Carlos Whittaker: Stop Cutting Off Everyone You Disagree With - RELEVANT (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Carlos Whittaker’s closest friendship almost didn’t survive 2020. The two men were tight enough that the friend stood up at Whittaker’s wedding. Then came the election, COVID-19 and a summer of arguments about racism in America. They kept landing on opposite sides, and the friendship went quiet. What brought it back wasn’t a conversation. It was soccer. When Nashville got a Major League Soccer team, Whittaker and his friend bought season tickets next to each other. “Every Saturday, he and I show
Science: Loving Your Neighbor Is Literally Good for Your Brain - RELEVANT (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We’ve all felt that warm glow after holding the door for a stranger, dropping a meal off for a grieving neighbor, or slipping a few extra dollars into a tip jar. A new study published in the Journal of Positive Psychology confirms that feeling is real — and goes a lot deeper than most of us realize.

Are You Actually Rested, or Just Numb? - RELEVANT (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s Sunday night — last night of the trip — and you’re already checking Slack. The getaway vacation was good, from the food to the beach to the slow mornings.

The research didn’t make many waves. The way most Christians approach mental health care hasn’t changed much either. The default is still two separate tracks — church on Sunday, the therapist on Wednesday, and the two rarely intersecting. It feels clean, even respectful. Therapy is cl
Deconstruction Has a Grief Problem Nobody Is Talking About - RELEVANT (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Deconstruction has two public faces. One is triumphant — the Instagram post, the podcast episode, the memoir deal. The other is silent — a person who stops showing up to church and never quite explains why. What neither face shows is grief. And for most people going through it, grief is most of what it is. Deconstruction — the process of critically examining and often dismantling one’s inherited religious beliefs — has become one of the defining cultural conversations of the past decade. It has
