CEO Crisis: What New Data Reveals About Belief and Business

Last updated on: November 11, 2025 at 6:13 pm By Guest Contributor

By Mike Sharrow What do today’s CEOs actually believe—and does it shape how they lead? This fall, Barna Group released a new study, Faith Forward CEOs: Research and Insights on Executives Who Lead Differently, which surveyed more than 350 diverse context CEOs to understand how they think, lead, and define success. While much of the data confirmed what we already suspected—CEOs are generally purpose-driven and culture-focused—it also exposed a growing tension in the moral and motivational core of business leadership....

3 Ways to Keep the Parables Alive

Last updated on: March 24, 2025 at 12:14 pm By Guest Contributor

By Mike Elms The Parables were one of Jesus’ principal teaching and preaching tools, but 2,000 years later, they are dying. While this is a bold statement, there’s a reason to why this is happening. According to a recent Gallup study, only 44% of Christians in the U.S. regularly attend church. Since 2000, this number has decreased by 4%. Additionally, the American Bible Society notes that fewer people are reading the Bible. So, an increasing number of folks are not hearing the... Read more

Was Hitler a Christian?

Last updated on: February 14, 2025 at 1:18 am By Alonzo Gaskill, PhD

Perhaps the easiest and most direct answer to “Was Hitler a Christian?” would be, “Well if he was, he wasn’t a very good one!” However, a question as provocative as this actually needs some unpacking, and it really opens a theological can of worms. After all, what does it mean to be a Christian? Does denominational affiliation make you a Christian? Is it belief in Jesus that constitutes your Christianity? Does one need to be “saved” in order to qualify... Read more

Our Hope is Certain

Last updated on: October 30, 2023 at 12:53 pm By Guest Contributor

Often, when I hear a biblical word used out of context with modern, cultural meaning attached to it, I think to myself, in the words of Inigo Montoya from “The Princess Bride,” “I do not think that word means what you think it means.” One such word is hope, which today is used much like the word “wish,” as if there is something that we would like to see happen, but we really don’t know if it will. In faith-sharing... Read more

A Hail Mary Plea For Reconciliation and Unity

Last updated on: July 5, 2022 at 10:09 am By Guest Contributor

By The Rev. Dr. John T. Mathew The theme of the 11th Assembly of the World Council of Churches (August 31 – September 8, 2022 Karlsruhe, Germany) is all about how “Jesus’ love moves the world to reconciliation and unity”. Predictably themes designed for such global events are ornate, even overblown words – here the source of the theme is Jesus’ love. Jesus’ love has power to generate energy, hope, compassion and generosity in this world where we must deal... Read more

True Love Redeems — Purity Culture and the Bride of Christ

Last updated on: July 5, 2022 at 9:56 am By Guest Contributor

By Dayne Batten Christian teaching on sex and relationships is in crisis. Believers on both sides of the evangelical/progressive divide are rapidly reaching the conclusion that the purity movement of the 1990s and early 2000s caused a lot of harm. But this growing rejection of “purity culture” is leaving behind an alarming gap. After all, we still need to talk to our young people about singleness, sex, relationships, and marriage. We might need to do so now more than ever,... Read more

Good People Are Being Deceived

Last updated on: May 31, 2022 at 2:19 pm By Guest Contributor

By James Werning We criticize unfair judicial courts with their biased witnesses, and yet we turn a blind eye to prejudice slander in our news sources. My experience has shown this to be true. For many years I was an outspoken critic of media bias on the other side of the issues, while ignoring my own biases. I simply stopped thinking critically when I heard truth-claims that aligned with my worldview. No matter where we stand on the issues, we... Read more

By Rev. Dr. John T. Mathew The day of Pentecost – commemorated on Sunday, June 5, 2022 – is an anniversary celebration of fun with flashes and flickers of a noise from the sky mindful of a howling wind that filled the whole house where unnerved believers were ready and waiting long ago. What an eyepopping pageant of the tongues of fire that spread out and touched every person there! This was a highly praised experience when the Holy One... Read more

People of Faith Need to Practice Meaningful Self-Care Too

Last updated on: May 27, 2022 at 10:25 am By Guest Contributor

By Sophia A. Nelson The church is facing a serious mental health and wellness crisis in the United States right now. As we end “Mental Health Awareness Month,” following the horrific shootings in Buffalo, New York, and Uvalde Texas, and the gut-wrenching revelations about sex abuse in the Southern Baptist church. I think it’s fair to say that our focus on mental health right now is likely more significant today, to more people, than ever before. And the church is... Read more
