| Christians in Nigeria Killed on Palm Sunday for Sharing Faith Tragic violence struck a Nigerian bar on Palm Sunday, leaving at least 22 dead as armed assailants and an angry mob targeted Christians.  In the U.S., we rarely have to worry about being persecuted for believing in Jesus. While there are people who disagree with us, the violence is far and few between compared to foreign countries around the world. On Palm Sunday, 2026, this was sadly the case. At a local bar in the city of Jos in Nigeria, around 8 p.m., gunmen killed at least 12 people while an angry mob killed an additional 10. Attacks on Christian communities have been common in recent years, but the violence around the Middle Belt and north has been steadily increasing in the weeks leading up to Easter. Located in the Angolan Rukuba neighborhood, Plateau State, the...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

| Bulls Waive Jaden Ivey for Criticizing LGBTQ Pride Month as 'Unrighteous' A prominent NBA player was waived by the Chicago Bulls following controversial comments made about the league's support for LGBT Pride Month.  A prominent NBA player who ranked second on his team in scoring last season was waived by the Chicago Bulls on Monday following comments criticizing the league’s celebration of LGBT Pride Month. The Chicago Bulls announced they had waived guard Jaden Ivey “due to conduct detrimental to the team” after the fourth-year player made the comments during an Instagram livestream, criticizing what has become a key part of the league’s messaging. The world celebrates “Pride Month and the NBA does, too,” Ivey said in the video. “They show it to the world. They say, ‘Come join us for Pride...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

| A Chick-fil-A Goes Viral for Giving Free Ice Cream to Families Who Put Phones Away How a heartwarming initiative at select Chick-fil-A locations is encouraging families to disconnect from their phones and reconnect with each other, offering free ice cream as a sweet incentive.  It’s a familiar scene in modern society: individuals sitting at a restaurant, not deep in conversation or even trading light banter about the weather, but instead staring at their phones, doomscrolling in silence. A handful of Chick-fil-A locations across the United States are gently pushing back on screen addiction by offering free ice cream to families who resist the urge to scroll, and instead do what was common during the pre-smartphone era: talk. The promotion is not company-wide but has recently gone viral and drawn praise from...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

| Pastor Held at Gun Point at Funeral A funeral in Detroit took an unexpected turn when an unbeliever pointed a gun at the pastor, yet the service continued with 10 people finding salvation amidst the terrifying ordeal.  When most people think of a funeral, they think of grief, sadness, and silence. Visitors shuffle in to pay their respects and greet families worn out by exhaustion. In Detroit, Michigan, however, one young man’s funeral was interrupted by a threat and gunpoint. On Saturday, March 28th, 2026, Pastor Darthanian Nichols of Breaking Chains Outreach Ministries, officiated a funeral at New McFall Brothers Funeral Home.

| Gen Z Leads Belief that Revival Is Coming to America, Survey Finds A recent poll reveals that nearly one-third of Americans, particularly Gen Z, believe a spiritual revival is imminent within the next year, with many citing prayer and a search for meaning as catalysts.  Millions of Americans believe a spiritual revival is on the horizon, according to a new poll that also finds younger adults are the most likely to say it’s just around the corner. The new survey from Barna, presented in partnership with Gloo as part of the 2026 State of the Church initiative, found that nearly one-third (29 percent) of U.S. adults believe a spiritual revival will either definitely or probably “happen in the U.S. in the next 12 months,” led by members of Gen Z – 38 percent of whom share that expectation.

Gateway Church, with locations across Texas and founded by Robert Morris, has been recognized for helping others connect with God, find community, and deepen their faith. A recent scandal, however, has put the church's reputation in jeopardy. In October of 2025, the Texas megachurch founder, Robert Morris, pleaded guilty to child sex abuse and was sentenced to 6 months in jail. The case stemmed from 55-year-old Cindy Clemishire, who said that the pastor abused her when she was just 12 years old. Though the abuse took place in the 1980s, Clemishire hoped that sharing her story now would “help lift up others' shame and allow...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

In the summer of June 2002, I can still remember watching the premiere of ABC Family’s American Idol. Watching Kelly Clarkson and Justin Guarini fight for the top spot, seven-year-old me thought it was the best show in the world. Claiming the title as the winner of the First Search for a Superstar, Kelly Clarkson went on to produce dozens of unique albums, including Breakaway, Thankful, Stronger, All I Ever Want, and the Meaning of Life, to name a few. Through the last few decades, the show faced innumerable changes. From judges to participants, 2026 may have brought the best changes yet. In...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

The “Quiet Revival” That Never Was? Have reports of a revival of Christianity in the Western world been, to paraphrase Mark Twain, “greatly exaggerated?” Last week, the Bible Society of the UK pulled a much-discussed report that had suggested the nation was undergoing a “Quiet Revival.” On the website, CEO Paul Williams admitted that “the 2024 survey sample on which our report The Quiet Revival was based was faulty, and it can no longer be regarded as a reliable source of information about the spiritual landscape in Britain.” The data in question had been compiled by market research firm YouGov, which recently acknowledged that it had not employed usual quality controls and had included responses now known to be ‘fraudulent.’ The Bible Society report that coined the phrase “Quiet Revival” was issued in April of last year.

The Fall was not good; sin, disobedience, and suffering are not good. But God’s purpose in creation and the redemptive drama that ensued were – and are – good. Some would put God in the dock for placing such a burden on human life—that through our creation and giving us free will, He knew the suffering we would...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Did you know, according to Barna Research, 60% of church leaders today use AI at least a few times a month? While this may not seem like a lot, many pastors worry that AI usage could soon replace their guidance in congregations all over the world. Why ask your pastor when you could ask artificial intelligence anything at any hour? While AI certainly has its benefits, such as brainstorming, creativity, efficiency, fact-checking, and organization, many pastors are troubled by the impact of the device on current ministry.

Understanding the Soul of a Conflict Requires Having One Today on Breakpoint, apologist Abdu Murray, author of the new book Fake ID, describes how the war in Iran has exposed two blind spots—one diplomatic, one technological—that share a common root. Here’s Abdu Murray: On February 28, 2026—the first day of U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran—a Tomahawk cruise missile hit the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ elementary school in Minab, killing at least 165 people. Most of them were girls between the ages of 7 and 12. Ironically, women and girls spearheaded Iran’s most significant recent uprisings—and the regime killed thousands in response. Now, in the effort to strike that regime, it was girls in a classroom who paid the price—not deliberately, but tragically. The regime denies its women dignity.

This piece offers encouragement and a crucial shift in perspective, reminding you that faithfulness, not just rapid growth, is the true measure of success.  This is for all the church planters and their volunteers on post-Easter Monday, struggling to make it from week to week, and for the leaders and members of established churches that are anything but “mega”—well below the 200 threshold in terms of average attendance. I don’t know how Easter Sunday went for you, but I have a hunch. It was bigger than normal, but less than a breakthrough. It was good, but not great. Your attendance was large, but not staggering; worth being happy about, but not writing home about. You are grateful to God, but now that Easter...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

A pair of churches in Mississippi and Pennsylvania have gone viral for a humorous “policy change” declaring that loud children are not only tolerated in their congregations – they are welcomed with open arms.

As the war in Iran continues to rage, the persecuted church is growing! And so is the need for Bibles and other teaching materials. It’s estimated that there are between 1 and 2 million Christians in Iran who are a part of the persecuted church.

Johnny Hart Pointed People to Christ in the Funny Papers On Holy Saturday 2007, cartoonist Johnny Hart died of a stroke while working at his drawing table. Hart was the award-winning creator of the popular comic strips “The Wizard of Id” and “B.C.” which, at one time, reached 100 million readers worldwide every day. In a 1999 BreakPoint commentary, Chuck Colson identified Hart as “the most widely read Christian of our time,” with “more readers than C.S. Lewis, Frank Peretti, and Billy Graham combined.” Raised in a moderately religious home, Hart’s faith became more serious around 1984 when a born-again father-son team installed a satellite dish in his home. Not long after that, his Christianity became evident in his comic strips.

Or that when you ordered that chicken al pastor with extra guac at Chipotle, you were subsidizing IVF and surrogacy, which is intentionally creating children who will be separated from their mother or father.

| Fifty Years Ago As America approaches its 250th anniversary, a stark spiritual and societal transformation has occurred since the Bicentennial in 1976, marked by declining religious belief and increasing diversity.  In July, America will celebrate its 250th anniversary. I distinctly remember our last national milestone, the Bicentennial celebration of turning 200 in 1976. I was 14 years old, getting ready to enter my freshman year of high school. It was a big deal, and the levels of national pride and celebration were palpable. It doesn’t quite feel the same this time around. Not just because of our deep divisions over ideology and politics. Not just because of culture wars. Not just because of rising oil prices or the war with Iran. It’s because it’s just a very different America spiritually. Just Google...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

According to Biola professor and theologian Thaddeus Williams, yes, we can. It all involves four facts from seven non-Christian scholars and six Hollywood movies. Here is Thaddeus Williams: First, the facts. Fact one—Jesus died by crucifixion. Outspoken critic of Christianity Bart Ehrman argued, “Since no one would have made up the idea of a crucified messiah, Jesus . . . must really have been crucified.” Gerd Ludemann called it “indisputable,” while Pinchas Lapine considered it “historically certain.” Fact two—The disciples had experiences from which they concluded that Jesus rose bodily from the dead.

Artemis, the Greatness of God, and Human Exceptionalism Early this week, three Americans and one Canadian traveled further from home than anyone else in human history. At a maximum distance of over 252,000 miles, the Artemis mission broke the record previously set by the doomed Apollo 13 mission in 1970. Prior to a space launch like this, most of the discussion has to do with engineering. Will we be able to pull it off? What kind of precision is required? However, in space, the conversation shifts from human capacity to awe. Asked to reflect on it all, Artemis astronaut Victor Glover saw not the vast emptiness of space but the wonder of our place in it, and what that must imply. Prompted for an impromptu Easter sermon, Glover said: I’m trying to tell you, just trust me, you are special. In all of this emptiness, this is a whole...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

The Supreme Court recently ruled against a law banning “conversion therapy” in Colorado. The 8-1 majority sided with a Christian counselor who argued that the law banning talk therapy violates the First Amendment. The case, Chiles v. Salazar, had to do with a Colorado law that prohibited counselors from offering therapy to minors that would discourage elements of their sexual identity and orientation. Instead of “conversion therapy,” they could only offer “acceptance, support, and understanding.” A Christian counselor, Kaley Chiles, argued that the law burdened her First...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Morality by What Standard? The prophet Isaiah warned, “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil.” A modern example, as Dr. Al Mohler recently described on The Briefing, is the “moral incoherence” of believing life is sacred and valuable while also rejecting any consequences for those who take it. Recently, the state of Georgia charged a woman with the murder of her 22- to 24-week-old baby, who died within an hour of birth after her mother took abortion pills at home to terminate the pregnancy. This is the first murder charge in the state related to its six-week abortion ban. The Washington Post article that covered this story concluded by citing a 2022 Economist/YouGov poll.

Reed, a senior center who led the team in scoring (14.7 ppg.) and rebounds (9.0...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Astronaut Victor Glover, Back Home, Is Still Pointing People to Christ’s Love Victor Glover may be back on Earth after a historic journey to the moon, but he’s not finished talking about the God who gave him the opportunity to get there. Glover and the Artemis II crew returned to Earth Friday after a roughly 10-day mission, splashing down in the Pacific Ocean following a flight that sent them around the moon and tested NASA’s Orion spacecraft and Artemis system in the first crewed lunar mission in more than 50 years. The mission set records for the farthest distance humans have traveled from Earth and marked the first time astronauts had ventured that close to the moon since the Apollo 17 mission in 1972. It also set the stage for a future crewed lunar landing – just as Apollo 8 did in 1968. Glover made headlines while in...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

| J.D. Vance's Son Baptized on Easter Sunday Vice President JD Vance recently shared the profound joy of witnessing his six-year-old son, Vivek, undergo baptism this Easter, reflecting on the preciousness of such moments. When someone receives salvation or gets baptized, everyone in Heaven rejoices. What joy is experienced when the person who receives this new life is a child entering the Kingdom of God. This Easter, JD Vance, Vice President of the United States, got to experience this joy when his 6-year-old son, Vivek Vance, chose to be baptized in their local Catholic church. In his recent address at Turning Point USA’s Tour event at the University of Georgia, Vance reflected on this special moment, noting that he can’t imagine not getting to share that moment with his son.

This selfless act of honesty, inspired by his faith, earned him praise and an unexpected...  An 18-year-old Chick-fil-A employee in North Carolina was on a break after a long shift just days before Easter when he spotted two envelopes in the men’s restroom that many would have dismissed as trash. But that employee – Jaydon Cintron – went the extra step, first by not ignoring it and then by choosing to act on what he found. “They were on the floor next to the toilet.

A retired NASA astronaut who has flown to space three times – and whose unexpected 286-day mission made worldwide headlines – says manned space exploration flows from humanity’s desire to discover and is a pursuit that ultimately points back to God. Barry “Butch” Wilmore is a veteran NASA astronaut and former U.S. Navy test pilot who first flew aboard Space Shuttle Atlantis in 2009 to the International Space Station, and later returned to the station in 2014 as part of Soyuz TMA-14M.

| Understanding Our Temptations Explore the profound temptations Jesus faced in the wilderness, revealing how understanding these ancient struggles can illuminate our own modern-day vulnerabilities.  The Bible tells us that Jesus was tempted in every way and, from that, He can understand our weakness. But do we understand the nature of those temptations that Jesus faced and, from them, understand our own weakness? The clearest portrait of the temptations Jesus faced can be seen in the wilderness, where He faced four – yes, four – direct seductions. Stones to Bread First, Jesus was tempted to turn stones into bread. For Jesus, this was the temptation to use His supernatural power for His own personal needs. To be motivated by selfish desire. In other words, the temptation is related to motives. Why...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

God and the Big Bang The idea of the Big Bang was first put forward by Dr. Edwin Hubble, the man after whom we named the Hubble telescope. His theory was that, at one time, all matter was packed into a dense mass at temperatures of many trillions of degrees. Then, about 13.8 billion years ago, there was a huge explosion. From that explosion, all the matter that today forms our planets and stars was born, and the universe was created. Hubble’s idea was confirmed through what was then called the discovery of the century. On April 24, 1992, the Cosmic Background Explorer satellite, better known as COBE, gave stunning confirmation of the hot Big Bang creation event. In many ways, it really was the birth of modern cosmology. Now, we already knew that something cannot come from nothing. We also now know that the universe isn’t...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Aliens, UFO’s, and the Demonic: Thinking Like Christians About the Weird Stuff Recently, Vice President J.D. Vance admitted that he is “obsessed” with UFOs and extraterrestrial visitors. He then suggested that what are often identified as aliens could be masquerading demons. As Vance put it, “I think one of the devil’s great tricks is to convince people he never existed.” Vice-President Vance is in a growing company of those, including many Christians, who are fascinated with aliens. And especially for Christians, right thinking about ET begins with getting our worldview right on the existence of the natural and supernatural. In fact, the rise of vague spiritualities not firmly rooted in Christian doctrine has fostered many modern beliefs about aliens. Decades ago, C.S. Lewis rightly stated why we often prefer vague spirituality over encountering the real...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

The Tennessee legislature and governor have approved a countercultural resolution declaring June as Nuclear Family Month and affirming marriage as the union of a husband and wife during a month when much of society will be celebrating LGBT Pride. Gov. Bill Lee signed the resolution last week, days after it sailed through the state House and Senate on votes of 72-14 and 26-4, respectively. It states that the “nuclear family, consisting of one husband, one wife, and any biological, adopted, or fostered children, is God's design for familial...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Candace Cameron Bure said during the opening service of this week’s America Reads the Bible event that standing on God’s Word has come at a cost in both opportunities and relationships – but that she would choose the same path again and continue standing firm on Scripture.

A striking new survey reveals that women, particularly young women of color, are increasingly leaving religious institutions, challenging notions of a religious revival and highlighting a significant "religion gender gap."  A significant survey came out this week from the Washington, D.C.-based Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI). The big reveal was that women are leaving the church. The survey first noted how most demographic patterns are holding—e.g., the percentage of Americans identifying with Christianity remains around 40%, and the percentage of the religiously unaffiliated remains around 28%. And younger Americans continue to be less religious than older Americans in terms of both religious affiliation and regular church attendance.

The Age of Acceleration Randall Christopher Niles has been leveraging information technology to share the Gospel, proclaim truth, and counter lies for a few decades now. Through GotQuestions and AllAboutGod, he has used the internet as a tool to point people to Christ. Recently, he tackled the question of AI. How he described its perils and promises is something every Christian needs to hear. Here’s Randall: Every generation is shaped by its tools. The Industrial Revolution replaced muscle with machines and reshaped labor, cities, families, and time itself. Steam engines led to factories. Factories led to mass production. Mass production led to modern economies. Then came radio—the first technology to speak to millions at once. For the first time in history, a single voice could enter every living room, shape public...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

After a long, hard journey, NASA astronaut and Artemis II Commander Reid Wiseman broke down in tears after returning from his mission. Though “not a religious man,” the astronaut felt such emotion after his victory that he requested to speak with a Navy chaplain. According to the Christian Post, on Thursday, April 16th, 2026, Wiseman and many other NASA astronauts who returned from this mission spoke at a press conference at Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. Sharing their experiences in space, Wiseman was asked if what he experienced was a “universal...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Poll Shows UK Christians Feel a Sense of Cultural Pressure In Their Beliefs While a vast majority of UK Evangelicals feel legally free to practice their faith, nearly half report increasing difficulty in publicly expressing their beliefs due to cultural shifts and social sensitivities. According to a study titled "Confident Faith, Contested Culture," 884 respondents in the U.K. gave their opinion on practicing their faith without restriction (Evangelical Alliance). While most say they can presently and largely practice their beliefs without legal barriers, many are concerned that a cultural shift is coming. In addition to the 884 U.K. Evangelical Christians surveyed, an additional 1,500 respondents were polled. While Christians do continue to read their Bible, pray, and openly discuss or share their faith, the report revealed that an...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Taking a Life to Save an Organ On March 26, 25-year-old Noelia Castillo Ramos was put to death by the Spanish government. She had not committed any crime. In fact, she was the victim of a horrendous one. In 2022, Ramos was sexually assaulted by a group of men, which compounded her existing mental struggles and led to at least two suicide attempts. One of the attempts left her with permanent injury and constant pain. Eventually, she appealed to die by euthanasia, which had been legalized in Spain in 2021. For two years, her parents tried to save her with the help of a Christian law group. In the end, the government and medical authorities determined her life was not worth living. One of her friends was even prevented from saying goodbye to Ramos out of fear that she’d convince her to change her mind and want to live. Authorities had reason to fear...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

From lift-off to splash-down, the 10-day mission of Artemis II around the moon and back captivated and encouraged the world. A single hashtag captured the global sentiment: #moonjoy. And it flowed from the astronauts themselves. As Ashley Hales wrote for Christianity Today, “From doing group hugs and working while a floating jar of Nutella stole the spotlight to wearing eclipse sunglasses like ’80s kids and recreating the Full House TV show intro, the four astronauts were full of joy.” She writes: During the week of the Artemis II mission,...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

How Christian Is Your Worldview? A few weeks ago, a man who should remain unnamed but claims to be a Christian, called The Hiding Place “[o]ne of the most subversive books around.” In his framing, Corrie ten Boom, who hid Jews during World War II, was a villain who cooperated with Communists and who was guilty of “shielding Christ’s enemies.” He is a recent example of what are growing fringes on both the Left and the Right, who claim the mantle of Christianity while preaching a false and misleading “gospel.” Each side is quick to call out the other when they are guilty of misrepresenting Christianity, and there are plenty of examples. From the Left come politicians such as James Talarico and “Christian” clergy offering blessings for abortion clinics.

Trans Skeletons and “Just So Stories” According to The Daily Mail, some “scientists” may have found evidence of “the first non–binary person.” Stone Age societies embraced “complex identities” and flexible gender roles, experts have revealed, after unearthing the skeleton of a woman who was buried like a man 7,000 years ago. Studies of 125 skeletons across several cemeteries in?Hungary?have found that while the majority of people were buried according to their gender, some defied the norm. Since people who lived 1000 years before Abraham didn’t post their pronouns on social media, we’ll just have to trust the “research article” that was published in the American Journal of Biological Anthropology under the title “Fixed and Fluid: The Two Faces of Gender Roles—A Combined Study of Activity Patterns and Burial Practices in the European...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |
