Welcome to The Light, your quiet hour for reflection.
Jonathan Roumie, who plays Jesus in The Chosen, wears skull rings almost every day as an act of memento mori, the ancient Christian practice of remembering death. He says the jewelry is not morbid but clarifying, a daily reminder that time is finite and presence matters.
From the realm of the living, a study from Nautilus asks why entrepreneurs and bosses tend to outlive their employees. Researchers point to autonomy, purpose, and a sense of control over one's own days as quiet medicines. The power to shape your work may quietly shape your health.
And in Ohio, a pastor at a Cleveland congregation has revealed to his church that he has been living with two wives for three years, calling monogamy unbiblical. The disclosure has drawn wide attention, raising questions about scriptural interpretation, institutional trust, and the boundaries of pastoral authority.
That is this hour's reflection. Carry the light gently.
