This month’s issue is filled with bold, thought-provoking, and faith-strengthening content to help you stand firm in truth and grow in your walk with God. Our cover story features a powerful and deeply personal interview with David Scott, known as The Kiffness – a man who places his identity firmly in Christ above all else. In a world driven by fame, influence, and public opinion, he speaks candidly about choosing obedience over popularity, standing for truth despite personal cost, and keeping his focus on what matters most: his relationship with Jesus and his role as a husband and father.

Inside this issue, you’ll find rich Biblical teaching that deepens your understanding of key truths, including the power and significance of Christ’s ascension, lessons from the Azusa Street Revival, and how to overcome fear with truth. We also tackle real and sometimes challenging topics facing believers today, from questions around UFOs and faith, to standing for truth in the Middle East conversation, and what it means to live with courage and conviction in a shifting world.

Be encouraged by heartfelt features on motherhood and the importance of raising the next generation with a strong work ethic. This issue is filled with powerful testimonies and mission stories – from lives touched in the midst of suffering to reflections on eternity and the hope we have in Christ. Every page is designed to equip, encourage, and point you back to God’s Word.
