Going to church isn’t just good for your child’s soul. New 70-country research says it may be good for their mental health, too. A 2026 study published in Developmental Science found that societies emphasizing religious faith in childrearing and interdependence tended to experience lower levels or slower increases of anxiety disorders among children and adolescents. For Boundless Online Church, a digital outreach ministry of First Assembly Memphis in Memphis, Tennessee, the f

Something is shifting in Gen Z faith. But spiritual openness is only the beginning: parents help turn curiosity into roots. The 2026 conversation about a possible Gen Z religious revival includes church attendance, Bible reading, prayer, online faith conversations, and a renewed interest in Jesus. Boundless Online Church, an outreach ministry of First Assembly Memphis, serves this moment through the Boundless Family Faith Library: Christ-centered resources helping Memphis fam

TikTok is not raising your kids. New research confirms what you’ve hoped all along: when faith gets personal, your children still turn to you. A new UCLA-affiliated Future of Faith report, released August 18, 2026, found that young people trust in-person faith leaders first, parents and caregivers next, and religious peers after that. Online content can inspire them, but online searches and AI rank at the bottom for trusted spiritual guidance. That’s encouraging news for tire

Your child’s closest confidant can’t hug them, can’t grieve with them, and can’t point them to Jesus the way a real person can. That matters in 2026, when children and teens are increasingly using AI chatbots for entertainment, advice, comfort, and companionship. To protect your child from AI chatbots and digital addiction, begin with three priorities: stay involved, set clear boundaries, and strengthen real relationships.

Your children’s ministry doesn’t need another fog machine. It needs a trusted adult who knows your child’s name. That’s the heart of the 2026 children’s ministry trends conversation. Across churches, families, and ministry networks, KidMin is moving toward relational discipleship, intergenerational community, sensory-friendly spaces, wise digital support, and trauma-informed volunteer care. Boundless Online Church is part of this conversation through the Boundless Family Fait

When missiles fall and diplomatic threats rise, Christians are called to more than panic or partisan noise. We are called to truth, prayer, courage, protection of the vulnerable, and the patient work of peace. Yes, but peacemakers lower the temperature through steady, truthful, courageous action, not by pretending that danger is small. In Kyiv, that means protecting civilians and pursuing serious negotiations while Ukraine faces another deadly Russian missile and drone barrag

The day begins feeding us almost immediately. Before the first conversation, notification, deadline, headline, or worry has a chance to shape your thoughts, you can receive something better: the steady, life-giving truth of God. What Does It Mean to Feast on the Word of God Before the Day Feeds You? To feast on God’s Word means to receive Scripture as essential spiritual nourishment, not merely information. A morning Bible habit helps you begin the day attentive to God, gro

Uncertainty can make the day feel like rising water. Before the phone rings, the news arrives, or the responsibilities begin, God offers a steadier place to stand. What Does the Memphis Bluff Teach Us About Standing Firm? Memphis’s bluff above the Mississippi River gives us a helpful picture: standing firm does not mean life stops moving. It means our footing is secure because God has lifted us from despair, placed us on the Rock, and called us to remain steadfast in Christ

The short answer is this: sanctification is God’s work of setting us apart for Himself and progressively making us more like Jesus through the Holy Spirit. It matters on an ordinary Tuesday because following Christ is not limited to church services; it shapes our thoughts, words, choices, relationships, work, and even the way we walk to coffee. Why does sanctification matter on a normal Tuesday morning? A Christian life is not measured only by what happens during worship. T

The Bible gives us a hopeful but grounded answer: God still awakens hearts by the Holy Spirit, but genuine revival must lead beyond an emotional moment into repentance, biblical truth, holy living, community, and mission. Why is Gen Z experiencing revival? Maybe it is because Gen Z is tired of polished performances that never reach the soul. Across campu
