Before Hillsong’s scandals dominated headlines, worship leader Mackenzie Morgan had already sounded the alarm. In 2021, she went viral after warning churches about what she called “false teachings” and “heretical lyrics” in music from Hillsong, Elevation, and Bethel. “I can no longer stay silent,” she wrote, urging Christians to stop choosing worship songs simply because they are popular, emotional, or familiar.

Morgan’s concern was bigger than one song or one band. She argued that worship is theological, not neutral, and that churches should ask where the lyrics come from, what they teach about God, and whether licensing royalties are financially supporting ministries she believes are spreading a false gospel. Her challenge was direct: “Maybe it’s time we start looking at the Scriptures to see what God truly calls for in worship.”

Years later, Hillsong has faced leadership scandals, church closures, documentaries, and allegations of spiritual and financial abuse, while Morgan continues calling Christians back to discernment through her “Godly Whistleblower” podcast. Her message remains simple but uncomfortable: worship should not be measured by popularity, emotion, or stage production, but by Scripture.

I just want to thank my Christ Lutheran Church in Coos Bay, OR for all your 'prayers and $$$ support' during my esophogus cancer treatment. Just ahead is an operation but I'm not planning on that as much as I'm looking for a miracle. God is the great physician and I've seen many miracles. I'm Trusting God for one so he is glorified!

Lord, thank You for Your patience and wisdom. Like Job, I sometimes don’t understand what You are doing. The pain feels too heavy, the questions too loud. Give me the courage to be honest with You and the faith to trust You even when I cannot see the outcome. Remind me that You are sovereign, wise, and good—even in the storm. Restore what has been broken, and use my trials to draw me closer to You. I choose hope in You today. In the name of Jesus I pray, Amen.

More than 20 years after The Passion of the Christ became one of the most talked-about faith-based films in history, Mel Gibson is now preparing what many are calling his most ambitious project yet: The Resurrection.

The upcoming film is expected to focus on the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the events that followed, a story that millions of Christians consider the foundation of their faith.

For years, audiences have wondered whether a sequel to The Passion of the Christ would ever happen. Now, anticipation continues to grow as reports suggest the project could become one of the biggest faith-centered films ever produced.

Supporters say the story matters because the resurrection is not just another biblical event to them. It represents hope, redemption, victory over death, and the central message of Christianity.

Faith-based films have often struggled to gain mainstream attention in Hollywood, yet movies centered around Jesus and the Bible continue drawing massive audiences worldwide. Many believe that interest in spiritual content is growing again as people search for meaning, purpose, and hope in uncertain times.

Whether someone is religious or not, projects like this continue sparking global conversations about faith, history, and the lasting influence of Jesus Christ across cultures and generations.
