Shifting to a deeply personal account, we discuss serious allegations involving a crew member from the Christian band Newsboys and the troubling implications within the faith community.

Additionally, we shine a light on proposed legislation in Ohio that seeks to ban all abortions, classifying them as homicide, and the implications for women's rights and state law. Finally, we explore the findings from Lifeway Research revealing that nearly half of Evangelical pastors in the U.S. maintain second jobs, uncovering the reasons behind this growing trend of bivocational ministry.
