As we celebrate 250 years of the American experiment, what truths does our country still hold?

In our July issue, @mbjackson77 reports on the debates over teaching history and how what children learn influences the way they view America.

You've likely heard the recent controversy and swirling rumors around St. Andrew's Chapel, Ligonier, and Reformation Bible College. But what actually happened? My latest with the talented @mbjackson77: 👇https://t.co/HMHUGgChiC

[Steve Nichols @DrSteveNichols]

Any season of transition can be difficult. The narratives and communications circulating about us on social media over the past few days have made this season even more difficult for us and our family.

We want to express our deep gratitude for the twelve years we spent at Reformation Bible College and Ligonier Ministries. We are thankful for that time and for the people we had the privilege to serve. We also appreciate that both RBC and Ligonier have conducted themselves in an amicable, gracious, and honorable manner during this season of transition, and we have sought to do the same.

Since others have shared their version of events, we believe it is appropriate to share ours.

In January 2024, we learned from the counselor of our daughter, Grace, that he had submitted a report to the Florida Department of Children and Families of suspicion of sexual abuse of Grace by Stephen Adams. On January 10, 2025, we reported suspicion of sexual abuse of our daughter by Stephen Adams to Saint Andrew’s Chapel. Over subsequent meetings, we realized that we were at an impasse with our church and that we had different perspectives on how to handle this situation. On April 21, 2025, we notified a pastor at Saint Andrew’s that we would begin the process of finding a new church. We notified him again on July 20, 2025, that it would be our last Sunday (and it was). We each received separate indictments two days later, July 22, 2025. We were accused of slander, unresolved anger, collusion to deceive, failure to follow session directives, and breach of membership vows. There was never a trial, and our case was never adjudicated.

After Saint Andrew’s Chapel voted to disassociate from the PCA on December 14, 2025, we immediately resigned our memberships. On Sunday evening, December 14, we joined New Hope PCA in Eustis, Florida, by testimony. On January 27, 2026, Saint Andrew’s found us guilty of contumacy, which is the failure to submit to the authority of the church and refusal to appear before the church. Afterwards on February 25, 2026, at their request, we met with a committee of the session to answer any questions and hopefully bring some resolution to our differences. On March 10, 2026, Saint Andrew’s excommunicated us, not on the underlying indictments, but for contumacy.

We remain members in good standing at New Hope and are grateful for the love, care, and support of our pastors and our church during this season.

We reported suspicion of sexual abuse of our daughter, we ended up indicted, and we ended up excommunicated.

We are deeply saddened by all that has taken place and grieved for everyone involved. Our prayer and hope is that the central issue will not be lost. At the heart of this issue is the suspected sexual abuse of our daughter.

—Stephen and Heidi Nichols

In recent years, people with nonspeaking autism have been learning to spell out their thoughts using Spelling to Communicate. But critics wonder if the words produced are truly those of the nonspeaking individual.

At a leading pro-life embryo donation center, families are discovering the law still treats tiny lives as property.

In our February cover story, @leahsavas and @mbjackson77 show how weak protections for embryos reveal the need for better regulation.

Pastors are warning about a rise in anti-Semitism among young Christian men, influenced by conspiracy theories that cast Jews as villains and recast hatred as theology.

@mbjackson77 explores how anti-Semitism has infiltrated the hearts of Christian men:

Holocaust denial, 4chan, Christian nationalism, Will Spencer, Stone Choir, Seth Dillon, Doug Wilson, Joel Webbon, Hitler Hated Christ... it's all here.

Good write-up of the rise in anti-Semitism within Reformed evangelicalism.

Painful read two years after I reported on this issue for @WNGdotorg (see link in comments). More girls. More trafficking. The younger the girl, the more customers pay. Let's not forget @Scott_Wiener and @GavinNewsom are responsible.

Christians are renewing their interest in the spiritual realm ... and also Bigfoot, but should they? @mbjackson77 asks.
