Welcome to The Light, where we pause together and let the day speak.
A family in Vermont has taken their state to court, challenging a law that bars public tuition assistance from reaching religious schools. At the heart of the case is a quiet but persistent question — whether the wall between church and state, drawn to protect freedom, can sometimes become a wall that restricts it.
From the courtroom to the concert hall, artist Forrest Frank is building what he calls a Jesus Generation, a movement that has now filled arenas and stadiums across the country. A new album and a theatrical film are on the horizon for two thousand twenty seven, suggesting that for a great many young people, spiritual longing has not gone quiet — it has simply found a new frequency.
And then there is this — researchers have found that men who draw more of their protein from plants tend to carry higher testosterone levels. It is a small finding, perhaps, but it loosens another assumption we held without examining, reminding us that the body, like the mind, rewards curiosity more than certainty.
That is this hour's reflection. Carry the light gently.
