Summary

After another attempted assassination, we’re taking a hard look at the power of words, rising political violence, and why free speech doesn’t remove accountability.

Then your questions: navigating homeschool pressure, breaking free from constant noise to hear from God, building confidence in your faith, and pushing through burnout. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is be still and wait on the Lord—especially in the middle of it all.
