A 2025 book investigating the power behind the commercialization of pornography argue that "people don’t use pornography: it uses us. And you don’t have to watch it to be one of its victims." This review affirms the authors' critique of pornography and those who control it as a dangerously powerful, globalized industry that is (re)shaping desire, relationships, and social norms. Followers of Jesus need to guard ourselves against this attack on our relationships and our souls.

Celebration of the UK's "Quiet Revival" may have suddenly gone quiet but the experience has left the Evangelical Church with valuable lessons to learn—no more so than to be cautious of confirmation bias (believing something is true because you want it to be so). We do well to ensure that what we are celebrating is verifiably accurate.
Reflecting on Jesus' Palm Sunday example of triumph

Europe Church & Missions Bible & Theology

9 min read

As Christian Nationalism supports brute force and the application of power locally and globally, Palm Sunday presents a reality check for true followers of Jesus. His example is ours to follow, not the example of Constantine. Jesus' triumph, in contrast, was subversive; one of humility, compassion, and grief for those abused by the misuse of power. Only Jesus' way leads to resurrection.
