Resistance of a Racist Rebel, Part 1
The word of God came to Jonah, but Jonah turned away. God said to go east; Jonah went west. God said to speak; Jonah stayed silent. Did this rebel prophet thwart God’s plan?

Learn how the grace of God shines through even in the rebellious turn of a racist prophet.

Fractured Faith: America's Spiritual Landscape Divide
America's spiritual landscape is more fractured than many realize, with shocking disparities in biblical worldview across states. George Barna's groundbreaking research shatters conventional assumptions about which regions maintain stronger faith foundations. Even in Alabama and Mississippi—the states ranking highest in biblical worldview—only about one in eight residents (12. 5%) view the world through a consistently biblical lens. The national average stands at a mere 4%, highlighting a profound spiritual crisis that transcends political divisions. Texas delivers perhaps the most surprising result, ranking just 30th among 45 states surveyed. This challenges the perception of Texas as a uniformly faith-centered state, with Barna attributing this partly to significant population shifts over the past 25 years—gaining 9 million new residents while losing 5 million former Texans. Major urban centers like Austin and Houston show particularly low biblical worldview percentages. The regional rankings contain further surprises. While the South predictably leads in biblical worldview percentage, Western states—including California, Oregon, and Washington—rank second, outpacing the Midwest. Barna suggests this counterintuitive finding might indicate that faith-hostile environments actually produce more resilient, clearly defined believers who must intentionally maintain their worldview against opposition. Most troubling is New England, where only 1. 8% of residents maintain a biblical worldview—less than half the national average. This represents a profound transformation for the region that once served as America's spiritual foundation. These findings demand intentional action, particularly in worldview development for children who absorb cultural values without filters. This begins with honest self-assessment of our worldviews against scripture and normalizing biblical perspectives in an increasingly secular culture. Ready to strengthen your biblical foundation?
