I just finished an interview with Brad from Across Nigeria… and honestly, I’m sitting here stunned.
Today, he buried 14 Christians in a mass grave.
Two were infants.
One was a 4-year-old child.
And this isn’t some recycled internet story or political talking point. Brad was literally there today helping bury them. While on the way to investigate one attack, another Christian community was attacked. He said the violence is happening so fast they can barely keep up anymore.
What shocked me even more is this:
Brad shared that 72% of all Christians killed worldwide last year were killed in this region of Nigeria.
72%.
And hardly anybody is talking about it.
The mainstream media should be all over this. Instead, most people scrolling social media today have no idea our brothers and sisters in Christ are being slaughtered while churches are being forced underground.
Guys… this matters.
Please watch this interview.
Please pray for these families.
And PLEASE share this everywhere you can.
At this point, WE are the media.
WE are how people find out.
WE are the distribution network.
If enough ordinary people start sharing the truth, eventually the world will have to pay attention.
Watch the full conversation and help us get this story out.
The fastest woman alive flew to rural Australia to chase down amateurs on a grass field for $27,500.
The Stawell Gift is a 148-year-old handicap sprint held every Easter in a town of 6,000 people in western Victoria. 120 meters. On grass. Uphill. Lanes separated by rope, not paint. The twist: slower runners get up to a 10-meter head start. The world champion starts at zero.
Richardson gave away 10 meters to her closest competitor. Some runners started 25 meters ahead. She had to close that gap over 120 meters of grass while running uphill. She won her heat in 13.8 seconds.
In 144 years of the men's race, only two men have ever won from scratch. In the women's race (started 1989), only two women. The handicap system is specifically designed so the fastest runner should lose.
The race started in 1878 at the end of the Australian gold rush. The distance, 120 meters, comes from the gap between two pubs in Sheffield, England, where professional sprinting began. Competitors historically trained by chasing kangaroos.
737 athletes entered this year. Prize money: $40,000 AUD. Last year they paid Australia's teenage sprint star Gout Gout $50,000 just to show up. He got eliminated in the semis. The handicap ate him alive.
Richardson said it felt like being a kid again, playing tag. The woman who runs 10.65 described the hardest race on her 2026 calendar as "playing rabbit."
This Easter, I invite you to look at Jesus, consider what he said and did, and ask for yourself what I believe is the most important question you will ever answer: Did he really leave behind an empty tomb? And if he did, what does that mean for you?

Every day at 7PM, taps is played over the loudspeakers at Dallas National Cemetery, just beyond the outfield wall at DBU
During every gameday at 7, they pause to honor the fallen troops buried just beyond the wall
One of the best traditions in sports
This man invited some of his closest friends over to his house for a Super Bowl party. He had a full spread of delicious food and endless supply of cocktails and drinks. However, he played a video of the 2014 Super Bowl instead of the current one to see if anyone noticed. Not one person said a word.
It goes to show when you are with the right people, the only thing that mattered to them is the social experience of close friends getting together for a good time, the game wasn’t the reason they got together, if you were with your close friends, would you have noticed, or do you think they knew but didn’t care?
That one time Larry Bird decided to play left-handed against the Blazers because, and this is an actual quote, “I’m saving my right hand for the Lakers.”
47 points, 14 rebounds, 11 assists.
Two nights later, the Celtics beat the Lakers at the Forum.
@junior_miller People say the darndest things about sports.
Watching the Elway documentary. My wife just asked if he's the reason that aikman wanted to wear 7.
At the very moment that Augustus is making decrees as the ruler of the known world, and Herod is seething in his palace, God enters stage right. Not on the clouds, asserting his power and dominance, not with all the strength and might he rightly has. But in humility. Doing so with a profound statement that he is turning all our preconceived notions completely upside down.
One of the most beautiful, yet often overlooked, components to this story is Mary’s reaction to the news of her Son. In church tradition we call her carol The Magnificat:
“My soul exalts the Lord, and my spirit has begun to rejoice in God my Savior, because he has looked upon the humble state of his servant.
For from now on all generations will call me blessed, because he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name; from generation to generation he is merciful to those who fear him.
He has demonstrated power with his arm; he has scattered those whose pride wells up from the sheer arrogance of their hearts.
He has brought down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted up those of lowly position; he has filled the hungry with good things, and has sent the rich away empty.
He has helped his servant Israel, remembering his mercy, as he promised to our ancestors, to Abraham and to his descendants forever.” (Luke 1:46-55)
Amidst all the interpretations of Christmas that we hear at this time of year from clergy, advertisers, politicians, and journalists, we might benefit from listening to the mother who sits at the centre of it all. According to Mary, Christmas is about God scattering the proud, bringing down unjust rulers, lifting up the humble. It’s about God turning things upside down— which ironically is the right way up to begin with.
And God accomplishes all of this not “from on high,” like the decree of Augustus, or the brutality of Herod; instead, God achieves his purposes from below in the lowliness of a manger. With shepherds, livestock, and foreign magi as the first witnesses.
Christmas is about God turning things upside down—which ironically is the right way up to begin with.
Every detail about the Christmas story (and the subsequent life of Jesus as well), states that God will reverse the mess and do so by first getting his own hands dirty. God conquers by humbling himself, he will heal by being wounded, he will save us by sacrificing himself. The manger is a throne, and works as a beacon of how God intends to turn everything upside down.
Grace triumphs over dominance, mercy over force, and Mary’s song will be the world’s song. Joy will pierce through the sorrow and sadness, fully and forever.
