From copy editor Elise Brandon: Copy editing is a relatively painless job, but not when fact-checking is involved. Over the past year, I have cried over many of the links I’ve clicked: investigations of sexual abuse, police reports after a school shooting, video clips of violent deportations, news stories about an assassination. |
|
I ask questions like "What type of gun was used for this shooting?" and "Was the ICE agent who cursed at her the same one who killed her?" |
|
The devil is in the details. Sometimes I turn off the sound on my computer so I don’t have to hear the screams. Sometimes I can’t look away. |
|
Often, during an emotionally heavy edit, I take a few minutes away from the screen to cry and pray for the people whose lives have been upended. These moments of prayer remind me that despite this deep darkness, Christ, our light, still shines. And the darkness has not overcome him. |

When Jesus taught, he used parables. The kingdom of God is like yeast, a net, a pearl. Then and today, to grasp wisdom and spiritual insight, we need the concrete. We need stories. In this issue of Christianity Today, we focus on testimony—the stories we tell, hear, and proclaim about God’s redemptive work in the world. Testimony is a personal application of the Good News. You’ll read Marvin Olasky’s testimony from Communism to Christ, Jen Wilkin’s call to biblical literacy, and a profile on the friendship between theologian Miroslav Volf and poet Christian Wiman. In an essay on pickleball, David Zahl reminds us that play is also a testament to God’s grace. As you read, we hope you’ll apply the truths of the gospel in your own life, church, and neighborhood. May your life be a testimony to the reality of God’s kingdom. |
