When Glory Fades: The Emptiness of Life Apart from Jesus
We live in a culture that glorifies self—self-expression, self-discovery, self-fulfillment—but apart from God, our glory always fades. Like a tree cut off from the sun, our souls wither when disconnected from the Source of life. In this article, Bonnie Pue explores the profound truth that there is no glory for man separate from the glory of God.

Am I Addicted to Porn?
Your identity is not in your addiction—it’s in Christ. That truth is the foundation from which all deep healing begins.

How to Be Clean Again
As we have ministered with churches over the last number of years, bringing messages about God’s design for sexuality, we have recognized the way that sexual experiences deeply mark people—they feel unclean.

If you’re called to youth ministry, you’re stepping into the front lines of a rapidly shifting culture. To navigate this, one quality is non-negotiable: a passion for discipleship.

The Looking Glass: seeing clearly in a confusing cultural moment
Have you ever wondered how you see the world—and why? It’s because of your worldview, a set of beliefs and assumptions that shape how you interpret life, make decisions, and find purpose.
