Human Dignity and Justice Reform

A version of this story originally appeared on the BreakPoint website, and is reproduced here with permission.

In 2014, in an all-too-rare case of bipartisan cooperation, Congress created the Charles Colson Task Force on Federal Corrections to tackle what many have called a crisis in the federal prison system.

Should We Keep Our Faith to Ourselves?

A version of the following post originally aired as a BreakPoint commentary on April 8.

Frank Capra’s classic Christmas movie “It’s a Wonderful Life” showed a despairing George Bailey, played by Jimmy Stewart, learning how the world would be without him.

Darryl Strawberry Finds a Savior

The following story originally aired as a BreakPoint commentary on August 7.

In 1980, the New York Mets selected an 18-year-old baseball phenom, Darryl Strawberry, with the first pick in the Major League draft.

“A worn-out baseball” by Schyler at English Wikipedia

Being a Mets fan in the 1970’s was tough—just ask my BreakPoint colleagues Eric Metaxas and Roberto Rivera.
