No, the Children of Divorce Are Not ‘Fine’

2 days ago | breakpoint.org | John Stonestreet |G. Shane Morris

A recent post on NextDoor asked, “What is one thing you did for your children that you would wholeheartedly recommend to other parents?” My policy is to almost never post on social media, but I was tempted to reply, “get married and, if at all possible, stay married.” Of course, the decision to stay married must be made by both parties in the marriage. So, in many situations, a mom or dad finds herself or himself divorced against their will.
Don’t Reinvent the Flat Tire

3 days ago | breakpoint.org | John Stonestreet |G. Shane Morris

My colleague Glenn Sunshine is fond of saying, “Let’s not reinvent the flat tire.” In other words, we ought not double down on a solution that definitively failed in the past. Sunshine’s clever editing of the popular saying is relevant to many things, including the recent resurging interest in spirituality. Last month, New York Times columnist Ross Douthat, author of the new book Believe: Why Everyone Should Be Religious, discussed this resurgence on the Ezra Klein Show.
AI is Not Your Friend

4 days ago | breakpoint.org | John Stonestreet |G. Shane Morris

A few years ago, a headline from The Onion mockingly suggested that people who “stink at being human” seem most optimistic about AI. That headline is certainly appropriate when Silicon Valley executives tout another way to automate the human experience. For example, Facebook and Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg recently announced that his company will pioneer AI personas to solve the loneliness epidemic.

DEI and the Vibe Shift: Why Fidelity is Better than Pride

5 days ago | breakpoint.org | John Stonestreet |Timothy Padgett

Recently, communications giant Verizon announced it will end its DEI program. The move follows other prominent companies who have either downsized or dropped diversity quota hiring and education. Something has definitely changed in corporate America. To be fair, Verizon switched its stance because a $9.6 billion merger was on the line.
A Christian Camp Sues Colorado, Supreme Court Refuses to Hear the Case of Banned T-shirt, and Boundaries in Entertainment

1 week ago | breakpoint.org | John Stonestreet |Maria R. Baer

A Christian camp is challenging a Colorado law that forces them to adopt gender ideology. The Supreme Court refuses to hear the case of a Massachusetts student who was sent home for wearing a t-shirt with a traditional message. And what should you watch and what should you avoid?

Kanye, Hitler, and the Marks of True Conversion

1 week ago | breakpoint.org | John Stonestreet |G. Shane Morris

In his book Amusing Ourselves to Death, Neil Postman presciently warned of a few consequences of an entertainment-driven age. Among them was the temptation of celebrity-ism in which fame supplants expertise, and style supplants substance.
Why the Ascension of Christ Matters

1 week ago | breakpoint.org | John Stonestreet |Timothy Padgett

Today is Ascension Day, the day set aside in the church calendar to remember when Christ returned to the Father’s right hand in glory 40 days after His Resurrection. Ascension Day is still a public holiday in several European nations and marks the end of the Easter season. Most American Christians think of Easter as only a day and of Ascension Day as barely a blip on the calendar. However, in different times and places, Christians put a high priority on the Ascension.
The Significance and Incredible Legacy of Nicaea

1 week ago | breakpoint.org | John Stonestreet |Glenn Sunshine

This month, 1,700 years ago, was one of the most significant and consequential events in all of church history. Across the Bosporus Straight from Constantinople, in Nicaea, a council met to settle a question plaguing the church: Who, precisely, is Jesus? Their work shaped the future of Christian theology. In the first few centuries after Christ’s resurrection, Jesus was understood in a variety of ways.
More Darwinian “Just-So” Stories From the Age of AI

1 week ago | breakpoint.org | G. Shane Morris

There are plenty of things to critique about the working theory of evolution. For instance, there is the problem of irreducible complexity, which refers to how living things are elegantly built, using an apparent minimum of parts, and could therefore not have evolved step-by-step from simpler forms. There’s also the problem of the missing transitional forms in the fossil record, especially in layers like the Cambrian, where there is an apparent “explosion” of new life forms without ancestors.
