Does Jesus Tell Us to Prioritize Caring for Our Own? - Christianity Today The story of Jesus and the Canaanite woman is provocative, but for different reasons than we might think.

This week may be a good time to share this article I wrote for @christianitytoday.com on whether Jesus asked us to prioritize caring for our own families: www.christianitytoday.com/2024/10/jesu...

Composure, Saints! This is a vital witness to our faith in Christ in any era of chaos.

Upon waking, let us meet with Jesus and trade our fear & anger for his courage & compassion.

Rely on God.
Read Scripture.
Be brave.
Pray valiantly.
Act like grownups.
Help the hurting.
Love defiantly.

Protestants are the largest in 81% of counties.

Catholics lead in 17% of counties.

Adding some of these to my TBR list!
