YouTube was founded in 2005. Today, 16 years later, 82 years worth of video content is uploaded to YouTube every day (or 500 hours every minute). To put that in perspective, you could grow up, go to school, get married, become an anthropologist, have two kids, watch them grow up,...

“You desire truth in the inward parts, and in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom.” –Psalm 51:6 Would you rather have the ability to fly or to sometimes be invisible? When I was first asked this question, I thought it was a no-brainer. Flying would be...

“So, what do you think is going to happen in the future?” The guy sitting next to Maria in one of her classes at the University of California in San Diego turned to her abruptly and asked. “I feel like an apocalypse is coming.” A couple years before, a question...

I work at a school for special needs children. Historically, there’s been very little effort expended to help people with mental illnesses, and when there was more help, only the wealthy could afford it.

Play. Pause. Translate. Play. Pause. Translate. It’s the early 1980s in China. A small group is listening to a cassette tape recording of a Bible study. They play it for a few seconds, push the pause button, someone translates into Chinese, and then they repeat the process. The tape is...

The gospel is good news, not good advice. It doesn’t tell us what we must do but rather what God has already done for us. And what He’s done for us is so monumental and complete that we literally can’t add anything to it. In fact, the gospel is such...

When it comes to metaphors of God’s love, Fathers often get the spotlight. They no doubt communicate God’s love in an irreplaceably unique way. But Scripture tells us that it takes both genders to understand the fullness of who God is (Genesis 1:27) and God actually compares Himself to mothers...

It wasn’t an official church missionary who brought the literature to West Africa. It was Hannah More, an American missionary who worked for another denomination in Liberia1. While Hannah...

“I wish I could believe in God, but I’ve never heard Him explained in a way that made intellectual sense. He might as well be the Easter Bunny.” These are the words of a friend of mine who gave up on God despite the fact that he attended faith-based schools...

Winnie is a changed woman. Her life was on the path of destruction, which, in turn, was destroying many others’ lives. But Jesus has changed the trajectory of her life completely and forever. Winnie was born in a family of five children. After high school, she enrolled in a college...
