    Why Christians Should Care About Adoption

    Vicky Stinziano—who is raising six kids through a mix of birth and foster care—argues that Christian engagement with adoption goes deeper than compassion. Adoption is the gospel relived: seeking out the vulnerable, claiming them as our own, paying a great price to give them a family and a future. Drawing on Romans 8, Hebrews 2, and the everyday witness of families who open their homes, Vicky calls Christians into a calling that requires not perfection but faith. Vicky leads the Every Child Initiative, a ministry focused on envisioning, equipping, and empowering disciples to have gospel impact in the lives of vulnerable children.

    On the Virtue of the Medical Profession

    Stephen Johnson offers an encouragement to medical professionals—those in the field, those bordering on burnout, and those considering it as a calling. He makes the case that medicine aims at intrinsic goods, that Christian voices are urgently needed in today's hardest medical ethics debates, and that the most consequential ministry usually happens not in boardrooms but in ordinary hospital rooms—where presence itself is the medicine.

    Assisted Suicide and the Meaning of Life

    Many who request assisted suicide do so because they desire to live—not die. Stephen Johnson explains how the Christian perspective on the meaning of life provides hope to those in need. A note on this episode: We address assisted suicide in this article, and recognize it is an incredibly painful topic for many. However, today’s cultural moment demands that we address it. We seek to do so carefully. Mentioned in this episode: The Permanent Council of the French Bishops' Conference statement (January 2026)Ewan C.
