This article from Ligonier Ministries titled “Courage for a New School Year” addresses the new academic chapter that many students may be facing this fall. Andy Young encourages students to find comfort in these three reminders when they enter their classrooms: 1) Take courage in God’s promises, 2) take courage in God’s Word and 3) take courage in God’s presence. Young shares, “As you face change, new beginnings and even significant challenges, take courage. Christians can face anything in the strength of the Lord and with the courage He has given to us.”

This article from The Christian Broadcasting Network titled “Ex-Atheist Who Escaped Horrors of Communism Becomes Christian YouTube Star, Inspires Next Generation” highlights the testimony of Ruslan KD, a well-known podcaster, performer and influencer. His journey was riddled with many hardships from an early age. Despite ongoing battles with drugs and unbelief, the Lord’s salvation came out on top, bringing Ruslan into a saving relationship with Christ. Now, he hopes to use his platform to inspire and serve others. “What I’m trying to do with everything we’re talking about is to encourage, empower, and inspire people to live a life that blesses God,” he said.
