Social Impact

Spot-on, often satirical, always insightful, contributing editor of The American Mind and mother of a brood Peachy Keenan argues that the only way we can save our families, ourselves, and the world—even California!—is by embracing our inner domestic extremists, and sweeping failed notions of third wave feminism and identity politics nonsense into the garbage can of history.

The Habsburg family ruled central Europe since the early medieval times to World War I, but they still exist as one of the most prestigious Austrian families. To keep themselves in such high positions, the Habsburgs had to develop unique strategies to fight their political enemies. They wanted to rule the world and saw themselves as the only dynasty worthy of such divine right. To keep the family pure, they often married within their family, which resulted in a very weak genetic pool and many mental and physical problems.

Christian organizations have come to be known mostly for what we're against. And all too often, that includes being against each other. But amid growing distrust of religious institutions, Christ-centered nonprofits have a unique opportunity to link arms and collectively pursue a calling higher than any one organization's agenda. Rooting for Rivals reveals how your ministry can multiply its impact by cooperating rather than competing with others, modeling Christlike love and generosity in the process.

A theory of change is a planning, participation, and evaluation process that companies, philanthropists, nonprofits, governments, and groups go through to promote social change.

How has the term and practice evolved? And what are its major setbacks and limitations?

We live in an anxious age. Long-held certainties, cherished beliefs, and social trust are crumbling. Don’t expect things to get better. For too long we have taken our Christian heritage—the heritage upon which America was built—for granted.

What will take its place is a despotism—and a new paganism, worse than the old, because it will be based on a hatred of Christianity.

For many centuries, the world of Islam was at the forefront of human achievement: the foremost military and economic power in the world, the leader in the arts and sciences of civilization.

We all say, “Don’t judge a book by its cover,” but in real life, judgment rarely stops there. It creeps into the margins—into the lovers we choose, the friends we keep, and the stories whispered behind closed doors. Reputation isn’t just a reflection of who we are; it’s a tangled web woven from every relationship, every scandal, every rumor that follows us like a shadow. JD Arden pulls back the curtain on the invisible forces that shape our social standing, revealing how the people we love (and those who love us) become unwitting architects of our public persona. This isn’t ...
