Behind the Story
Our esteemed Daily Briefing readers sent us their “behind the story” about where they read the newsletter, so you can have an idea of other readers who join you every day. We can’t share all the stories we received, but we’ll share some excerpts:
“Most days I read after online fitness (three days a week) or as I skim the mail at my desk, but always prior to breakfast.” —Ruth McMonagle, Campbell River, British Columbia
“Normally in my office in Alcobaça, Portugal. My business serves the ministry space, so the Daily Briefing is one of the resources I use to stay on top of what’s happening in Christendom. I read it in between work for various clients, or when I need a quick break from staring at a report or at data. I look for anything that keeps me abreast of important information (although I have to admit Today in Christian History doesn’t do that, but I read it anyway since I’m a history buff).” —Ron Sellers
“I read the Daily Briefing generally on my computer, where I work, play chess, check on sports. I generally read stories about the wars because I have appreciated how CT has shown how Christians on both sides (Ukraine/Russia, Israel/Gaza) are responding to what is happening. It is good to see more than one perspective. The other stories I always read are about immigrants right now in the US due to what the current administration is doing. I appreciate the individual stories, as it puts names to what is happening, not just statistics.” —Ken Steckert, Auburndale, Florida

IN THE MAGAZINE

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. We talk with Fleming Rutledge about the Crucifixion, knowing that while suffering lasts for a season, Jesus has triumphed over death through his death. This Lenten and Easter season, may these words be a companion as you consider how you might bring life in the spaces you inhabit.
