26 Jun 2025

Tyler Blevins, famously known as 'Ninja’, one of the world’s top video game streamers, has opened up about a personal journey of faith. During a recent livestream, he shared that he and his wife Jess now attend church every Sunday and are growing in their relationship with God and Jesus. 'I’m just trying to be a better person’, he explained, responding to criticism of his gaming habits. Acknowledging past flaws such as a quick temper and moments of hypocrisy, Blevins says he’s striving to live more biblically and to genuinely walk the Christian path. He also has stepped away from toxic gaming environments and resisted the urge to retaliate against critics. Earlier this year, he made headlines for affirming his belief by declaring, 'Jesus is King’.

Blevins’ candid testimony highlights a growing trend of influencers boldly embracing and sharing their Christian faith.

'Christ is my logic', says scientist with world’s highest IQ

26 Jun 2025

YoungHoon Kim, the man officially recognised as having the highest IQ in the world - measured at an astonishing 276 - has boldly declared his Christian faith. A renowned expert in neuroscience and artificial intelligence, Kim publicly proclaimed, 'Jesus Christ is God, the way and the truth and the life.' His statement, shared on social media, reflected not just heartfelt belief but also deep intellectual conviction: 'Christ is my logic’, he affirmed. Kim holds a theology degree from Yonsei University and describes theology as 'the ultimate discipline of all fields of study’. He has also articulated how science and faith converge, referencing theories from quantum physics and consciousness studies to argue that death may be a transition rather than an end. Despite his status as one of the world's most brilliant minds, Kim insists that science and faith are allies in the quest for truth. His desire is to use his global platform to point others to God, exemplifying a humble intellect submitted to Christ.

UK must ‘actively prepare’ for a war on home soil

26 Jun 2025

The UK’s newly released National Security Strategy warns that the nation must actively prepare for potential warfare on home soil. Citing escalating global instability, including threats from Iran and the ongoing war in Ukraine, it calls for 'national resilience exercises' involving the public, businesses, and academia, aiming to build preparedness against cyberattacks, sabotage, and hostile actions from states like Russia, Iran, and China. Cabinet minister Pat McFadden stressed the need for Britain to be 'clear-eyed and hard-edged' in facing these threats, while Keir Starmer pledged to increase defence spending to 5% of GDP by 2035. Critics, such as Priti Patel, argue that the government lacks a detailed roadmap for defence spending targets. Nonetheless, the strategy invokes the wartime spirit of national unity and determination, urging a whole-of-society response to future challenges and affirming optimism grounded in the resilience of the British people.

Starmer to retreat on benefit cuts to win over Labour rebels

26 Jun 2025

Keir Starmer faces internal unrest over controversial welfare reforms, with up to 120 Labour MPs backing an amendment to block the legislation. The proposed bill would tighten eligibility for Personal Independence Payments (PIP) and limit sickness-related Universal Credit, changes critics say could harm thousands of vulnerable people. The Government insists the system is broken and must be reformed, aiming for royal assent by November to meet budget targets. Facing growing opposition, ministers are reportedly open to concessions, though details remain uncertain. Shadow ministers say the reforms should align with Labour values and protect the most vulnerable. Some officials suggest amendments may be considered later, while others expect the bill to pass narrowly without changes. With political pressure mounting and intense behind-the-scenes negotiations under way, the outcome may determine not only the fate of the reforms but also Starmer’s ability to hold his party together on sensitive social policy. Breaking news: the Government is set to do a U-turn on this policy. See
