This year, our nation experienced the mobilization of the lowest economic class against the establishment controlled by the elites for the second time. It’s not a Marxist revolution or a fascist coup; it’s a significant portion of American voters uprising to overthrow the established order. This bare majority may not endure, but a visible eruption has abandoned the liberal normality of prioritizing rational and humane behavior. But it is not a foreign-inspired movement. It is a domestic insurrection born from our political culture dating back to the 1800s.

Our September 2024 story The Hymn in Her Heart featured Reverend Anne Saunders, who was called to be a minister in the early 1980s. Her journey as a teacher, a wife, a mother, a caretaker to her parents, and as a minister is one of profound faith. During these tumultuous times, comfort can be found by praying. Not all of us know how to pray. To learn how to pray or to learn to become better at praying, we sought wisdom from Reverend Anne Saunders.

Brody Hale cannot see, but he relates to the world in ways that many of us could only imagine. Blind since birth due to Leber’s Congenital Amaurosis (LCA), Brody Hale practices law: estate planning, social entrepreneurship, and real estate, along with handling other small client matters. These practice areas are common for a solo practitioner living in a small town, but Brody Hale is no small town lawyer. He is known throughout the United States as an expert in canon law. He works to save Catholic Churches that have been threatened with closure.
