- Dad Life: Walking the Tightrope of Work-Life Balance – Paul Stippich with the Institute for Faith, Work & Economics encourages all parents to embrace the “one day at a time” mentality when attempting the work-life balance.
- Can We Really Have Hope Without Suffering? – Chelsea Steele writes on Relevant Magazine and dives deeper into what the Bible means when it says “we also glory in our sufferings.”
