By: Vision Christian Media What Joseph's story reveals to us, and how God speaks through His Word in places we would least expect. The story of Joseph (known for his Technicolor dream coat) is one many know well. A young man with dreams. A family fractured by jealousy. A descent into betrayal, then slavery and finally imprisonment. But there's more to this tale than meets the eye. This was not simply a story about resilience or perseverance.

By: Tosh Sturgess Masculinity has had a pretty bad rap from the media recently, but good men add incredible value to their families, friends, colleagues, community and broader society. There are certainly distorted expressions of masculinity that deserve criticism. Aggression, emotional withdrawal and irresponsibility can greatly wound families. Yet the blessings of a man being a man, especially good fathers, are often the unsung virtues that strengthen and bring deep peace to a family and a home.

By: International Justice Mission (IJM) Online sexual exploitation is one of the fastest-growing forms of child exploitation, and it is not a distant problem.

By: Russ Matthews A warm, funny story of faith, grief and community When three unconventional nuns set out across New Zealand to recover the deeds to their struggling convent, they expect little more than a challenging drive. Accompanied by a young boy carrying his own burdens of grief, an unexpected snowstorm forces the unlikely travellers to confront questions of mortality, loss and what it truly means to trust God and one another.

By: Kamryn Mutzelburg You have more influence than you think. When you hear the word "leader", who comes to mind? A pastor? A CEO? A politician? Most of us tend to think of leadership as something reserved for people with a title, platform or position of authority. But the Bible presents a different picture. In God's Kingdom, every Christian is a leader because every Christian has influence. Neil Johnson and Bible teacher Dr Kameel Majdali know the importance of leadership in a changing culture.

By: Hope Media New McCrindle research reveals Australian parents value updates about their child's social and emotional wellbeing just as much as academic results.

In Psalm 73, the psalmist describes how this almost brought him to ruin. I'll let him describe his dilemma in his own words, Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart. But as for me, my feet had almost slipped; I had nearly lost my foothold. For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked ( Psalm 73:1-3).
