Why are churches losing members? According to Carey Nieuwhof, it’s not just about attendance—it’s about changing priorities. Greater affluence, self-directed spirituality, and a failure to see tangible value are all reshaping how people engage with church. His conclusion? More hype and technology won’t reverse the trend. What many people are looking for is authenticity and genuine community. What do you think keeps people connected to a church community? #churchleadership #discipleship #faith #community #churchgrowth #christianity

When the University of California dropped SAT and ACT requirements, supporters argued the tests were racially biased. But some critics—including Wall Street Journal columnist Jason Riley—argued the opposite: eliminating standardized testing may hurt the very low-income and minority students it was meant to help by removing a way to demonstrate academic potential. Now, some top universities are restoring testing requirements as concerns about student preparedness grow. Has the conversation around standardized testing changed? What role should standardized tests play in college admissions? #education #sat #collegeadmissions #equity #academics #highereducation

As America approaches its 250th anniversary, one question stands out: How has this republic endured for so long? John Stossel’s interviews point to limited government, individual rights, property ownership, and checks and balances as key reasons for America’s success. But they also warn of growing debt and political division. Benjamin Franklin’s words still ring true: “A republic, if you can keep it.” What do you think has been America’s greatest strength? #america250 #constitution #freedom #americanhistory #republic #civics

Why do civilizations collapse? Historian Arnold Toynbee argued they die by suicide rather than murder. In "Suicidal Empathy," Gad Saad builds on that idea, warning that empathy without reason can become destructive. He points to immigration policy, policing, and hiring practices as examples of decisions driven more by emotion than long-term consequences. His prescription is simple: keep your rational mind engaged, ask what happens next, and recognize that not every idea deserves equal acceptance. Compassion matters—but wisdom matters too. Can empathy go too far? Join the conversation. #empathy #publicpolicy #culture #leadership #criticalthinking #westerncivilization

As we celebrate 250 years of America, there is a growing need to make the case for this country again. One helpful book is "The Case for America" by Bret Baier. It’s structured like a courtroom case: opening argument, testimony, closing argument, and a final verdict. Baier asks: why do we date America from July 4, 1776? His answer: because the Declaration of Independence was the moment we publicly became the United States of America. His “testimony” highlights five themes: • unity despite dissent • a beacon of freedom • resilience • opportunity • civic ideal His conclusion: the American Dream is challenged—but the case for America is still strong. Do you think America still needs to make its case? #america250 #americanhistory #usa #freedom #americandream #civics

President George Washington said that America was an “experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people.” He also said that “the smiles of Heaven, can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right.” So as we approach America’s 250th anniversary, we need to seriously consider this question… will the American experiment continue? That answer depends on We the People... Are we willing to preserve our Constitutional freedoms?  Are we willing to resubmit ourselves to the “eternal rules of order and right” that George Washington acknowledged as the foundation of our country?  If you answered “yes,” join Point of View to help restore a biblical foundation in this nation and preserve freedom for the next generation.

If you look at the American economy, you see a high and a low. The stock market is at a record high, while consumer sentiment is at the lowest ever measured—44.8. Americans feel worse about the economy than in 2008 and even worse than during COVID lockdowns. This is what many call a K-shaped economy: • One leg is growing for those with assets • The other is struggling for working Americans • Wall Street vs. Main Street The last time we saw this level of economic divergence was 1929. Inflation is still at 3.8%. There are commodity shortages tied to global supply disruptions. Credit card debt is rising. Americans are even spending more on lottery tickets than on movies, books, concerts, and sports. Affordability will be a defining political issue this year. What do you think is driving this divide? #economy #inflation #wallstreet #mainstreet #affordability #usaeconomy

Biblical archaeology is experiencing a "golden age of apologetics." From Jericho and Solomon’s fortified cities to Hezekiah’s Tunnel, the Pool of Siloam, Peter’s home, and the famous “Jesus Boat,” archaeological discoveries continue to affirm the historical reliability of Scripture. These findings don’t create faith—but they can strengthen confidence in the Bible’s accuracy and trustworthiness. What discovery do you find most compelling?

There’s one person who could have spared the country the disaster that was the Biden Administration. Jill Biden.  If only she had told the Democrats in 2016: ‘No, I’m sorry, I can’t put my husband through it. He’s not mentally capable of undertaking a run for the White House and certainly not of being president. Or, at least—in 2020, knowing of his decline—she should have protected him from the ridicule and ignominy she had to have known a real campaign would bring, Instead, she betrayed her wedding vows, the Democrats, and the country.  A March opinion piece in The Capitalist bears the title, “Jill Biden is the most evil woman of, the 21st century.” Writer Daniel Turner explained that marriage vows promise that “no one, not even the children, no one will look out for you, my spouse, as much as I will. And if you are too incapacitated to make a decision like ‘how do I walk off the stage?’ then I will try to take those decisions away from you. I will not give you more, larger, graver decisions because I cherish you.”  Jill Biden, instead, capitalized on her husband’s incapacity. Her gain was the country’s loss. Daniel Turner wrote, “It hurts to revisit” what President Biden left. “The filth. The weakness. The wokeness. The depravity.” What Jill allowed “made us all weaker, poorer and worse off as a nation.”  When asked in a recent CBS interview, what she was thinking during the humiliating debate performance that sealed the end of her husband’s campaign, Jill Biden lied yet again, claiming she “had, never, ever seen Joe like that before or since.” She had. We all did. Jill Biden told her interviewer, she thought her husband was having a stroke during the debate. Instead of getting to a doctor, she took him to a rally. She addressed the crowd. They went to Waffle House. #politics #joebiden #jillbiden #leadership #accountability #presidency #government #politicalcommentary #americanvalues #truthmatters #holdleadersaccountable #constitution #civicengagement #publicservice

David McCullough once worried that America’s leaders had forgotten history. Today, that concern may be even more relevant. Studies have found that many Americans can’t name the three branches of government or identify rights protected by the First Amendment. Even graduates from top universities often struggle with basic civics knowledge. An informed citizenry is essential to a healthy republic. Understanding our history and constitutional freedoms matters more than ever. What do you think schools should do to improve civics education?

For years, U.S. intelligence agencies gathered extensive information about Soviet military strengths but overlooked Soviet weaknesses. Under CIA Director William Casey, that changed. By identifying vulnerabilities and applying pressure, President Reagan shifted from defense to offense. Eight years later, the Berlin Wall fell, and two years after that, the Soviet Union ceased to exist. The lesson: intelligence gathering, like science, requires knowing what questions to ask and what objectives you hope to achieve. What lessons can today's leaders learn from this approach? #china #coldwar #ronaldreagan #cia #intelligence #history #leadership

Freedom in America rests on three foundations: morality, limits on government power, and respect for human rights. When citizens have a moral compass, government can remain limited. When power is checked, liberty is protected. And when we recognize that our rights come from our Creator, freedom has a firm foundation. The concern today is that many young people were never taught these principles. If we fail to pass them on, morality, limited government, and human rights may become relics of the past. Teach these principles to your children and grandchildren today. What do you believe is the most important foundation of freedom? #freedom #civics #constitution #humanrights #limitedgovernment

If you plot federal tax revenue as a percentage of GDP, you get an almost horizontal line. Economists call it “Hauser’s Law.” Top tax rates have swung from 90% in the 1950s to 37% today, yet federal revenues still hover around 17–19% of GDP. Raising tax rates doesn’t necessarily raise tax revenue. The current tax debate could use a little economic reality. #taxes #economy #deficit #federalbudget #economics

It's officially June!

College students are sounding the alarm about shrinking attention spans—and many point to social media. One student called TikTok “an endless cycle of bright colors and catchy sounds” designed to keep users scrolling faster than the brain can process. Others warn that constant personalized content is rewiring young minds before they even enter school. Parents should pay attention to these warnings from students themselves. What role do you think social media plays in attention spans today? #socialmedia #attentionspan #tiktok #mentalhealth #genz #parenting #technology

Texas Children’s Hospital has agreed to stop all gender transition procedures on minors after a settlement with the DOJ and Texas AG. The hospital will pay $10 million for Medicaid fraud and fire five doctors involved in the procedures. Dr. Eithan Haim, the whistleblower who exposed what was happening, says: “I’ve seen true evil up close.” #transgender #texas #childrenshospital #gendertransition #parentalrights #culture

Did TV Dinners help create our modern screen addiction? Columnist Bob Greene argues that Americans were being trained decades ago to eat, relax, and live in front of screens long before smartphones arrived. What started with TV trays and frozen dinners may have paved the way for today’s phone obsession—where family meals are interrupted by endless scrolling. Maybe it’s time to put the screens away at dinner again. Do you think TV changed family life for better or worse? #screentime #smartphones #familytime #technology #culture #digitaladdiction
