My Interview With A Pro-Cannabis Minister

Last updated on: April 9, 2018 at 7:25 pm By Guest Contributor

a guest-post by Shane McCormick How many religious leaders in 2018 support legalizing cannabis? Very few, but here is my take-away after an interview with one who does.

The purpose of the interview was to educate myself and others about the fight for the legalization of... Read more

How The Bible Can Be Damaging to People with Depression

Last updated on: January 9, 2018 at 9:15 pm By Guest Contributor

As a teen, I read the entire Bible. Twice. Deuteronomy, with rules about weird sores on the body, 1 Chonicles and the list of who “begat” whom, and all. Not one verse helped. I clung to verses of encouragement as I lay sobbing and screaming into pillows, wracked with internal pain. Hopeless. Pleading for God to help me, to deliver me. I could find only one verse that I identified with: “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”... Read more

Last updated on: December 26, 2017 at 12:17 pm By Guest Contributor

Dear Matt Walsh, Christians Actually Do Have the Responsibility to Engage with the Welfare State

Last updated on: December 14, 2017 at 2:19 pm By Guest Contributor

2,000 years ago, the twelve Apostles of Jesus who had been leading the early Christian Church gathered to discuss an allegation that would have been all-too-familiar to a modern American audience: its welfare policies were failing to serve the needs of racial minorities. The Acts of the Apostles (the book that immediately follows the Gospels in the Christian New Testament) reports that after the death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus, the early Christian church experienced a rapid growth in numbers....
