As Cyber Monday 2025 dawns, millions of Americans are already distracted at work—new data shows the average employee will lose 142 minutes (and employers $2.4 billion nationwide) to online shopping today, while in Florida the frenzy is hitting harder than most because the Sunshine State just posted the highest 90+ day credit-card delinquency rate in America (11.7%), driven by crushing homeowners-insurance hikes and lingering hurricane debt that have thousands of families drowning financially even before the Christmas bills arrive; yet in the middle of this consumer chaos, believers are being called to something radically different—Heart for Lebanon’s largest giving day of the year launches right now, with every dollar doubled to deliver food, trauma care, winter heat, and gospel hope to over 1.5 million refugees and broken Lebanese families still suffering from economic collapse and war; across the country in West Virginia, a National Guard family is pleading for fervent prayer after 28-year-old Sgt. Ethan Carver was critically injured in a training accident, leaving him on a ventilator with severe brain and spinal damage while his wife and two young children cling to faith and a viral prayer movement that has already raised over $180,000; amid the noise, respected apologetics professor Dr. Timothy Paul Jones has released the perfect antidote for a skeptical generation—his brand-new book Understanding Christian Apologetics, a clear, compassionate, and deeply biblical guide that equips everyday Christians to confidently defend the resurrection, the reliability of Scripture, and the problem of evil without sounding arrogant or academic; and while all this unfolds, the world keeps spinning with deadly lake-effect snow shutting down I-70, Middle East ceasefire talks collapsing again, Congress racing an 11-day deadline to avoid a government shutdown, and local headlines ranging from tonight’s controversial rezoning vote to Marshall University’s stunning upset—reminding us that in a single Monday we can choose between mindless spending and eternal investing, between despair and defiant hope, between scrolling past suffering and stopping to pray, give, and stand for truth.
