“Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhumane.” — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. ?? The U.S. ranks 34th globally in life expectancy, despite spending more on healthcare than any other country. Cuts to Medicaid, the CDC, and the NIH will deepen health disparities, putting millions of vulnerable people at risk. In his latest article, Mark J. DeHaven, Ph.D. explores how poverty, stress, and social conditions shape health outcomes and why Christians must advocate for health justice. ??

“I hate, I despise your religious festivals… But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!” (Amos 5:21-24) Lent is a 40-day journey of reflection, renewal, and refocusing—but it’s about more than just personal growth. Throughout Scripture, fasting is deeply connected to justice. Isaiah 58 reminds us that God’s chosen fast isn’t just about self-denial, but about loosening the chains of injustice, feeding the hungry, and setting the oppressed free. As we enter this season, what if our fasting led us to action? * Give with purpose—redirect resources toward those in need. * Pray with awareness—allow fasting to heighten your compassion. * Advocate for justice—support policies that lift up the marginalized. Lent isn’t about what we give up as much as it’s about what we give away. Let’s embrace fasting that brings transformation—not just for ourselves, but for the world.

Some great resources for the US election. Including a guide from Center for Christian Civics, and a fantastic study by More in Common on common misconceptions of faith communities. https://lnkd.in/exypFcbu
