Send us Fan Mail Peace in the Middle East sounds like the goal everyone should want, so why do so many Christians feel uneasy when world leaders talk about coalitions, treaties, and “historic” agreements around Israel? We sit down with Dr. Michael Cloer, a veteran pastor and student of Scripture, to face the question head-on: how can modern diplomacy fit alongside Bible prophecy that describes a future alignment of nations against Israel? We walk through why Israel sits at the center of bibl...

Send us Fan Mail God tells Abram, “I will,” four times and it changes the direction of human history. We slow down in Genesis 12:2–3 and let those promises land with their full weight: nationhood for a 75-year-old man with a barren wife, divine favor that God himself sustains, a great name that lasts beyond cultures and centuries, and a universal blessing that reaches “all the families of the earth.” We also get honest about why this matters for everyday faith. God’s covenant grace is never ...

Send us Fan Mail A patient looks you in the eye and says her last meal was roots she dug from the ground, boiled in water, and shared just to make it through the week. That single sentence can wreck your categories for poverty, health, and gratitude, and it becomes the doorway to a bigger July 4th reflection from me, a country doctor who has seen both mission-field scarcity and American abundance. I tell stories from Haiti that still stick with me: barefoot patients with infections, women go...

Send us Fan Mail God’s first words to Abram in Genesis 12 are simple and disruptive: leave your country, your relatives, and your father’s house, then walk toward a land God will show you. We sit with that tension the way real people have to, because obedience is rarely abstract. When God calls, He often asks us to loosen our grip on comfort, identity, and control, and to trust His promise before we see the full plan. We also step back and trace the bigger storyline from Babel to God preserv...

Send us Fan Mail A viral clip about aborting a baby with Down syndrome lit up the internet, but the part that matters most to me isn’t the comments section. It’s the question sitting underneath it: what is the unborn, really? As a physician and a dad, I walk through that question with the one person who has made it impossible for our family to keep this debate theoretical our son Thomas, now 26, who was diagnosed with Down syndrome and fought for his life from his first moments. Thomas...

Send us Fan Mail A genealogy can look like filler until you realize it is the backbone of a promise. We open Genesis 11:10-32 and follow the generations of Shem, right after the Tower of Babel and the dispersion of nations, to see how God keeps a single redemptive thread alive even when humanity scatters and the knowledge of the true God grows dim. As we trace the line forward, we talk about why Scripture guards these names so carefully: the promised seed from Genesis 3 is being preserved on...

Send us Fan Mail A baby asks for “mama,” and two adults laugh back, “There is no mama.” That short viral moment is heartbreaking on the surface, but we think it also reveals something deeper about the way modern culture talks about same-sex marriage, commercial surrogacy, and what counts as a family. I’m joined by my daughter Hannah as we slow down and look past the news cycle. We start with why the video felt so evil to so many people, not only because it provokes a child to tears, but beca...

Send us Fan Mail A single sentence in Genesis can wreck the comforting myth of a distant God: “the Lord came down.” We lean into Genesis 11:5–7 and the Tower of Babel to ask what it means that God watches nations, weighs motives, and intervenes when human pride hardens into organized rebellion. If you’ve ever wondered whether God is actually active in the world or whether history is just spinning on its own, this devotional draws a clear line from Scripture to the headlines in your own heart....

Send us Fan Mail If you’ve ever felt that quiet inner nudge that something is off, you’re not alone and you’re not crazy. We take that instinct seriously and put it through a biblical lens, because preparedness is not about panic. It’s about wisdom, stewardship, and protecting the people God has put in our care. I pick up with principle six, “prepare for opposition,” through Nehemiah’s rebuilding of Jerusalem’s wall while enemies threatened the work. From there, we translate ancient strategy...

Send us Fan Mail “Pro-life” is easy to say on a stage. It’s much harder to define in law when the questions get sharp: rape and incest, disability, medical prognosis, and whether the people involved in abortion should be treated as legally accountable or automatically immune. That’s why we sat down with Dr. Matt Clark, CEO of Personhood South Carolina, to talk plainly about personhood, equal protection, and what South Carolina voters should demand from candidates ahead of the governor runoff....
