Personality Clash: John Owen and Richard Baxter in Conflict
When I think of recent feuds, musicians like Drake and Kendrick Lamar or athletes like Kobe and Shaq come to mind. I’m surprised by how hot the emotions get when observers choose sides. The substance of these trivial beefs rarely leaves the circles of pop culture, yet their effects seep into our lives. We get so accustomed to the silliness of these debates that we sometimes underestimate substantive divisions in our circles and fail to navigate them well.
‘Waiting Isn't A Waste’ by Mark Vroegop
Recently, I was searching for a job after an unexpected layoff. The cycle of applications, calls, networking, and interviews was ponderous. I wasn’t sure how things were going to work out. Prolonged uncertainty and lack of control pushed me into self-doubt and a sense of purposelessness. I felt I was wasting time.
The legacy of Willie Mays through his iconic baseball cards and career numbers
The numbers Willie Mays consistently posted throughout his career tell a remarkable story even for those who never got a chance to see him play. Not only did Mays put up milestone numbers in key counting categories, but his statistics also hold up by more modern measures as well. He played in 3,005 games (ninth most in history) across 23 seasons, the majority spent with the Giants, first in New York and later San Francisco.
Review: ‘The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory’ by Tim Alberta
A few hours after he laid his dad to rest in 2019, Tim Alberta recounts, a family friend and elder at his father’s church wrote him a handwritten letter accusing him of treason. He was allegedly part of an evil plot to undermine God’s ordained leader. The explicit suggestion of the letter was that he could restore himself by using his journalistic talents to expose “the deep state.” It wasn’t just the timing of the letter that felt inappropriate but the certainty and strength of the position.
Review: ‘Don't Follow Your Heart’ by Thaddeus Williams
In Greek mythology, Narcissus was a hunter known for his beauty. He fell in love with his own reflection in a pool of water and was so enamored that he wasted away there. Can we escape the captivating pond of our own admiration, or are we destined to become modern echoes of that timeless myth? From Nero to Nietzsche, Rousseau to Foucault, history is littered with sad lives and tragic endings of those prophets and purveyors of self-worship.

'Tombstone' 25 years later: Revisiting the cast of the surprise Western hit
"Tombstone" is one of those movies that you rewatch on cable and everyone who shows up gives you a spark of recognition. There's Val Kilmer giving a scenery-chewing performance as Doc Holliday. There's John Locke from "Lost," the villain from "Titanic," even "Bad Santa." And is that Charlton Heston?

Guest column: Time for Con Con
The U.S. Constitution will withstand the challenges of an Article V Convention, writes Brian Gross. No matter where you are on the political spectrum, I think we all can agree our Constitution remains one of the greatest, most venerable documents ever written. However, even the Framers knew it would need to be changed. On twenty-seven occasions, using the process defined by Article V, Congress proposed amendments that would be ratified by the states and become part of the Constitution.
