Some thoughts on Bill C9. "Should Christians be worried about Bill C9?"

Prayer is communion with God that heals us: new research reveals measurable mental-health benefits—dampened anxiety, calmer brains, deeper purpose and resilience—while distinguishing prayer styles and their psychological payoff. This isn’t airy theology but data suggesting spiritual formation shapes emotional wiring. A must-read for practitioners seeking evidence-rooted soul care.
Recent science suggests fasting is more than ancient ritual: an MIT-linked study finds it regenerates gut stem cells, accelerates healing, and metabolically resets the body after feasting. For Christians, the findings provoke a deeper question—has spiritual formation always carried embodied wisdom modern research is only now beginning to grasp again?

Simple baptism idea: let each person bring someone to the water with them.
1. Pastor does the baptism.
2. Their person hands them the towel as they come out of the water.
3. One line from the pastor gives the church context: "This is Trish. She's joined today by her mom, Hannah."
Most people come to faith through a relationship. This honors that.
You come out of the water into new faith and there's the person that helped you get there with open arms.

There is a person in your city right now who has never heard of your church.
They're not opposed to faith. They're not running from God. They're on their phone. Scrolling. And your church has something to say to them.
The Great Commission didn't come with a footnote.
Every tool available to reach the lost - social media is now one of them.
