Around the Web

What Draws Me Back: 3 Arguments for the Faith on the Days I Doubt. Trevin Wax ponders his own struggles with doubt and explores what comforts him. “It’s often said that the ministry of apologetics is beneficial not only for showing nonbelievers the reasonableness of the Christian faith but also for strengthening the faith of believers, helping us remain faithful when doubts arise and linger. I’ve found this to be the case.”

Some good advice here: Three Ways to Walk With Those Who Grieve. “There is a beautiful and godly desire to bring comfort, yet when facing the reality of walking with the grieving, we are also confronted with the limits of the comfort we can actually offer. This holy work often brings with it an acute awareness of how easy it is to say the wrong thing and unintentionally add more pain.”

Around the Warren

Monday brought us a new 2026 edition of the Story Warren gift guide for creative kids. “A few weeks back, I put out the help signal to your fellow parents, and they came through with a ton of suggestions. I’ve picked out the best of the best and linked to them below. I hope some of these serve your creative kids in exploring new ways to dream and do.”

On Wednesday we took a minute to explore what’s new in the store for Christmas 2026. “Really, we want to make this time of year a pleasant shopping experience for everyone! We know you could opt out of our little store in order to get things faster—we try to make it worth your while to spend your time with us.”

Something to do with your kids

As we’re looking to the holidays, it’s always great to have some fresh ornament craft ideas. Here’s a suggestion for “Magic Star” ornaments. These look simple and beautiful!

Something to watch

In case you haven’t been able to sample the audiobook yet, here’s a preview of The Lost Cause, read by Jake Phillips. We’re all delighted with Jake’s reading!
