Sold out for God. Sold out for freedom. That’s exactly how I would describe the people who stood in the room with me at the Falkirk Center’s Faith Summit this past weekend. World-changers who love this country too much to let it go down without a fight. Individuals who love God and want to preserve future generations’ ability to worship […]

Cancel culture is harsh, and it has become a negative trend in society through the influence of social media. I would go as far to say that it is a toxic concept and reaps more harm than good.  The concept of cancel culture deals with “canceling” public figures, brands or individuals that have done or said something offensive or deemed […]

Every time I drive by a Planned Parenthood location, I feel a knot in my stomach twist as I think about what happens in that building every day. These grey, cold buildings sit in the middle of neighborhoods with a haunting presence, advertising healthcare for women, but by the looks of the exterior, there seems to be no sense of […]

Governors and health officials across the country have drawn the ire of an emerging anti-mask fringe movement. These fledgling activists feel that the government either has no legal authority to implement such a mandate, or that the government has no moral authority to impose restrictions of these kinds in peoples’ personal lives.  In fact, at Liberty University, a handful of […]

There’s a specific worship song I’ve found myself listening to lately: “His Mercy is More,” sung by Matt Boswell and Matt Papa. This song always takes me back to the truth of the gospel, and reminds me of what my soul so desperately needs when it is plagued by guilt: God’s mercy triumphs over judgment.  “Stronger than darkness, new every […]

To say I love Disney is a pretty big understatement. Some of my favorite childhood memories involve the classic Disney movies. When I was younger, my sisters and I would get our favorite coloring books, grab our arsenal of rainbow-colored markers and sit at our table after school, where we would color as we watched our favorite Disney movies.  We […]

For most college students, the past few months of quarantine, social distancing, masks, takeout and Zoom meetings have caused opportunities for face-to-face interaction to dwindle to a bare minimum. We were plucked out of our routines and social lives by a pandemic that has killed over 175,000 Americans. In addition, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention already reports a […]

A new lifestyle forced everyone to conform to its requirements five months ago. At every restaurant, store and place of public gathering, a list of rules strikes you in the face before you can enter. Small stickers cover the ground reminding patrons at a store to keep their distance, specifically six feet of distance. Hand sanitizer has become an essential […]

It has been three months since the death of George Floyd, and America is still experiencing riots across the country— what resolution will come from the violence? More recently, two civilians were killed and another was injured during riots that occurred in Kenosha, Wisconsin. It was the third night of protests in the wake of Wisconsin police officers opening fire […]

It was a school night like any other. I was at Walmart buying groceries with a couple of friends, and the excitement of spring break bubbled in the air.  Suddenly, I got a phone call that changed the course of the next six months of my life.  “You’re coming home,” my mom said in an urgent tone. “We don’t feel […]
