    Is the Teen Mental Health Crisis a Spiritual Crisis?4

    Ask any TikTok user about the app’s “For You” Page, and many will say that it “knows them better than they know themselves.” Between its manipulative technology and connection to the Chinese Communist Party, it’s unclear how much damage TikTok is doing to American society.

    Pathologizing Healthy Opinions0

    At some point you’ve probably heard an opinion of yours about morality, religion, or politics summarily dismissed with a reaction like: “You only say that because you’re a _____!” or “That’s just an excuse for _______.” Frustrating, isn’t it?

    Former President Trump released a video last week in which he railed against the Biden administration’s handling of the war in Ukraine. “A global conflict between nuclear armed powers would mean death and destruction of a scale unmatched in human history,” warned Trump. “It would be nuclear Armageddon.” It’s clear that permanent enmity between America

    Jonathan Edwards and Living a Transformed Life1

    If I made a list of all the theologians I’ve seen caricaturized, unjustifiably dismissed, or just plain misunderstood, Jonathan Edwards would be near the top.
