Want to feel like a NASCAR driver?
Maybe not. Earlier this year, the New York Times told the story of Kevin Lepage, who left NASCAR after a 20-year career that included more than 550 races. When he walked away, no one said goodbye or called him. His departure was unnoticed, which brought stabs of pain. "They didn't care about me when I was there," he said, "and they didn't care about me when I left."
Perhaps you feel unappreciated too. At home, at work, at church. Does it seem others simply don't see you? Though I've been blessed in my life, I've experienced the sense of being treated thoughtlessly. That's why the first chapter of Luke's Gospel came alive to me as I studied it in preparation for writing my book. |

September 2 — Good news for "House of David" fans: Season 2 of the biblical drama, based on the story of Saul and David from 1 Samuel, will premiere on October 5, only 6 months after the Season 1 finale. It will first appear exclusively on the Wonder Project platform before becoming available on Amazon Prime Video. A new family-friendly subscription service, Wonder Project will launch with over 125 titles and 1,000 hours of programming — both new releases and old favorites — for $8.99 per month.

| September 3 — Recent Barna research corroborates earlier reports of a shift in U.S. church attendance trends, with men (45%) attending church more frequently than women (36%) for the first time. Indeed, women's weekly attendance has been declining for 15 years, though it is now slightly rebounding. Younger generations like Gen Z and Millennials are attending church more often, while Boomers are stepping back. (Barna) |
| September 3 — For the first time, digital Bible distribution has surpassed print, with 25.9 million digital copies shared in 2024 compared to 22.5 million printed copies. United Bible Societies reported a rise in digital engagement, including 28.3 billion chapter views on Bible apps such as Bible Gateway. Spanish, Portuguese, and English accounted for half of all printed Bibles, with Brazil leading in distribution by a wide margin (4.2 million), followed by India (1.8m) and China (1.6m).

What's the purpose of praying, fasting, solitude, giving, and all manner of what we might call good Christian practices?
My friend, Mart Green, and I set out to write a book on these practices called Learning to Be Loved. On that journey, we realized that many Christians view these practices as things God expects of us. He commands us to pray, fast, and give, expecting us to hit the mark. Failing to do these things, then, feels like we are letting God down.
But there's a story from Jesus's life that proves this view to be exactly backwards. |
