A mother's love for her children is distinctive and irreplaceable. To watch a child suffer is crushing and almost intolerable for any mom. In this touching scene revealed in three verses, we not only see Mary, the mother of Jesus, at the foot of her Son's cross, we also learn how Jesus cared for His mother. Even from His place of extreme suffering, Jesus was thinking of others and His love for Mary is noteworthy for us.

Critical theory was on display in the media’s reaction to last week’s terror attack in Colorado. The Colson Center wrapped up its national conference on Being the Church. And John and Maria reflect on N. T. Wright’s controversial thoughts on abortion.

Are your choices placing others at risk? Pastor Skip examines how your disobedience can impact everyone in your orbit.

Katie Coblentz grew up a tomboy—Spider-Man, catch with dad, boys’ clothes. As a teen, she felt like a misfit and found fleeting belonging in the LGBT community. In college, YouTube videos of joyful ‘trans men’ promised freedom from her anxiety and pain.

She transitioned—testosterone, surgery, a new name. The illusion worked. Until one day, she looked in the mirror… and saw a woman.

That moment unraveled everything.

Katie began the hard road of detransition and now speaks out against the trans ideology that nearly destroyed her. Her story is a warning—and a call to truth.

Today on BOLD STEPS, Pastor Mark Jobe continues teaching us how to maintain peace while untangling life’s messes. In our relationships with family, friends, and coworkers, we all encounter situations that get tangled and messy. And far too often, our initial response is to become combative rather than gentle when faced with conflict or criticism. Today, Mark continues his powerful message titled Untangling Life Without Losing Your Peace, where he’s showing us how to navigate these challenging situations using wisdom from the book of Philippians.
