By Abigail Aguilar — Child star Danica McKellar dropped acting to get a degree in mathematics from UCLA, came back to acting, then dropped her skepticism to accept Jesus Christ. “I’d always been so biased against Christianity for causing wars and you think Christians are these really judgmental people, all this religious stuff,” she says. “The truth is Jesus was anti-religious. I saw this passion play at church with Candace (Cameron), and I suddenly understood.” Danica McKellar was etched into America’s psyche with her memorable role as Winnie Cooper on The Wonder Years 1988–’93. Unlike other child stars who seque…

By Abigail Sanchez-Aguilar – The cities that allow Islamic calls to prayer to be broadcast – New York City, Minneapolis and others – are enabling Muslim projection of power, says an ex-Muslim. “We have alarms now. We don’t need it,” says Danny Burmawi, who converted to Christianity in Jordan and now lives in the United States. “But political Islam needs it. “When you broadcast the call to prayer so that Muslims and non-Muslims will be disturbed by it, that has nothing to do with religion,” he adds. “That is a political signal. that is um a declaration that we exist…

Leagues don’t want players showing off their muscles — or if they have some sort of undershirt on, a message. So when Arsenal’s Gabriel Jesus pulled off his jersey to reveal an “I belong to Jesus” T-shirt on underneath on Dec. 30 last year, he had a pay the price. Gabriel might have considered it worthwhile. In front of roaring fans against Aston Villa F.C. in the Emirates Stadium, the striker nailed Arsenal’s fourth and final goal…

By Abigail Sanchez-Aguilar — Nowadays, the word “Zionist” is a bad word akin to “Nazi” or “racist.” But worship leader Carine Bassili has no qualms about lavishing her praise music with it. “The word Zion is written over 152 times (in the Bible), and in Psalm 132, Zion refers to Jerusalem as the place God chose for his presence,” she says. The kicker? Carine was born in Lebanon, a place being pounded by Israel’s IDF right now. Hezbollah is using its base in Lebanon to launch attacks against Israel. Lebanon historically has opposed the Jewish state. The term “Zionist” means…

Either way, Winston was given less than a year to live in 2018. “There’s no possible way he has bone cancer,” Tim thought. “He’s four years old. Bone cancer is for older dogs.” The vet vacated the room so that Tim could call his wife, Karan, and break the news to her. When the vet returned, Tim said he would exercise neither option. There was another option: prayer, he said. “She kind of said, well,…

Dr. Sharon Dirckx grilled Christians. “At my very first week at Bristol University, they hosted an event called ‘Grill a Christian,'” she says. “Basically it was four Christians sitting on chairs in a row in room full of people who could ask whatever they wanted. “Half way through the evening, I put up my hand and asked, ‘Surely you can’t believe in God and be a scientist at the same time,'” she remembers. The reply slashed her assumptions: “Saying that science is in conflict with belief in God is a bit like…

By Abigail Sanchez-Aguilar The Chosen set the Guinness Book of World Records for the most translated series of all time. It is translated into 126 languages. The record broke its own record of 86 languages. Just as The Jesus Film was widely translated and dispersed and brought untold millions to Christ, it is hoped that The Chosen will reap a new harvest of souls. “I’m betting the chosen breaks the record again next year,” says CBN reporter Billy Hallowell. “There are thousands of languages, over 7,000. This show is opening the door to people opening their Bible.” The Chosen is…

By Abigail Aguilar — Michael B. Jordan thanked God upon winning his first Oscar Sunday night, but social media channels speculate that he says he’s Babalawo, based on African voodoo religion, as he appears to say in an interview short about his middle name. “I’m a Babalawo,” he seems to says. “And my mom when I was born (gave me the middle name Bakari). I got that name fresh out the womb.” He speaks fast and it’s hard to be certain if he is actually saying “Babalawo” or even “I’m,” which might be “um.” There are no other interviews confirming…

By Abigail Aguilar – At the time, sustaining a polyamorous marriage seemed like the thing to do to Brianna Dysett. “I was selfish. I was blind,” she assesses now. “It definitely pushed us apart because we were invested in other people.” Ultimately, the open marriage brought the death of her marriage. Today Brianna (though she goes mostly by Anna) is a Christian who would never cheat again – openly or secretly. Anna’s dad was an alcoholic. She suffered sleep paralysis as a child. “They would hold me down,” she says. “There was a lot of trauma and abuse in sleep…

By Abigail Aguilar — Breaking ranks with the the silent celebrities who only defend Palestinians, Dua Lipa has spoken up for the Iranian people. “In Iran, we are seeing slaughter at a scale like never before,” the British-Albanian pop singer posted on Instagram under the title “Keep your eyes on on Iran.” Previously, she spoke up for Gazans, accusing Israel of genocide, like so many other left-leaning celebs. But now the majority of those celebs who pride themselves for speaking for human rights are now silent while the oppressive Iranian regime have slaughtered tens of thousands of its own citizens…
