Ozzy’s Faith Was Louder Than You Think

Last updated on: August 12, 2025 at 8:44 am By Travis Henry

For so many Gen Xers, the music of Ozzy Osbourne was a constant soundtrack growing up in the ’70s, ’80s and into the ’90s. Ozzy often drew the ire of the old folks and establishment, which only made his music more enticing.

Tipper Gore may have warned the... Read more

IRS Steps Back—Now the Pulpit Steps In

Last updated on: July 15, 2025 at 7:58 pm By Travis Henry

0 Comments

Religious organizations and leaders have begun responding to the Internal revenue Service’s relaxation on a rule that prohibited pastors and other religious leaders from endorsing political candidates from the pulpit without forfeiting their tax-exempt status. This recent pivot comes not from legislation, nor from the repeal of statute, but through a joint legal filing submitted in federal court. The plaintiffs: two churches and the National Religious Broadcasters Association. The defendant: the United States government. The contention: that the 1954 Johnson... Read more

With New Jersey’s popular Governor Phil Murphy stepping aside, the race to lead the Garden State has taken center stage—and with it, the intersection of faith and politics. After a crowded primary season featuring 11 candidates, voters have now narrowed the field to two: Democratic U.S. Representative Mikie Sherrill and Republican former State Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli. Both candidates won decisive victories in their respective primaries, but as the general election heats up to an eventual showshown in November, so too... Read more

Faith and the 2025 New Jersey Gubernatorial Race

Last updated on: June 2, 2025 at 9:14 am By Shawn Paul Wood

With 11 candidates vying for votes in New Jersey to become the new governor, they will need more than campaigning savvy and eloquent debates to stand out. The six Democrats and five Republicans may need a little faith to end up in Trenton. Even though 9.5 million people live in the Garden State, the candidates only required 2,500 voter signatures to qualify for the Gubernatorial run. The primary election is in June, but do people of faith have enough information... Read more
