Yesterday was my birthday. For real. (Please do not use that information to steal my identity or something nefarious like that.) I announce this because I love birthdays. I stay up until midnight for my birthday each year just so I can see when I get a year older. I’m a bit of a birthday weirdo like that. But enough about me and my awesome birthday! I want to write about a real birthday wonder that affects you if you... Read more
"God tames us, drawing us into an embrace that asserts at once our uniqueness and our place in a grand cosmic scheme." Read more
Good OK-Drama is a very occasional series looking at various examples of Korean drama (the almost-popular, not-quite-underground wave of television excitement oozing out of your favourite digital video outlets).

If we are truly concerned with the persistence of sexual harassment in society, we must not make the mistake of blowing it off when anyone, be they male or female, is guilty of committing it. Read more
How should Christians respond to attacks on pre-game prayers by groups like the Freedom from Religion Foundation? Drew Dixon argues that if we pause to consider the matter biblically, we might side with the atheists. Read more
Our editor-in-chief here at Christ and Pop Culture, Richard Clark, has written an interesting article for Nightmare Mode on how games feed our natural self-centeredness and present us with player-centric worlds: Because of how deceptively attractive a world created for our personal pleasure can be, when we stumble upon one that works for us, we are markedly protective of them. They begin to take a holistic role in our lives, living in our thoughts as we work and interact with others. The... Read more
