Does God Speak to Politicians?
Entering the turbulent election of 2024, we wonder—is God moving in our nation?

God’s Presence Is in Every Sphere
In a world often divided between the sacred and the secular, it’s easy to compartmentalize our lives, relegating the divine to church walls while viewing everyday activities as devoid of spiritual significance.

The Reason Why D.C. Needs Discipleship
After Jesus’ resurrection and before He left His disciples, He spoke a clear mandate to these future world changers: “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations” (Matt. 28:19).
