Tennessee-based healthcare provider Wellpath, LLC, will pay $75,000 to a Pentecostal nurse to settle a religious discrimination lawsuit brought by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

In looking at Scripture and the current state of the U.S., Schumacher encourages readers to look to poorly elected officials as a reason for God's judgment.

As part of the research, which examined 75 adult males who reported same-sex attractions and wished to explore their sexual attraction fluidity, participants worked with professional therapists using Reintegrative Therapy, a treatment method that aims to identify and resolve past traumatic memories. However, few have heard of this research, and Big Tech is to blame, Joseph Nicolosi, Jr. writes.

Senate Bill 46, "An Act to protect fairness in women's sports," received overwhelming support in the House and Senate.

Lecrae and Trip Lee opened up about their decision to part ways professionally with Gawvi after their fellow Christian artist was accused of sending unsolicited explicit photos to women while he was married. "When women come to our concerts or interact with us we want them to be encouraged and blessed, not taken advantage of," Lee told Relevant Magazine.
