In honor of Father’s Day, we asked CT staff to weigh in on how they’ll be celebrating this year, though we also included a contrarian take. |
|
From features editor Kristy Etheridge: My husband asked for a wooden phone speaker (a little box that amplifies music while keeping your phone out of your hand). I found one on Etsy and personalized it with his initials. Our kids will decorate a card for him, and we’ll probably head to the park for a picnic after church. And of course I’ll call my dad! |
|
From executive assistant Ronda Patton: I will recognize my nephews and nephews-in-law who are dads, because they are some of the best fathers I know. Since my dad and grandfathers have passed away, Father’s Day looks different for me now. After church, I’ll visit my aunt’s nursing home with small gifts for fathers who may not have visitors and spend some time listening to their stories and loving on them. |
|
From deputy editor Bonnie Kristian: My sole Father’s Day celebration is writing or editing some fatherhood articles for CT. My husband is a great father—he heavily inspired my article last year about involved millennial dads—but we don’t celebrate this or Mother’s Day. |
|
From international editor Angela Fulton: For Mother’s Day, my husband cooked me a delicious dinner of smoked Wagyu steak. So for Father’s Day, I’m planning to find a good Thai green curry recipe to make one of his favorite dishes. Maybe also tom yum soup if I’m feeling ambitious—wish me luck! |

Summer camp is a staple in the lives of so many children, and a source of fond memories for millions of adults. But for kids with a parent in prison, every day can feel like a life sentence. Not only are they missing a parent at home, fun experiences like summer camp can feel out of reach. But through Prison Fellowship Angel Tree camps, children can experience God’s love through the great outdoors. |
|
At camp, kids with a mom or dad in prison meet new friends like them and learn that they’re not alone. They get space to reflect, make memories, and receive God’s love while surrounded by nature. When you give today, you’ll help make sure that every child gets to experience a life-changing week at an Angel Tree camp. Will you donate now to send a child to camp this summer? |
- Half of pastors say they use artificial intelligence as part of their work, though over 70 percent of pastors feel cautious about the technology, according to Barna Group.
- Three Giants pitchers who wrote Bible verses on rainbow-themed ball caps recognizing LGBTQ advocacy received a warning from MLB. That caused GOP senator Josh Hawley to write to MLB’s commissioner asking whether there is a "pattern of discrimination" against Christian players.
- A day after advancing to a runoff election for an Oklahoma House race, Pastors for Trump founder Jackson Lahmeyer suspended his campaign. The Tulsa pastor admitted to "crossing a boundary" with a woman who is not his wife. The move caused President Trump to rescind his endorsement.

June 18, 1546: Protestant Anne Askew is condemned in England for denying the doctrine of transubstantiation (the idea that sacramental bread and wine turn into the body and blood of Christ). When asked by her accuser, "Sayest thou that priests cannot make the body of Christ?" she answered, "I have read that God made man; but that man can make God, I never yet read, nor, I suppose, shall ever read." |

Throughout Scripture, God calls his people to be faithful and steadfast as we abide in him. Isaiah reminds us our faithfulness is fleeting "like the flowers of the field," yet our hope is secure when we place it in God, so our strength is renewed (Isa. 40:6, 31). In this issue, we consider stories of resilience. Historian Thomas S. Kidd shares missionary Adoniram Judson’s hardship and fortitude in Burma (now Myanmar). Emily Belz reports on Minnesota churches today that are supporting persecuted Karen Christians, also from Myanmar. Haleluya Hadero reports on groups who are determined to help Gary, Indiana, achieve a more resilient future. We also consider Tish Harrison Warren’s new book and feature an interview with her. Rooted in the person of Jesus Christ, Christian resilience is about more than having grit or bouncing back. |
