What would it look like to put into practice a Leviticus model of refusing to harvest to the edges of the field and to demonstrate Boaz hospitality to the marginalized in 21st century America?

In our latest Ink & Impact article, Joshua Steen looks at how both God’s command in Leviticus to leave the gleanings of harvest for the poor and Boaz’s model of hospitality in Ruth can be a model for Christians to faithfully respond to food insecurity today. Read more at https://bit.ly/4ypqpKR

In our current rehabilitation system, records often become lifelong “negative credentials” that significantly affect an individual’s chances of work. Licensing boards frequently rely on vague standards such as “good moral character” or “moral turpitude” to deny applicants access to work.

These ambiguous words turn occupational licensing, a fair process to protect citizens’ safety, into a form of ongoing punishment for citizens that have been previously incarcerated.

Climate change has become a politically polarized issue in the United States, and it is a topic many Americans feel strongly about.

In her Ink & Impact article, Aislynn Patrick points to a calling that Christians have to respond to the climate crisis with active, hopeful love. While creation care means caring for God’s world through everyday actions, Patrick points to one of the simplest and most important actions Christians can take: talking about it.

Women comprise a slight majority of the U.S. population, nearly half of the workforce, and have historically made up a majority of church congregations. Yet a predictable life transition universally experienced by women is routinely overlooked.

In the latest installment in our Ink & Impact series, Jordyn Rand demonstrates a public justice framework that calls on multiple institutions– government, businesses, and churches– to support menopause care for women.

As visa requirements have tightened over the past year, many international students in the United States are navigating a climate of uncertainty or suspicion.

In her Ink & Impact article, Meg Pheifer asks Christians an important question: If we believe that our earthly educational resources are given to us by God to help further God’s kingdom, why should we restrict access to them or be territorial about them, denying those who wish to grow in knowledge and wisdom?

In May 2025, the Texas Legislature passed Senate Bill 11, which allows for a voluntary period of prayer and religious study in public schools. The decision is part of a larger national movement aimed at increasing the influence of Christianity in public education.

While many Christians might be tempted to view any legislation that infuses Christianity into public education as a victory, legislation like this falls short of what faithful engagement in Christian public life requires. In her Ink & Impact article, Grace Simpson points to a transformative approach that Christians can use when thinking about the role of faith in public education.

Across the country, there is a discrepancy in access to quality legal aid. While some benefit from legal advocates who emerge from the top law universities in the world, others are unable to find quality representation, or worse, experience fraudulent representation.

In our latest Ink & Impact article, Anna Mares argues that churches can help illuminate the path toward justice through empowerment models such as Administer Justice's Gospel Justice Clinics.

In the U.S., 99% of animals eaten or used to produce milk and eggs are factory farmed. While more than 70% of Americans oppose common factory farming practices, many hold back from advocacy work because they believe the only meaningful step available to them is altering their diet. But what if there was another way?

In our latest Ink & Impact article, Grant Dutro points out meaningful ways for consumers to honor God’s design for creation that go beyond changing diets.
