A Counter-culture of Love

This week, we’re excited to share a conversation between Zach Davis and New York Times columnist and author David French. David French began his career as a constitutional litigator, with a special focus on religious liberty. He has since become known for his thoughtful, principled political writing, having worked previously for The National Review, The Dispatch and The Atlantic. In their conversation today, David emphasizes the need for Christians to move from a fear-based political culture to one centered on care and compassion for our neighbors—and that instead of seeking political control or domination, Christians should embrace equality for Americans of any or no religion.

When stress rises, try this: pause, close your eyes, and think of the Savior. Picture His love, His sacrifice, and His peace. Hand your worries over to Him, and let His Spirit replace stress with comfort. The Savior already paid the price—why carry something He’s already lifted?

The Ongoing Tug-of-War Between Tradition and Change

This week, we’re welcoming back our good friend Jeff Strong. Last year, Jeff and his team sent out a survey to the Faith Matters audience as part of a larger research project on faith and church participation. Over 1,600 of you responded, and the results were fascinating! We’re excited to share them with you today.
