A new study from Barna has revealed that 56% of Christians in the U.S. see their spiritual lives as entirely private. These respondents were also less likely to say it's very important to see progress in their spiritual life, less likely to say their faith is very important to their life today, and less likely to have weekly time with God. However, maintaining intense privacy with spirituality is at odds with Christ's call for discipleship, with the researchers pointing out, "When Jesus discipled the 12, the spiritual and day-to-day matters of their lives intermingled. Life was not private or compartmentalized. Meals and miracles, frustration and affection, sermons and naps, trials and celebrations—they shared it all. Christians should consider what it would mean to do the same today.” Continue reading.

The Orthodox Public Affairs Committee and a Ukrainian archbishop are calling for sanctions to be placed on the leadership of the Russian Orthodox Church, alleging that they are “complicit” in the Russian invasion of Ukraine. In a statement released Monday, OPAC condemned the response of Russian Orthodox leadership to the invasion, writing, "Patriarch Kirill, his possible successor, Metropolitan Tikhon of Pskov, Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokomansk, who heads the Public Relations wing of the Moscow Patriarchate; the Department of External Church Relations (DECR), and the Rev.

"Now that Twitter has taken action against The Christian Post and The Babylon Bee over their tweets calling Rachel Levine a man, will Twitter do the same thing with every former transgender who wishes to share his or her honest story with the world? Why are executives at Twitter so afraid of allowing people to hear the truth about transgenderism on their platform? Could it be that deep down, these executives realize that the truth is what sets people free from gender confusion?" Dan Delzell asks. In this exclusive CP Voices article, Delzell questions whether Twitter executives will be able to look past their flawed perspective on transgenderism, face the reality that those who have sex-reassignment surgery are nearly 20 times more likely to commit suicide, and allow the truth to be spoken on the social media platform—especially from former transgenders who want to tweet that truth.

Enemy aircraft overhead. Heavily armed paratroopers. Tanks in the streets. Bombs exploding nearby. Women and children were killed. Husbands and fathers are directed to the front lines. Escape routes cut-off. The horror of war has come to our Christian brothers and sisters in Ukraine.

Indiana Republican Governor Eric Holcomb has vetoed a bill that would have prohibited biological males who identify as female from participating in girls’ sports.

The bill reads, "California is committed to building upon existing protections to the right to abortion and implement innovative and bold programs and policies to truly be a reproductive freedom state. For decades, abortion funds, abortion providers, and other community-based organizations have provided direct and indirect support to callers and patients with logistical and practical support needs.” Continue reading.

A woman who had been baptized by Jase Robertson and attended the couple's Bible studies asked the couple to be the legal guardians of her newborn son. “In the years past, Jase and I have been involved in multiple ministries—some that we are engaged in with other people, some that we ran ourselves,” Missy Robertson told CBN’s Faithwire in a recent interview. “And in one of those ministries, we got to meet some amazing women, and it was one of these women who needed help at this time." Jase took to Instagram in late February to reveal the new addition to their family, writing, "We felt like this baby fell right out of the sky and Missy was there to catch him." The couple, who share three children together, are also grandparents. Watch the CBN interview here.
