One of our aims for the May/June issue is to help you engage with those hidden in plain sight. We also hope our cover story from Mark R. Fairchild and Jordan K. Monson gives you a new angle on the apostle Paul and helps you read his letters in a new way. Elsewhere, Ericka Andersen brings a feature on the state of women and alcoholism. There are likely women in your church who have drinking struggles but don’t know how to ask for help—and perhaps feel shame at the prospect. Also, read one woman’s account of navigating church conflict and a report that helps us to think through how we might engage Christians with ADHD. God’s plan for the world is to be accomplished through the church of Jesus Christ. We pray our work here through these stories can be used by him to continue building it.
