New Location, New Article

Dear CSJ Readers,

The Christian School Journal blog has a new home on Ghost, and this is the first message you will receive from it.

I made the move for a simple reason: It offers a better reading experience. Nothing of substance changes. The focus of the blog remains the same.

Before anything else, I want to thank you for reading. You have given me something a writer values above nearly all else, which is your attention. That you would set aside time from full and demanding lives to read what I have written is a gift I do not take lightly, and I am grateful for it.

Inviting Guest Writers

Thank you again for reading. I look forward to continuing the conversation from this new home.

Blessings to you!

Pigs' Brains, Scrambled Eggs, and the Eyes of Faith

By Dr. Barrett Mosbacker When I was a young boy, my father prepared a hearty breakfast, placing before me a plate filled with “scrambled eggs,” toast, and bacon. It was delicious, and being a growing boy, I asked for seconds. In fact, if my recollection is correct, I ate three

Leading Through Fiery Furnaces

By Dr. Barrett Mosbacker April 24, 2026 Life can be hard. Jesus told his disciples plainly, “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). Christians are
