NEW INTERSECTIONS – "Bryan Johnson vs. Bill Furlong: Renew the Mind, Don’t Worship the Body," by Anna B. Vollema, PhD (Cand.)
https://www.cbhd.org/intersections/bryan-johnson-vs-bill-furlong-renew-the-mind-dont-worship-the-body

Living in a world brimming with brokenness, sin, and injustice is not an easy task. Bryan Johnson's bodily worship works as a form of escapism that fills his days with a socially isolating regimen that provides a false sense of control. Yet, as Katie Drummond points out, Bryan Johnson is going to die.

From the latest issue of Dignitas – "Searching for Sleep: Sleep Hygiene as a Biomedical and Theological Problem" by Todd T. W. Daly, PhD
https://www.cbhd.org/dignitas-articles/searching-for-sleep-sleep-hygiene-as-a-biomedical-and-theological-problem

One main goal of this project is to offer a theological understanding of sleep and sleeplessness, framing these, and our practices surrounding them, in God’s divine economy. Part of this involves teasing out the differences between sleep hygiene as a component of the contemporary medical understanding of insomnia and the pursuit of sleep as a spiritual discipline, or thick practice. Indeed, a Christian perspective on sleep will acknowledge sleep as God’s good gift as part of our createdness. Sleep also gives us daily opportunities to place our trust in God’s goodness and protection while also reminding us of our own finitude and final sleep. Moreover, a Christian perspective will also attempt to articulate the deeper purposes (teloi) of sleep and sleeplessness with respect to the core Christian claims of the Incarnation of Jesus Christ and our own bodily resurrection secured by him. While these theological realities do not necessarily reject sleep hygienic practices, such theological realities do place sleep hygiene in its proper context.

F. Matthew Eppinette | Legalizing the practice, even with “guardrails,” changes the way a society thinks and acts

10/30/2025

This INTERSECTIONS article, "God’s Sovereignty in Barrenness" (https://www.cbhd.org/intersections/gods-sovereignty-in-barrenness), is mentioned in a recent Christianity Today article, "There’s No Shame in Talking About Pregnancy Loss" (https://www.christianitytoday.com/2025/10/theres-no-shame-in-talking-about-pregnancy-loss/)

Infertility inevitably leads to a personal wrestling with the Lord. The first command God gave humanity was “be fruitful and multiply” (Gen 1:28, ESV). Therefore, the desire for children is interwoven into how we were made and how we are wired.[1] The three wives of the patriarchs of the Old Testament responded in various ways to infertility and provide us with lessons we can apply to our lives today, especially those who are experiencing infertility or pregnancy loss. Their stories show that God is sovereign and that his promise is fulfilled through his divine intervention.
