7.31.26 Recent Islamist attacks, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and listener comments

Through depression and doubt

Author Ryan Bomberger opens up about a depression battle that tested his faith—part of a wider conversation on adoption, his birth mother, and surviving serious illness, all while maintaining his conviction that every life has purpose. The Amplified Bible, from The Lockman Foundation, is designed to bring out the full depth of meaning in Scripture by expanding key words and phrases from the original languages. Its unique amplifications and definitions add clarity for reading and study. New TwoTone editions use soft gray typography to distinguish amplified words from the main text, creating a cleaner page and a smoother reading experience.
