Welcome to The Light, your quiet-hour reflection.
In Ohio, a story about faith, family, and accountability continues to unfold. Kourtney Jones, stepdaughter of the pastor who drew national attention for his polygamous marriage, has spoken openly about an earlier arrangement within that household, and about how the church has wrestled with questions of scripture, structure, and trust.
From the intersection of faith and foreign policy, a public dispute has emerged between Ambassador Mike Huckabee and commentator Tucker Carlson over a recorded attack by Israeli settlers on an American citizen. Huckabee issued a detailed statement calling Carlson's framing deranged, revealing how even shared communities of belief can fracture over what justice requires us to see clearly.
And in a gentler corner of the week's news, actress Hope Klessig reflects on what it meant to embody Rahab in Sight and Sound's live production of Joshua. She speaks of mercy as something you do not merely perform but gradually come to understand from the inside, one rehearsal at a time.
That's this hour's reflection. Carry the light gently.
