Prison Testimony: Pray for Russell.

Last night after preaching, I talked to a tattooed-faced man named Russell. He will never get out of prison.

He has murdered so many people they locked him away in solitary for life, piling on more life sentences.

He said when he first heard me preach, he hated me and would yell and heckle. But now God is changing his heart.

Last night he thanked me for coming, talking, and praying with him. He took a Study Bible and said he would start reading it.

God is working in his life.

I will talk with Russell again over the next few weeks, and teach him more about Jesus. I know God will save Russell’s soul.

Will you pray for Russell’s salvation?

A traditional technique practiced by young shepherds of Ethiopia’s Banna tribe.

They walk on stilts to watch over their livestock in tall grass, navigate wetland areas, and stay safe from snakes and predators such as lions and leopards.

It demands strength, balance, and training starting from childhood.

To those who say "it's her choice" I used to say the same thing about my own Hijab.

I was covered head to toe. Even on the beach. Even with my male relatives. And when people challenged me, I said: this is my choice. You know why? Because the other option was burning in hell, hung by my hair for eternity. That's what they taught me since childhood.

Yes, let me repeat it for you to just understand about our version of “freedom of choice.” I grew up in an Islamist culture that gave me two options. Cover yourself and go to heaven. Or don't cover, and be hanged by your hair and burned in hell.

Like when someone puts a gun to your head and says "you can go left or right", technically, yes, that's a choice.

I picked heaven. I called it freedom. And I believed it, because that's what happens when fear is all you've ever known.

And if you think I shouldn't be telling you my story, I don't care. I really, genuinely, from the bottom of my heart, don't care. The women still living under that "choice"? I care about them.

At 3 years old, twin brothers Kirk and Kirklyn Johnson were diagnosed with nonverbal autism. Their parents were told they might never speak.

Shae and Stan Johnson refused to let that prediction define their sons. They filled their home with speech therapy, early intervention, faith, and music. Before long, melodies became more than entertainment. They became a way for the twins to communicate with the world.

As the years passed, music opened doors that once seemed impossible. Kirklyn discovered a passion for singing, while Kirk found his place through instruments and performance. Every lesson, every rehearsal, and every small milestone built toward something much bigger than anyone had imagined.

In 2026, Kirklyn graduated from Mississippi State University with a degree in Music Education. Standing before thousands of people at commencement, he sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" and the university's alma mater. It was a remarkable moment for a young man who had once been expected never to use his voice.

His brother Kirk continued thriving in Mississippi State's ACCESS program, developing independence, working on campus, participating in sports, hosting a radio show, and serving as minister of music at his father's church.

Today, the twins hope to help other children discover the same confidence that music gave them. The voices that some believed would never be heard are now encouraging others to keep believing in possibilities that cannot always be measured in a diagnosis.

I walked outside to get the mail today. When I came back in, my 89 year old mom, who has Alzheimer’s looked at me and asked, “Are you my son?”

I smiled and said “Yes. Are you my mother?”

She smiled, and said “That was the
name of your favorite book when you were really young.”

We used to read “Are You My Mother” back in the mid 1970s.

Alzheimer’s is full of surprises.

This little girl is not in the video. She wasn't even born. But she is moved to tears watching her mother and father get married. Why?

Marriage researcher and family therapist Pat Fagan once told me:

"When a child sees their mother loving their father they feel like their mother is loving them. When they see their father loving their mother they feel like their father is loving them. It is the only time in the human experience where you can be loved indirectly. No one's even looking at you or touching you or talking to you, but you feel loved."

That is not the case with a step parent, he said. The child may tolerate the romantic expression. But they do not experience that same circuitous love. More often they feel competition or jealousy.

If every child could order their own world, this is what they would say:

"I want my mom and dad to love me and I want my mom and dad to love each other."

Sometimes that's not possible. Woe to a culture that intentionally denies that to children in the name of adult freedom.
