    The Akkadian Empire is one of the oldest civilizations we know of. Dating back to a few thousand years B.C., it presents itself with some archaeological finds, as well as long-forgotten mysteries and unanswered questions that will probably remain that way. 
    However, despite of the many secrets this advanced, vast empire holds, it could definitely be worth our time to explore some of the things we do know. We can learn about their language, their government, and, as far as we have sources, about their economy, art, culture, and religion. If a study of that nature sounds like it’s a good match for your own curious nature, then I invite you to pay attention to and get this brief guide on the Akkadian Empire.

    What is Critical Race Theory? 
     
     
     
    It may be one of the most widely referenced issues of the day, but it's also one of the least understood. In its translation from the academic world to the general public, Critical Race Theory (CRT) has inaccurately become a catch-all term for anything related to race. But what does it actually mean, and how should Christians engage it? 
     
     
     
    Ed Uszynski—whose PhD in American culture studies navigated readings in Marxism, Critical Theory, and Critical Race Theory—carefully unpacks what critical race theorists seek to accomplish and what Christians can learn from them. Uszynski generously explores CRT's roots, context, and central tenets, revealing how its insights are used and distorted but also how they might benefit the church. With responsible answers to legitimate concerns, Uszynski goes beyond the surface to provide a reliable path of just discernment and cultural engagement.

    When the Nazi invasion of Ukraine begins, Abram and his family are forced to flee their home and embark on a treacherous journey of survival. Despite the unimaginable horrors he faces, Abram remains steadfast in his determination to protect his loved ones and overcome the atrocities of war. 
    Through his resourcefulness and courage, Abram is able to outsmart the Nazis and ensure the survival of his family. Molodetsky's writing is both raw and compassionate, evoking a sense of empathy and understanding for the unimaginable suffering endured by those who lived through the Holocaust. 
    "The Price of Life" serves as a powerful reminder of the devastating impact of war and genocide on individuals and communities alike. Abram's story is a testament to the resilience and indomitable spirit of the human will, even in the face of the darkest and most unimaginable of circumstances.
