⬨ How to Flourish as a Creative Minority
For a long time Christians in the West could live under the illusion they were in the majority. That is no longer so. Now how do we react to that? Here is some advice from an Orthodox Jew on how to keep—and pass on—the faith in an increasingly pagan culture.
"From my vantage, it appears that American Christians in general and evangelicals in particular are perplexed as to how to handle a world in which they are but a minority.

⬨ Did Paul Persecute Christians?
Occasionally skeptics actually manage to come up with something new.
"On Bart Ehrman’s YouTube channel earlier today, Robyn Faith Walsh asked, “Did Paul Really Persecute Christians?” In less than seven minutes, she offered her “interpretation” on the matter, which is that Paul did not persecute Christians, but rather “pursued” them in an effort to correct their bad teaching. Ten hours later, the video had already garnered over four thousand views. Walsh gave two main arguments in support of her interpretation, both of which I will address here."
More than 10k views later, this is something we may be hearing soon from people we know.
