Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the second woman to be appointed to the Supreme Court, died Sept. 18, 2020 after battling metastic pancreatic cancer. She was 87 years old. While she has done much to pioneer women’s rights in government, she was also an advocate for abortion and keeping religion out of government.  Ginsburg, or “the Notorious RBG” as she came to […]

As the coronavirus has invaded every aspect of American life, preventative measures against sickness has become everyone’s top priority. Masks have risen to special prominence, being recognized by many as the superhero of defense against the virus.  Masks have had just as big of an effect on America from a social perspective, however. They have become a universal symbol of […]

When churches were first labeled as non-essential across the U.S., I felt my heart tighten. This pandemic was hitting hard. Not only was it attacking society at a physical level, but the mental health of many was suffering, too. You would think that during a time like this church would be crucial. Many governors did not agree. Although as a […]

There is a deafening silence coming from Americas’ pulpits, and if the silence carries on, Americans will pay the price. This silence is seen in the lack of Christian voices speaking loudly on political issues.  More often than not, the church has allowed the government to take control of issues that Christians are commanded to be responsible for. Now, people […]

It is hard to believe that November is just over a month away, and it is even harder to believe that it is an election year. Not to mention that 2020 has been a rollercoaster in itself, where Americans seem to be more divided than ever. Nov. 3 marks election day. It will be my first time as an eligible […]

Critical Race Theory has replaced the precious message of the gospel for far too long, and the Church must wake up. You may not know what the term “critical theory” (CT) means, but I can guarantee you have seen it play out or someone has tried to teach the ideology to you. More recently, critical race theory (CRT) plays a […]

Cancel culture is harsh, and it has become a negative trend in society through the influence of social media. I would go as far to say that it is a toxic concept and reaps more harm than good.  The concept of cancel culture deals with “canceling” public figures, brands or individuals that have done or said something offensive or deemed […]

Every time I drive by a Planned Parenthood location, I feel a knot in my stomach twist as I think about what happens in that building every day. These grey, cold buildings sit in the middle of neighborhoods with a haunting presence, advertising healthcare for women, but by the looks of the exterior, there seems to be no sense of […]

Governors and health officials across the country have drawn the ire of an emerging anti-mask fringe movement. These fledgling activists feel that the government either has no legal authority to implement such a mandate, or that the government has no moral authority to impose restrictions of these kinds in peoples’ personal lives.  In fact, at Liberty University, a handful of […]

There’s a specific worship song I’ve found myself listening to lately: “His Mercy is More,” sung by Matt Boswell and Matt Papa. This song always takes me back to the truth of the gospel, and reminds me of what my soul so desperately needs when it is plagued by guilt: God’s mercy triumphs over judgment.  “Stronger than darkness, new every […]

To say I love Disney is a pretty big understatement. Some of my favorite childhood memories involve the classic Disney movies. When I was younger, my sisters and I would get our favorite coloring books, grab our arsenal of rainbow-colored markers and sit at our table after school, where we would color as we watched our favorite Disney movies.  We […]

For most college students, the past few months of quarantine, social distancing, masks, takeout and Zoom meetings have caused opportunities for face-to-face interaction to dwindle to a bare minimum. We were plucked out of our routines and social lives by a pandemic that has killed over 175,000 Americans. In addition, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention already reports a […]
