Welcome to The Light, your quiet hour of reflection.
Marty Makary has stepped down as commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, his tenure marked by friction on two fronts β pressure from e-cigarette regulators and criticism from pro-life groups who felt he moved too slowly on a safety review of the abortion pill. His departure leaves questions about the agency's direction.
From there, the broader currents of governance β President Trump concluded a visit to China this past week, while his administration announced new efforts supporting mothers and families, pushed forward on a national monument honoring influential American figures, and continued its drive to address what officials describe as widespread fraud within Medicaid and Medicare.
And in quieter, more personal news β worship artist Cory Asbury has spoken openly about five years spent deliberately away from his faith, saying a direct and honest confrontation from fellow musician Forrest Frank became the turning point that drew him back. He credits that rebuke, offered in love, with changing everything.
That's this hour's reflection.
