From editorial project coordinator Grant Dutro: When I first heard about CT’s Young Storytellers Fellowship, I immediately tucked away the application link into a note on my phone. Like many college seniors, I accumulated a list of opportunities as the terrifying precipice of graduation came close. This fellowship was at the very top, and it changed my life. |
|
In it, I met an incredible group of creatives around my age who not only loved the Lord but also wanted to glorify him with their talents. All of us clicked instantly, saying in our heads, "You too? I thought I was the only one," per C. S. Lewis. |
|
The fellowship also introduced me to the world of CT, and becoming a part of this organization has been a dream come true. I entered as a "Writer/Journalist," and today, my first piece for CT was published. |
|
I give thanks to God every day that I sent in my application. Please, don’t talk yourself out of it. |
|
Applications for the Young Storytellers Fellowship are open through June 25. We are seeking diverse evangelical storytellers of all stripes between the ages of 18 and 27. |

There are 1.5 million children with a parent in prison in the United States — and those children are more likely to face poverty, struggle with mental health issues, become homeless, and even face incarceration themselves one day. But a week away at a Christian summer camp can change their story forever. |
|
For a child with a mom or dad in prison, Prison Fellowship Angel Tree camp is a special place. They get a week away to experience new activities and adventures, make friends who understand how they feel, and encounter the love of God. Many kids are processing difficult emotions, and camp is filled with caring, trauma-informed staff to help them through the challenges they face. Your donation can change a child’s summer — and their life. Send a kid to camp today. |

Throughout Scripture, God calls his people to be faithful and steadfast as we abide in him. Isaiah reminds us our faithfulness is fleeting "like the flowers of the field," yet our hope is secure when we place it in God, so our strength is renewed (Isa. 40:6, 31). In this issue, we consider stories of resilience. Historian Thomas S. Kidd shares missionary Adoniram Judson’s hardship and fortitude in Burma (now Myanmar). Emily Belz reports on Minnesota churches today that are supporting persecuted Karen Christians, also from Myanmar. Haleluya Hadero reports on groups who are determined to help Gary, Indiana, achieve a more resilient future. We also consider Tish Harrison Warren’s new book and feature an interview with her. Rooted in the person of Jesus Christ, Christian resilience is about more than having grit or bouncing back. |
