Can there be peace on earth? War in the Christmas season

To be called to do something is a phrase that people often use to describe finding a life purpose. In the church, it can be imbued with an almost mystical sense, especially when we talk about a call to paid, full time ministry. We talk with Pastor Jesse Herford about the biblical background to some of our concepts around the call and also get some insight into his own experience. We also reflect on a recent article in Adventist Record about someone who feels like they missed their calling. Check it out here: https://record.adventistchurch.com/20...

Haystacks are an Adventist staple, salad over corn chips with your favourite salsa, guac etc. But could you eat them every day for seven months?

Adventism has some unique contributions to make to the conversation around race and the church. We speak to Nathan Brown and Maury Jackson, two of the contributors and the editors of A House On Fire, a compilation of essays on the topic. It is important to recognise how the mission of the church must be actualised, how the church will not be racist in the end times and how people can get informed and involved on these important issues.
