How does Christ’s Good News intersect when Bad News happens … in the nation, in the world, in a community, in the lives of individuals and families and congregations?

A unique perspective today, from an elected government official who spoke words of compassion and honesty and hope, following a tragedy on Easter Monday 2023.

A shooter entered a bank in the heart of Louisville, Kentucky, causing death and injuries and fear, shooting 13 people. At a news conference just a few hours later, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear spoke plainly and boldly about the message of Easter and his own Christian faith.

Family Life’s Greg Gillispie narrates this timely Special Feature.

How to combat “Swatting”, guns in schools, and Native American mascots

Swatting is intentionally calling in fake threats of violence against schools, hoping to create a SWAT Team response. It’s been a recent epidemic seen in Pennsylvania, New York and many other areas of the nation.

A March 27 school shooting in Nashville brings to the forefront again questions about safety and security — and the emotional responses — for students, school staff, and families.

A New York Education Department edict for school districts to eliminate certain mascots and nicknames is causing decisions and budget implications for school boards and administrators.

 

Education watchdog Ralph Kerr weighs in on the weighty issues of the day as they pertain to our public school families and taxpayers. Here’s our update on what’s happening in early April. Dr. Kerr is the founder the Teaching and Learning Institute, headquartered in Houghton, New York.

“It’s come from the universities.”

That is the evaluation of how Cancel Culture gets spread and becomes the de-facto reality for many in today’s American culture from Professor Paul Kengor of the Institute for Faith and Freedom. As college professors and curricula at most schools promote political and social stances in one direction, people are silenced if their conscience and core values have them arriving at differing viewpoints.

In this conversation with Family Life’s Greg Gillispie, Kengor also offers what he says is heartfelt advice to parents and families of today’s high school and college students.

In addition to being the Senior Director and Chief Academic Fellow of the Institute on the Grove City College campus in Pennsylvania, Dr. Kengor is also the senior editor of The American Spectator and a frequent commentator on social, cultural and faith issues.
