It seems as though each year the importance of election season grows, with 2026 being no exception. With the ever-growing political tension and scrutiny between parties, the responsibility to build bridges falls on us — those with the power to vote.

There is a common misconception about Christians. How we would never consider suicide or go through dark times because we have faith and we are supposed to always be grateful for the life God gave us. But that is a lie given by the enemy and a way of making Christians feel all alone.
