While we often hear stories of such persecution, we can easily forget that this is an issue of one man standing for his faith in a…

In a little weekend inspiration, I wanted to share a powerful story form a recent news headline. An American missionary whose wife was slain by suspected drug smugglers says he wants to continue her work in Mexico despite the dangers.

Chick-fil-A recently donated food to an anti-gay marriage group and has been blasted in the media recently as a result. What should we make of this media uproar?
