Contrary to ridiculous reports, America is merely witnessing a Christian reboot, not a Christian revival. And reboots are rarely as good as the original.
Amid rampant AI and social media, Gen Z is turning to religion
One of the reasons that a previous increase in secularistic thinking is slowing is because Generation Z, born between 1997 and 2012, is becoming more religious, with two-thirds identifying as spiritual, religious and believing in a higher power.
New research sheds light on why women are more religious than men
Women continue to outnumber men in religious belief and practice across most societies, even when the faith promotes traditional gender roles that limit their social, economic and legal freedoms.
Evangelical Pastors and The Challenge of Eastern Orthodoxy
For the past few years, I (Christian) have observed online discussions about how more and more evangelicals, especially young evangelical men, are becoming interested in Eastern Orthodoxy. At first, I dismissed that trend as another example of how social media algorithms have a way of connecting and amplifying isolated events, giving a false sense of a mass movement. However, my perspective suddenly shifted when, in three unrelated instances, young people at my local church came to me expressing either concern about or explicit interest in Eastern Orthodoxy and its claims.

Praying to a golden calf

The Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention, the largest Protestant denomination in the U.S., issued a statement Friday night saying that “Regardless of the circumstances in which the video was made or shared, the depiction of the Obamas was inexcusable, and we are glad the video was taken down."
What Is Dispensationalism? Its Distinctives, Contributions & Possible Pitfalls

How Should Pastors Organize Their Libraries?
Most pastors don’t need encouragement to buy books. They need help figuring out where to put them.
Why We Sing
The Christian faith is a singing faith. A singing saint brings deep joy to the heart of God. There is not a chapter and verse in Scripture that explicitly states this, but when you consider the sum of singing commands and the role singing plays at so many critical points in redemptive history, we easily come to the conclusion that our God really, really likes to hear his people sing....
The Breakthrough Prayer
What you think is your own resolve is actually the result of their resolve and their labor in prayer.
Scientists reveal the alien logic of AI: hyper-rational but stumped by simple concepts
A new study suggests that artificial intelligence systems approach strategic decision-making with a higher degree of mathematical optimization than human players, often outperforming humans in games requiring iterative reasoning. While these large language models demonstrate an ability to adapt to complex rules and specific competitive scenarios, they differ fundamentally from human cognition by failing to identify certain logical shortcuts known as dominant strategies. The findings appear in the Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization.
Anthropic rewrites Claude’s guiding principles—and entertains the idea that its AI might have some kind of consciousness or moral status
Anthropic is overhauling a foundational document that shapes how its popular Claude AI model behaves. The AI lab is moving away from training the model to follow a simple list of principles—such as choosing the response that is least racist or sexist—to instead teach the AI why it should act in certain ways.
Claude has an 80-page “soul document.” Is that enough to make it good?

She’s an in-house philosopher at the AI company Anthropic, and she wrote most of the document that tells Claude what sort of personality to have — the “constitution” or, as it became known internally at Anthropic, the “soul doc.”

Moltbook, a new “social network” built exclusively for AI agents to make posts and interact with each other, has caused a stir online but it also comes with some serious security concerns, experts say.
Humans are not invited to join the social media platform, but they can observe - and some are hijacking the site and roleplaying as AI.
Opinion: America does not have a protein deficiency problem: It has a fiber problem
In 2025, the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, an independent panel of scientists, published a report that recommended shifting protein intake away from red and processed meats and toward beans, peas, lentils, other vegetable protein sources and seafood.
