Our world is filled with both brokenness and beauty. Some days the news confronts us with stories of loss, confusion, and conflict; other days, we are lifted by stories of courage, kindness, and hope. STRONG POINTS is where Drs. Jerry and Cristie Jo Johnston meet these moments head-on, offering biblical insight that steadies hearts in hard times and celebrates the reminders of God’s faithfulness. In addition to addressing current world events, STRONG POINTS also shares timeless biblical truths that speak into the daily walk of every believer in Christ, encouraging reflection, renewing hope, and connecting life’s challenges with the unchanging promises of God’s Word.

The purpose of STRONG POINTS is to help you discern the events, cultural trends, published works, and spiritual challenges of our day with clarity and conviction. In these STRONG POINTS, the Johnstons go beyond surface commentary to provide theological depth, historical perspective, and practical application. More than news analysis, STRONG POINTS speaks to the everyday realities of following Jesus—strengthening faith not only in turbulent cultural moments but also in the ordinary rhythms of daily life. The Johnstons’ mission is simple yet urgent: to help you construct a Christian Strong faith through Jesus Christ—a faith resilient enough to withstand the turbulence of culture and confident enough to embrace the blessings God provides.
