From editorial director of news Kate Shellnutt: During my time as a Navy brat and Army wife, I constantly felt as if we were at the brink of war. If it’s your family member who gets called overseas, everything seems like it could be a sign of escalation. They’re running more test flights. They’re sending more ships to Kuwait. They’re calling up more National Guard troops. They’re putting up more security at the base.
When my husband was stationed at the border with North Korea, I worried that fighting was going to break out every time the news reported another test missile had fired. I understood that the US military was strong and stable, but military life felt so unpredictable. Circumstances change in a span of hours.
After the US attack on Iran, many Americans, not just those in military communities, are asking if this is the start of something big. I’ve already heard from friends worried about their spouses deployed to the Middle East, including the base in Qatar where Iran reported firing missiles. I pray for peace and stability for the sake of all—and comfort for those in military families who are left wondering what will be asked of them in this fight.

It's easy to live in a state of panic, anxiety, and fear, from the pinging of our phones to politics and the state of the church. In this issue, we acknowledge panic and point to Christian ways through it. Russell Moore brings us to the place of panic in Caesarea Philippi with Jesus and Peter. Laura M. Fabrycky writes about American inclinations toward hero-making. Mindy Belz reports on the restorative work of Dr. Denis Mukwege for rape victims in Congo. We’re also thrilled to give you a first look at the Global Flourishing Study, a multiyear research project about what makes a flourishing life across the globe. While panic may be profitable or natural, we have a sure and steady anchor for our souls in Jesus.
