Today, Abigail recaps a conversation she had with her Counteract NWA women’s cell last week about the trend of true crime media, why we’re so weirdly obsessed with it, the reality of spiritual warfare, the power of the Holy Spirit, and the hope we as Christians have in heaven. “For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not of...

When we don’t want to seek the Lord? But if we were to...

Today on the Counteract Podcast, Abigail talks about this idea of just going to school, doing what the professor wants, "getting the grade," and getting out of there. But as Christians, is this something we can really do? Or are we called to be bold witnesses for the gospel in all areas... even the classroom? "For 'everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.' H...

Today, Grant breaks down the concept of multiculturalism: what it is, what it does, and how, despite common belief, it doesn't really work. Note: Multiculturalism has less to do with individuals, and more to do with a sense (or lack thereof) of shared values and a national identity that are essential to the cohesion of a nation. As Christians, we love people of all backgrounds and beliefs, but...
