Dallas megachurch gets $7M boost after fire

A massive fire nearly destroyed the historic sanctuary at First Baptist Dallas this summer, but now the community is rallying in a big way. Hobby Lobby’s CEO, David Green, just pledged $7 million to help rebuild the iconic church, which has been a Dallas landmark since 1890. With insurance and other donations, the church is closing in on its $127 million goal to restore the space—making it even bigger and brighter than before. This isn’t just about bricks and mortar; it’s about preserving a piece of Dallas history. What do you think about big businesses stepping in to help local institutions? #Religion #Dallas #CommunitySupport

Denver nun brings hope on three wheels

A Buddhist nun on an electric tricycle is quietly changing lives across Denver’s streets. Kelsang Virya, 70, pedals through encampments, handing out food, water, warm gear, and Narcan, all while reciting mantras for compassion. Their group, Mutual Aid Monday, now feeds over 400 unhoused neighbors each week and offers a safe space for people to speak up at City Hall. Virya’s story isn’t just about charity—it’s about building trust, dignity, and community in a city where homelessness is too often met with hostility. What do you think Denver can learn from Virya’s approach? #Religion #Denver #CommunityCare

Denver mosque opens doors to all

The Downtown Denver Islamic Center is breaking down barriers by inviting everyone—regardless of background—to visit and experience their mosque firsthand. Imam Mohammad Kolila says the goal is to show that mosques are welcoming spaces, not mysterious or exclusive. With rising anti-Islamic sentiment across the country, this open invitation is a step toward building understanding and trust in the community. The mosque emphasizes safety and accessibility for all, from kids to elders and those with disabilities. What do you think about places of worship taking such proactive steps to connect with their neighbors? #Religion #Denver #Community

Holy Cross land sale divides Boston’s Greek community

A huge piece of Holy Cross in Brookline—land bought through decades of donations and community sacrifice—may soon be sold off to an outside company. For some, this is a lifeline for the school’s finances and a chance to secure its future. For others, it feels like losing a sacred part of Greek-American heritage. With millions at stake and the school’s identity on the line, the community is torn: Is this a smart reset or an irreversible loss? What would you want to see happen with this land and the legacy it represents? #Religion #HolyCross #GreekAmerican

People Ditching Church, Not Their Faith

Latin America’s religious scene is getting a wild remix: More folks are saying “no thanks” to church or religious labels, but personal faith is still going strong. The latest research shows religious affiliation and church attendance are dropping fast, especially among younger generations. But here’s the twist—belief in God and the importance of religion in daily life are actually holding steady or even rising. Looks like you can lose the label and skip the pews, but still keep the faith! #Religion #LatinAmerica #Faith

Birmingham pastor inspires with purpose-driven action

Rev. Dr. Thomas Beavers isn’t just talking about purpose—he’s living it. When SNAP benefits were cut, his church, New Rising Star, jumped in to feed over 1,400 families, reaching nearly 4,500 people in Birmingham’s Eastlake community. He says knowing your purpose is key to moving forward, and his leadership proves it: expanding campuses, boosting financial literacy, and supporting families beyond Sunday service. It’s a reminder that when local leaders step up, real change happens. How do you see purpose shaping our neighborhoods? #Religion #Birmingham #CommunityImpact
