Today’s Briefing

Surgeon general nominee Casey Means and the MAHA movement have identified real problems in America’s health care system. But they’re not offering solutions, writes Matthew Loftus.

Bonnie Kristian argues Trump’s war on Iran repeats the foreign policy errors of previous administrations.

Attempting to comfort Christians by explaining why God allowed their suffering can make them feel worse.

Behind the Story

From editorial director of features Ashley Hales: Most of the time, an editor’s inbox is full of pitches. While we all will take an interesting pitch from a new writer, most editors enjoy working with repeat writers. So when theologian and professor Kelly M. Kapic pitched me, I was looking forward to what he’d propose.

This time, Kelly proposed a cowritten article with two other professors: Liz Hall (psychology) and Jason McMartin (theology). Since they had cowritten a book, When the Journey Hurts, I figured they could handle making sure the writing sounded like a singular voice for their CT article. What made a cowritten article work was their responsiveness. When asked for edits, Liz would step in first. Kelly would also weigh in, and Jason might provide more details.

What resulted is a thoughtful article, which CT published today. The piece might help you walk alongside someone who’s suffering, in a compassionate and theologically robust way. It wasn’t just the subject matter—but also how they worked together—that made the difference.
