Behind the Story

Today we are happy to have an article from a new member of the news team—we’ll let him introduce himself: 

My name is Jack Panyard, and I am starting as a senior news writer with CT. I launched my journalism career with a podcast team in Brooklyn, New York, covering high-profile stories like the beginnings of the Jeffrey Epstein case as well as the COVID-19 pandemic. I moved to York County, Pennsylvania (roughly two hours west of Philadelphia), to work in local newsrooms, covering crime, people in our community, and court hearings. 

It’s so exciting to be joining the CT team, working on meaningful news coverage with a Christocentric mindset. My wife and I still live in Pennsylvania with an 8-month-old daughter. Beyond reading and writing, my wife and I enjoy traveling, hosting our friends and family, running local trails, keeping up with Pennsylvania sports, and volunteering at our church.

May 15, 1265: Poet and politician Dante Alighieri, author of "The Divine Comedy," is born in Florence, Italy. Dante finished the epic poem just before his death, and it was quickly recognized as brilliant. His epitaph begins: "Dante the theologian, skilled in every branch of knowledge that philosophy may cherish in her illustrious bosom" (see issue 70: Dante's Guide to Heaven and Hell).

IN THE MAGAZINE

Cover of the May/June issue

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.
