Lacking in powerhouse vocals which could easily snap listeners out of a contemplative mood, Highlands Worship’s new album “Prayers to the King” is a comforting choice for those overwhelming chaotic moments in life. Whether you are stuck in traffic, starting your morning, or drifting off to sleep, the tracks were written to offer both an escape from chaos and a path to prayer. As effective as “Prayers to the King” is as a standalone work, its existence began with a greater purpose. Along with the album, the home church for Highlands Worship, Church of the Highlands, developed an app for…
Severe weather will continue to pound Gulf states into midweek. Meanwhile, residents of Kentucky are still dealing with the devastation of powerful tornadoes that ripped their communities apart. CBN’s Operation Blessing is on the scene in London, Kentucky where the town’s mayor and local churches are working together to help bring healing to the community. Here’s what they all said about the disaster relief effort: “London is a small town with big ideals. This is family. You know, no matter where you go around in this city, people’s gonna treat you good,” said London Mayor Randall Weddle. Macie McDaniel, a…
Even though COVID-19 has slowed life down a bit over the last 18 months, today’s family is still humming along at warp speed. Constantly trying to set our children up for the highest level of success has left families feeling a bit weathered and worn. Even the traditional family meal has been reduced to throwing something in the microwave and spending less than five minutes together at the dining room table. Such a scrambled approach to life is working to our culture’s detriment rather than its benefit. In his latest book, Take Back Your Family: From the Tyrants of Burnout, Busyness, Individualism,…
GUT HEALTH Dr. Don Colbert maintains that people can take control of their health. As he likes to put it, “Your genetics may load the gun, but lifestyle pulls the trigger.” Our choices can change our genetics, he adds. Dr. Colbert is often asked why the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is so important. He says it’s because it’s considered the “second brain” due its complex neural network. “The gut-brain axis is a fascinating and intricate connection that highlights the two-way communication between the gut and the brain. Notably, the gut can send signals to the brain that influence mood, emotions, and even cognitive functions,” he says. …
Being a parent of school-aged children is no small task in the 21st Century. The reasons Christian parents opt to send their children to public school vary. Regardless of why you opt to send your child to a public school, it is important for you to be a vigilant, involved parent. Proverbs 22:6 (KJV) says, “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Your child’s formative years of moral development are happening concurrently with foundational educational years. Brick by brick and precept upon precept, we train them…

Like so many people, the last 18 months have been the best of times and the worst of times for singer/songwriter Jeremy Camp. While these COVID-fueled days have certainly provided critically valuable time spent with his family, it didn’t change the fact that he had to shut down a successful concert tour and experience the premature closing of a movie about his life called, I Still Believe. However, more time at home has also provided ample opportunity for Jeremy to reflect upon God’s goodness in all situations and to praise God even when it didn’t make sense. It is this…
In a small industrial park in downtown Manassas, Virginia, the future of defense is taking shape, quite literally. That’s where you can find RapidFlight, a young defense tech company, manufacturing autonomous drones for military applications. “What RapidFlight is doing is really disrupting the way drones are designed and deployed to meet the new type of solutions and customer requirements that are just emerging as we go,” RapidFlight CEO Esina Alic told CBN News. Fast, modular, and built on demand, their systems line up with the Trump administration’s call for a new era of technological innovation. “For a future stamped with…
In his first book, Israel Rising: Ancient Prophecy/Modern Lens, author Doug Hershey masterfully showed how God is restoring the land of Israel before our very eyes. In his latest work, Jerusalem Rising: The City of Peace Reawakens, Hershey, along with photographer Edden Ram, take a historical and prophetic look at a city that is at the epicenter of prophecy from Scripture. Hershey and Ram draw from historic photos dating back to 1844 juxtaposed against those taken in the 21st Century to illustrate the amazing transformation of Jerusalem over the past 175 years. I recently spoke with Hershey about why he draws…
Haley Erickson had long lived by the motto: “eat clean, train mean,” but it eventually took over her life. “I was mentally enslaved at that point,” she recalled. Haley had never been happy with her body, or her weight, something she picked up from her mom. “I saw my mom always dieting and talking about what her body looked like and needing to change her body. So as a young girl that really looked up to my mom, I thought that I needed to look a certain way to also be loved and accepted by others.” In high school, she started…
