From the creators: "The After Party is a free six-part video course designed to provide an on-the-ground, biblically based approach to navigating today’s challenging political environment. It’s no secret that the church has been challenged by extreme polarization, entrenched tribal affiliations, and the broken relationships that often result. Our course, born of a deep friendship among Russell Moore, David French, and Curtis Chang, is both inspiring and practical and will help you reorient your heart and mind towards a Christ-centered political identity for 2024 and beyond. Through interactive videos that encourage participants to inventory their own political identities, consider the “how vs. the “what” of politics, and explore what the Bible has to say about it all, you’ll be equipped to navigate these challenging topics in your own life."

Charley Chipmunk and the Chipmunk Race

Our very own BCC member, Matt Lincoln, wrote a children's book that was to encourage kids with physical challenges to pursue their dreams while also recognizing selfless able-bodied friends who help them achieve success. 

Recently, NASCAR driver Erik Jones, who has a children's literacy program (#readwitherik), read the book on Facebook!
