I had invested six months, hundreds of dollars, and countless training hours leading up to my attempt to run across Tennessee in a 314-run (500K) called Vol State in the heat of July 2016. The first day had been difficult, yet I had managed fourth place and 98 miles by the end of the first 24 hours.

After a short break, I began again,...

Have you grown tired of the media headlines telling you what this or that person "should do" about the latest controversy? He should arrest that person. She should sue that guy. This company should be avoided. That location should be applauded.

In a world of should and shouldn't, the Bible offers a refreshing word of encouragement:

"Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive...

While many Christians celebrated the resurrection of Jesus last weekend, Monday quickly shifts priorities. Instead of the joy of the risen Christ, there is the daily commute, packing lunches for kids headed to school, or other daily tasks that can quickly erase the excitement of the previous day.

The post 5 Ways to Live Out the Resurrection appeared first on Activist Faith.

I live in Chattanooga, Tennessee, America's "most Bible-minded city" as well as the city with the nation's highest percentage of church attendance. Yet these accolades offered little help to many of those struggling in the city's urban center.

For example, during the same year the city was named "most Bible-minded," public education struggled, gang violence grew and for cities of its size...

At one point in our nation's history, being called a Christian was a good thing. At some point, the word "Christian" became less desirable for many, leading to alternative terms like Christ follower.

Let's face it: Mondays can be tough. Whether it was a long weekend or a difficult work or school situation to face, Monday is the day the most people crave staying in bed rather than charging forth to slay dragons.

The Bible does offer some help in this area. A close look at its encouragement offers four positive ways to face Monday. Each emerges from a quick time of "remembering."
