This article from Christianity Today titled “You Can Love Rap, Jesus, and the Color Pink,” highlights the work of Christian hip-hop artist, Wande. Wande has collaborated with many Christians artists, including Maverick City Music, TobyMac and Lecrae. Working to release her new single, “Pray For Me,” next month, Wande views her job as a calling to lead others into worship. She stated, “[Christian hip-hop] has been a great entry point for people who are open to exploring God but don’t feel ‘holy’ enough to go looking for Christian music.”

Young believers are preparing to attend the Warrior Leadership Summit and Summer of Hope, an annual youth outreach on Native American reservations. Team leader Weston Francis shared, “We hear from the students even just this year of how they have craved for something like this– they have craved for a community of believers to walk alongside with and grow with.”

This article from The Gospel Coalition titled “The Key to Companionship for Singles,” encourages single believers not to narrow down their faith journey into finding a spouse. While marriage is a beautiful gift from God, John Lee wrote, “Future hopes of marriage don’t encapsulate the Christian single life.” John Lee encourages believers to keep their eyes fixed upon Christ and faithfully serve the spiritual family He has promised us– the Church. “A single Christian life doesn’t have to be a lonely life,” he wrote.
