otaylor+FollowDeacon’s Hero Move Earns Him a New TruckTalk about a real-life action hero!

Matthew Barnes+FollowAre You Superstitious? Science Spills the TeaTurns out, Americans aren’t just about ghosts and God—there are four main types of supernatural beliefs, from classic religious vibes to witchcraft and lucky charms. Younger folks are way more into things like spells and crystals, while higher education seems to zap the magic out of us. Also, women and Latino/Hispanic people are more likely to believe in some of these supernatural forces. Wild how much our backgrounds shape what we believe! #Religion #SupernaturalBeliefs #Witchcraft186Share

Dr. Robert Barnes+FollowWhy Purpose Isn’t Always PrettyMin. Ian Wharton just dropped some real talk: you’re not an accident, and your purpose was set before you even showed up. He says it’s not about having a flawless five-year plan—it’s about showing up, even when life feels off-script. The process is messy, painful, and sometimes lonely, but it’s all part of the prep. Your tears? They’re watering your next season. Don’t chase the image—chase your assignment. If you’re still standing, you’re right where you need to be. Purpose isn’t always pretty, but it’s always worth it. #Religion #PurposeDriven #FaithJourney70Share
