From editorial director of news Kate Shellnutt: Years ago I met up with an old friend while she ran errands—I was in town one night, and it was the only time she could fit me in. She vented about how much of the “invisible load” she carried at home. Her husband covered the cost of a housekeeper, but here she was booking the cleanings and shopping for the supplies she needed. |

I hadn’t ever heard of that term, so when I saw an article on the phenomenon the very next week, I sent it to her. She texted back to say she wasn’t interested. It was enough to be living it, and it’d only make her angrier to read about it. |

When I read about the book What’s on Her Mind, I wondered how many overburdened women would want to parse out the data on overburdened women and, conversely, how many less-than-helpful husbands would take the initiative to pick up the book. |

Knowing the potential turnoffs, I appreciated Bonnie Kristian’s CT review, which builds out some possible takeaways for Christian academics, churches, and ministries that might not otherwise interact with the research—but are in a position to help. |

The Christian story shows us that grace often comes from where we least expect. In this issue, we look at the corners of God’s kingdom and chronicle in often-overlooked people, places, and things the possibility of God’s redemptive work. We introduce the Compassion Awards, which report on seven nonprofits doing good work in their communities. We look at the spirituality underneath gambling, the ways contemporary Christian music was instrumental in one historian’s conversion, and the steady witness of what may be Wendell Berry’s last novel. All these pieces remind us that there is no person or place too small for God’s gracious and cataclysmic reversal. |
