A new NFL season is here, and while many Christian players praise God for their success, some big-name quarterbacks also see God in defeat. |

From senior editorial project manager Mia Staub: I attended a screening last week for The Uprising. I had not heard of the film until I started getting press releases about it, and I wanted to see it because Andrew Garfield (the lead actor) has done other faith-laden films, and The Uprising overtly talks about God’s will and providence. Garfield says he had an encounter with the figure of Christ while working on Martin Scorsese’s Silence (2016). He has also played a Seventh-day Adventist pacifist doctor in Hacksaw Ridge (2016). |
|
Another reason I wanted to see the movie was because of Garfield’s sweet musings about grief after losing his mother a few years ago, reminding me of the conversations I have had with friends in my church community about personally lamenting those we have lost. |
|
Before you go to the theater out of adoration for Garfield, I would encourage you to read my review. The film is not for the faint of heart even though it has interesting things to say about God’s justice. The movie was too violent for me, but I found it to be another interesting, faith-engaging project to add to Garfield’s filmography. |

What does it mean to be a neighbor? While we often think about our neighbors as those we know and befriend, the gospel expands our view, redefining a neighbor as anyone who acts with mercy. Being a neighbor means showing up and staying present, even when it is difficult or uncomfortable. |
|

For our 70th anniversary issue, we’re studying the past. Excerpts from our archives show evangelicals in Billy Graham’s day and our own grappling with our place in public life. A new book offers a fascinating history of Christian womanhood—but makes a misleading argument, according to our reviewer. We’re also peering into the future. Artificial intelligence, GLP-1 drugs, anti-aging surgeries, next steps for the pro-life movement: These are some of the issues likely to occupy Christians for the next seven decades. But mostly, we’re spending time in the present: With a Honduran man who found himself pastoring in a Massachusetts jail while detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. With the evangelical owners of a traditional Korean spa engaged in a religious freedom showdown. With faithful believers doing good work—a chef, an architect, a ball boy, a teacher (who, at age 91, is older than CT!). And with the writers of our newly expanded testimony section, who found God’s faithfulness in the midst of alien conspiracies, after a bad accident, and via an envelope in a refrigerator. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Amid our own era’s change, conflict, and uncertainty, we hope this issue declares that reassuring truth. |
