  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.

  Imperial Germany’s Invasions of...

  Prussian leaders, especially Otto von Bismarck, the chancellor and advisor to Prussia’s king, believed Prussia could be a united and respected power, but only without the traditional Austrian dominance. At the time, the Austrian empire was a collection of ethnically diverse peoples and had been dominated by a socio-political conservatism that sought to keep the empire ruled in Hapsburg tradition.  
  After Prussia was victorious in the Austro-Prussian War, Bismarck played a waiting game where the unification of Germany was concerned, as the joining of the southern states - initially resistant to Prussian rule, friendly with Austria, and bent on independence - would have to be overcome. What was needed was “a clear case of French aggression” toward either Prussia or the southern states. Not only would such a move by Emperor Napoleon III trigger the terms of the treaty between the German states, but it would keep the remaining world powers out of the conflict. It would be a dispute over the throne of Spain that would cause Napoleon III to act. 
  	If trench warfare was an inevitability during the war, it is only because the events leading up to the First Battle of the Marne were quite different. The armies at the beginning of the war moved quickly through the land, but the First Battle of the Marne devolved into a bloody pitched battle that led to the construction of trenches after the Germans retreated, blocked in their pursuit of Paris. When the aftermath disintegrated into a war between trenches, some Germans thought they had the upper hand since they were occupying French territory, but with fewer soldiers than the combined Allied nations and fewer resources and supplies, it was possibly only a matter of time before they were ultimately defeated. The commander of the German armies, General Helmuth von Moltke, allegedly said to Kaiser Wilhelm II immediately after the First Battle of the Marne, "Your Majesty, we have lost the war."

  The Power of Social Networks -...

  Human connections are at the core of society, influencing the way people think, behave, and interact. Social networks, both physical and digital, shape individual experiences and collective structures, determining everything from personal relationships to global movements. Understanding the science behind these connections provides insight into why people form relationships, how they maintain them, and the effects these relationships have on their lives. 
  The study of social networks is grounded in sociology, psychology, and network science. It examines how individuals are linked to one another through different types of relationships, ranging from close family bonds to distant acquaintances. Each person exists within a web of connections that influences their opportunities, behaviors, and even emotions. These networks function based on two primary types of ties: strong ties and weak ties. Strong ties refer to close relationships, such as family and close friends, that provide emotional support and trust. Weak ties, on the other hand, consist of acquaintances and distant connections that play a crucial role in spreading new ideas, job opportunities, and information. 
  One of the key concepts in the science of human connections is social capital, which refers to the value embedded in relationships. Social capital can provide tangible benefits, such as career advancement, and intangible advantages, such as emotional well-being and a sense of belonging.
