program. At issue is the Massive Ordnance Penetrator bomb (MOP) needed to blow up the Fordow nuclear facility. Israel does not possess weapons capable of penetrating the facility and destroying it—but the US does. We are already sharing intelligence and helping intercept Iranian missiles and drones. However, there is something else we also need to share with Israel, a factor vital to our flourishing and future as a people.

President Donald Trump called yesterday for Iran’s unconditional surrender, though the end of its war with Israel does not appear to be in sight. The way Iran’s dictators treat their own people and others in the region is indicative of the way they would treat Americans if given the opportunity. We are mistaken if we think this conflict cannot involve us directly. Today, we consider six scenarios in escalating order of geopolitical impact and how we might pray for all those involved.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Fox’s Bret Baier recently, “We’re geared to do whatever is necessary to achieve our dual aim, to remove . . . two existential threats—the nuclear threat and the ballistic missile threat.” He added, “We did act—to save ourselves, but also, I think, to not only protect ourselves, but protect the world from this incendiary regime. We can’t have the world’s most dangerous regime have the world’s most dangerous weapons.” Why would he call Iran “the world’s most dangerous regime”?
