    Figures Flip the Field in College Football

    College football is no longer defined by tradition, coaching, or recruiting classes—it’s ruled by money.

    The Lone Juror Who Hung the State

    A lone juror stood against the state. While eleven peers accepted the evidence and the judge’s instructions, one refused to convict. He believed the law was unjust, the punishment excessive, and that the jury’s duty was greater than obedience. This act—jury nullification—remains little known but profoundly powerful. In a locked room, twelve citizens are the…

  • Faith Under Fire

    Faith Under Fire

    The 20th century was the bloodiest for Christians, with over 35 million martyred. The 21st century is no reprieve.

In America, hostility takes new forms—church arsons, lawsuits…
