Jarrid Wilson, pastor at Harvest Christian Fellowship and founder of the non-profit Anthem of Hope, posted a tweet Wednesday.

“Everyone should post a picture of their kids and use the hashtag #greatjoys,” he said in his Tweet.

“Children are our future, and a blessing from God, not a burden that so many people — specifically people who are only focused on their own achievement and goals — make them out to be,” Wilson told Faithwire.

Milano had previously talked about her past abortions on her podcast “Sorry Not Sorry.” In the 1990s, she said she had two abortions months apart from each other.

She added that abortion “was absolutely the right choice for me” because she was “not ready” to be a parent.

“My life would be completely lacking all its great joys,” she continued. “I would never had been free to be myself — and that’s what this fight is all about: freedom.”

But Wilson said children aren’t a…

A report from Vermont’s Roman Catholic Church has revealed “credible and substantiated” allegations of sexual abuse of minors by 40 priests in nearly 70 years.

The report says none of the priests are still working in ministry and many are dead, the Associated Press reports.

“While most of these allegations took place at least a generation ago, the numbers are still staggering,” said Bishop Christopher Coyne, who leads the Roman Catholic Diocese of Burlington, which covers the entire state.

All of the allegations except one occurred before 2000, according to the report.

The report came after Coyne commissioned the investigation when the Vermont attorney general’s office began its own investigation of abuse at a now-closed Catholic orphanage in the state.

Coyne said the abuse “has been our family secret” and that it is time for the truth to surface so families can begin to heal.

“Family secrets can be toxic,” Coyne said during a news conference at the diocese’s South Burlington headquarters. “Harmful past experiences, unspoken, unaddressed and known only by a few, fester like neglected wounds.”

The report investigated the records of 52 priests in the state, but the seven-member committee could only substantiate allegations against 40 priests.

Committee member and abuse survivor John Mahoney said Rev. Edward…

The newest face of the acapella group Pentatonix is a former minister’s kid who wasted no time in finding a home church when he moved to Los Angeles to join the quintet.

That church, subsequently, wasted little time in getting him to join its worship team.

Matt Sallee has been the bass singing “deep voice” in Pentatonix since 2017, when he joined it and began touring the U.S. and then the world with the famous group. And although Pentatonix remains his primary gig – he’s on the road six months out of the year – he sings with the worship team at Expression 58 church in Glendale, Calif., when home.

That worship team, known simply as E58 Worship, released its inaugural worship album, Make Way, this month. It was recorded live. 

Sallee grew up singing and helping lead worship in churches. His father is a music minister. 

“I actually believe that God sent me to this church,” Sallee told Christian Headlines, referencing Expression 58. “… I remember walking in the church and just feeling this huge rushing wind of the Holy Spirit. It’s something I can’t even explain. It was so incredible. And I just remember watching, worshipping and being so immediately engaged in worship and free from all stigmas of what worship really means.

“I really didn’t necessarily want to be a part of the worship team at first because, you know,…
