I’ve been thinking a lot about how churches have been using hyper-polished contemporary music to attract people. What it what they actually want and need is radical anti-polish, and songs that are more like homemade casseroles? @christianitytoday.com www.christianitytoday.com/2025/11/god-...

A huge loss for CT. Daniel knows more about the institution than anybody, I bet. An expert on the many denominations out there. A solver of editorial problems. A safe person for abuse victims to talk to. A great colleague. Going to miss working alongside him every day.

Hank Green has made a living riding the algorithmic waves of the social web. He joins @cwarzel.bsky.social to discuss the early promise of the internet—and what went wrong. Listen to the inaugural episode of “Galaxy Brain”:

I couldn't ask for a better person to cover the highs and lows of the evangelical news landscape alongside than Daniel. He has contributed so much to CT as a caring editor, careful investigator, creative collaborator, and our in-house historian. Grateful for all his work and gutted at this news.
