Abby Johnson, the CEO and founder of And Then There Were None, opens up about her time working for Planned Parenthood and an anonymous letter she recently received from a woman who accused Johnson of lying to her and talking her into having an abortion that has caused her a lifetime of regret.

Asbury United Methodist Church in Tulsa is severing ties with the United Methodist Church due to what it describes as the UMC's "slow and steady drift" from its historic Christian mission.

Former "Gold Rush" star Todd Hoffman has come back to the small screen to give viewers a more intimate look into his family and how their faith helps them navigate gold mining in Alaska. The Discovery series, "Hoffman Family Gold," premiered Friday and marks the patriarch's return to mining after a four-year hiatus to focus on his family. During an interview with The Christian Post, Hoffman said he told Discovery, "'We think we have something to share where our faith can shine through. We don’t want this to be a dark reality show where people throw wrenches at each other.' I said, ‘[Yes], If you guys can agree to allow us to pray, if you guys can agree to allow us to be us, and on TV encourage everybody in the world, not just Christians, anybody.' They said, ‘You know what? We’re game. We want you guys back, the Hoffman’s back.’" Watch the trailer for "Hoffman Family Gold" here. The show is currently streaming on Discovery Channel.
