Christian author and apologist Robin Schumacher discusses Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, and why he believes Freud's misguided views on both faith and sexuality have, in turn, negatively influenced how people view sex today. "The progression from Freud’s original teachings to the point where we’ve come today is summed up perfectly by Carl Trueman in his book, The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self, when he says: 'The self must be psychologized; psychology must then be sexualized; and sex must be politicized,'" Schumacher writes.

A common argument among abortion advocates is the myth that pro-life advocates do not support mothers. Samuel Sey discusses why the pro-choice Left is far more damaging to mothers and notes there are four times more crisis pregnancy centers than Planned Parenthood locations.

Life.Church Pastor Sam Marin recently preached a sermon during which he spoke about how many Christians struggle with self-doubt when it comes to their Bible knowledge and ability to lead a small group or pray aloud. During his "Facing Your Insecurities" message, Marin said other Christians experience self-doubt due to their past or current sins in their lives. The pastor explained, however, that "God knew exactly what he was doing when He made you" and encouraged the audience to practice "self-love" and recognize, "We are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus so we can do the good things He planned for us long ago." Watch now.

In this interview with The Christian Post, Kirsten Watson, the executive editor of MomLife Today, discusses the importance of "taking a breath." Watson, who is the wife of former NFL star Benjamin Watson, shares the inspiration behind her new book, Sis, Take a Breath: Encouragement for the Woman Who's Trying to Live and Love Well (but Secretly Just Wants to Take a Nap), and why it's important for all women to take a moment to slow down and reflect on all that God has given them. Watson cautions against a culture too focused on comparisons, saying, "When we do it on our own, we tend to become our own God … and that's tiring, I don't think it's sustainable. I think that's why there's burnout. … and that's why we do look to Instagram where everything looks perfect because we know in our heart of hearts that that's not really what's going on."
