Soul is making a comeback: Wyatt Graham begins, “Everything seems to suppress soul. We live to catalyze efficient products. Our labour is counted, quantified, and measured. Human resource departments view us as human resources. They measure our performance by mechanical standards, and our salary relies on whether or not we have added value to a corporation. Work commodifies humans as resources; it is why HR departments exist. You are coal to be mined.”
Gen Z women struggle to find their way in Christian faith and community: A recent Barna study reports, “Currently, young adult women report the lowest rates of Bible reading, prayer and church attendance among their peers.”
Why (Really) do we become prayerless: Seth Troutt says, “What was the mental, emotional, or spiritual path that took me away from an awareness of God’s presence, away from obedience to the command to “pray without ceasing” (1 Thessalonians 5:17)? I usually notice a combination of three things: disappointment, deviancy, and distraction.”
Archaeologists uncover Good Shepherd fresco: It’s a beautiful find. “The tomb in the village of Hisardere is believed to date to the 3rd century, a time when Christians still faced widespread persecution in the Roman Empire.”
Most and least sinful cities in America: To no one’s surprise, Rudie Obias reports that Las Vegas comes in at #1. I bet #2 surprises you, though. And every Tucsonan will deviously smile when they see where Phoenix lands on the list.
