In God’s providence, this article by Anna Russell appeared on The Gospel Coalition around the same time our ministry posted an article about Hannah Strege, who was the first embryo ever adopted. Anna’s article is remarkably consistent with what we shared, and is the perfect follow-up.

I enjoyed sharing about my childhood dogs (Ranger, Champ, and Spike) and my adulthood dogs (Champ II, Moses, Maggie, and Gracie) in my new book All God’s Creatures. My life without animals simply would not have been my life, and I know many other people who feel the same way. 

Our ministry received some remarkable messages from a woman who translated my book Happiness into Ukrainian in 2023 and just finished translating Heaven. She shared how the books have helped her and others in this season of war and suffering in Ukraine.

As my grandson Ty was preparing to marry his sweetheart Ava earlier this summer, one of the things we were discussing was how nothing is more important in marriage than humility.

In his conversation with Dennis Rainey, Randy discusses how faith shapes grief and hope. They share candid stories about loss, Heaven, and living with purpose. This episode explores practical ways to process heartbreak and find meaning in eternal promises.

Randy was a guest on the Love the Bible podcast with Kristin Nave where they dive into what the Bible says about animals, heaven, and the New Earth. Their conversation unpacks biblical misconceptions, explores overlooked scripture passages about animals, and considers whether our beloved pets might join us in eternity—all pointing back to the love and kindness of God.

I listened on audio to Jen Wilkin’s new book Dust to Dust: Aging Wisely in an Anti-Aging World. She does a wonderful job of connecting those decreasingly helpless at the beginning of life with those increasingly helpless at the end of life.

Last February, I recorded an interview with Sean McDowell about my book All God’s Creatures. The video was just released this week on Sean’s YouTube channel, and I’ve been greatly encouraged by the comments.

Senator Ben Sasse is dying of pancreatic cancer and sharing publicly about his journey. My friend Alex Harris wrote a wonderful article about Senator Sasse and the lessons we can learn from him about our current political climate.

When we get to Heaven, one writer claims, “We will not even remember this old world we call Earth, . . . nor will we even recall it! It simply will not come into our minds.” This misperception is widely believed, but the Bible says no such thing!

While suffering is not good, God can use it to accomplish immeasurable good. This knowledge should give us great confidence that even when we don’t see any redemptive meaning in our suffering, God can see it.

Randy Alcorn had a conversation with Jeff Chamblee of The Stand Radio about his booklet Grieving with Hope. They discussed grief, hope, and the excitement of eternity.

Randy was a guest chapel speaker at Open Door Christian Academy in Troutdale, Oregon, and answered students’ questions about Heaven. He talked about the New Earth, recognizing loved ones, the passing of time in Heaven, and more.

I’ve heard multiple people claim, “There are no pets in the Bible.” But that’s simply not true. In Job, the oldest book of the Bible—probably written in the days of Abraham—God asks, “Can you make a pet of Leviathan as you would a bird or put it on a leash for your girls?” (Job 41:5, NCV). This shows that birds—and no doubt other animals—were beloved pets that parents gave to their children.
