Many people are raised on a simple script: work hard, get a stable job, stay loyal to one institution, and security will follow. For Lela Tuhtan, that script shaped her early life and career—and then became the very stor

From the outside, Steve Rotermund checked all the Christian boxes. He’d gone from a powerful Promise Keepers experience to volunteering, sensing a call to ministry, and eventually stepping into pastoral leadership. He se
Most conversations about peace stay either abstract and idealistic, or narrowly focused on the latest crisis. Robert Atkinson’s work refuses that split. An award‑winning author, developmental psychologist, and pioneer in
Some dads pass on a lifetime of memories; John Fela’s father handed him two words: “Don’t panic.” Growing up on the north side of Chicago in a stereotypical blue‑collar Catholic home—with a truck‑driver dad who drank eve
Healthcare conversations easily drift into policy, budgets, and systems. Constantine “Kosti” Psimopoulos insists the place to begin is with a wounded traveler on the side of the road. An Orthodox Christian, Harvard‑train
Before she held titles like “executive director,” “chair,” or “professor,” Najeeba Syeed was a little Muslim girl on a school bus in southern Indiana whose family simply needed halal meat. Her father, a grad student at I
For many Christians, Purim is a minor feast attached to a familiar children’s story about Esther. For Jennifer Rosner—and for Jewish communities around the world this year—it became something far more immediate. As Jews
Dan Nichols has lived both sides of the modern church story. On one hand, he planted Restored Church in Wilkes‑Barre, PA from the ground up, started the Northeast Leadership Summit, and launched the Northeast Collaborati
What happens when the life you built around love, faith, and routine suddenly falls apart—and the country outside your front door feels just as fractured? In The Salt and Light Express, Lee Ann Walling follows an older w
For many believers, “church” has become the measure of spiritual life: the services attended, the prayers repeated, the doctrines affirmed. Don Britton’s story cuts across that assumption. After decades as a businessman
Ask what Latinos in the United States believe, and you’ll often hear quick answers: “mostly Catholic,” “becoming more evangelical,” “socially conservative but….” Arlene Sánchez‑Walsh has spent her career showing why thos
From the outside, Shea Odom’s story could be summarized as “a heart patient who survived.” Born with a congenital heart defect, undiagnosed until heart failure at six weeks old, she underwent her first open‑heart surgery
