From senior features editor Kara Bettis Carvalho: When editor in chief Marvin Olasky asked a few staff editors and writers to find local stories about the "birth and death" of Christian businesses, I immediately reached out to my uncle. As a retired Christian business owner in New England, he is involved with C12, a national group of Christian CEOs, business owners, and executives who meet monthly "to create eternal impact far beyond the bottom line." |
|
He connected me with Dean Harrington, who graciously shared the story of selling his business and closing that chapter of his life while enduring personal suffering. As I write in my profile of Harrington, "Everyone loves a successful business story arc. … What happens when the business succeeds but the happily ever after looks a little different?" |
|
For Harrington, he has trusted the Lord’s sovereignty in his company’s successes and in its trials. "You can be making a million dollars or making none," he told me. "Hold every situation and the future lightly." |

In this issue of Christianity Today and in this season of the Christian year, we explore the bookends of life: birth and death. You’ll read Karen Swallow Prior’s essay on childlessness and Kara Bettis Carvalho’s overview of reproductive technologies. Haleluya Hadero reports on artificially intelligent griefbots, and Kristy Etheridge discusses physician-assisted suicide. There is much work to be done to promote life.
