A bar without booze

3 weeks ago | wng.org | Kristen Flavin |Mary Jackson

MARY REICHARD, HOST: Today is Tuesday, April 1st. Thank you for turning to WORLD Radio to help start your day. Good morning. I’m Mary Reichard. NICK EICHER, HOST: And I’m Nick Eicher. Coming next on The World and Everything in It: alternatives to alcohol. More people are cutting back on alcohol— or giving it up entirely. Different people have different reasons: some are part of a growing emphasis on personal wellness.
Gen Z’s box office wish

Jan 16, 2025 | wng.org | Mary Jackson

Kelsey Mann, the 50-year-old director of Inside Out 2, needed help dialing into the complex emotions of his film’s 13-year-old protagonist, Riley. So he enlisted a panel of experts: nine teenage girls from across the country, who became known as “Riley’s crew.” Their job?
Are we headed for demographic doom?

Jan 16, 2025 | wng.org | Mary Jackson |Emma Elliott Freire

The afternoon sun shines down on 3-year-old Torsten’s red hair, setting it aglow. His mother, Simone Collins, smiles with pride. “I love how his flamy hair sticks up at the back.” She gestures toward her older children playing on a wooden play set. “So far we’ve had all different colors,” she says. “Maybe with the next baby, to get the full range, we’ll have to start dyeing hair.” Simone and her husband Malcolm have four children today. But they hope for a lot more.
Cru Ends Controversial Sexuality and Gender Training

Oct 28, 2024 | theaquilareport.com | Mary Jackson

During the meeting and in a follow-up email to WORLD, Johnson referred to the Compassionate and Faithful materials as a “learning experience,” not a curriculum. Since most staff had completed the training, Johnson told me it made sense to incorporate future training on sexuality and gender issues into Cru’s Institute of Biblical Studies for incoming staff and interns.

Oct 17, 2024 | wng.org | Mary Jackson

Tim Ballard, 53, founded the anti-trafficking organization Operation Underground Railroad in 2013, but lately his battle has been with certain former associates. Ballard on Oct. 8 filed a defamation lawsuit against six women who accused him of sexual misconduct during his time at the nonprofit.

Oct 9, 2024 | wng.org | Mary Jackson

One of the nation’s leading evangelical ministries is discontinuing its controversial staff training on sexuality and gender less than two years after launching it. Cru employees will no longer have access to the Compassionate and Faithful curriculum by the end of this year, according to a leaked recording of a Sept. 26 meeting for U.S.-based staff.
The corporate backtracking on DEI

Sep 12, 2024 | wng.org | Mary Jackson |Christina Grube

Conservative activist Robby Starbuck made a bold proclamation on social media after beer maker Molson Coors said it would scale back its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives: “Sanity is making a comeback.”On Sept. 3, Molson Coors joined a string of other big-name companies making similar moves, and Starbuck has been riding the wave of success. For months, he’s worked to expose corporations with progressive DEI policies to his more than 600,000 followers on X.
Backlash in Beverly Hills

Aug 15, 2024 | wng.org | Mary Jackson

When DuPont Clinic, a slickly operated Washington, D.C.–based late-term abortion facility, decided to expand into Beverly Hills, California, it had little reason to expect opposition. Indeed, after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022, Beverly Hills City Hall lit up pink in protest. City officials unanimously passed a resolution supporting abortion. And months later, California voters passed Proposition 1, enshrining abortion rights into the state constitution.
A tribute to Dr. Larry Jackson

Jul 24, 2024 | thetruecitizen.com | Mary Jackson

Most of you know him as Dr. Jackson, but I know him as Grandee. After 45 years of caring for patients in Waynesboro, he has officially retired. I like to say it is a family tradition to become a family medicine doctor; his father, brother, and son all went into that field. He graduated with his undergraduate degree from Mercer […]
