Not only does becoming a parent change one’s life—it also changes one’s brain, and for the better! New research is demonstrating that fathers undergo biological changes both before and after the birth of their first child, including neurological and material changes in their brain (Washington Post, June 18, 2026).

God promised that Abraham’s descendants would be richly blessed around the globe. One of his grandsons, Ephraim, progenitor of the modern-day British-descended peoples, was prophesied to become a “multitude of nations” (Genesis 48:19). That prophecy came to pass in the 1800s—a time when the sun never set on the British Empire. Since then, that empire has slowly dwindled in power, might, reach, and influence.

Have you ever found yourself waiting in line, online, or for something big in your life to come down the line, and had to remind yourself that, whatever the situation, the hoped-for object would be “worth the wait”? No one likes to wait (especially when we’re young), but it’s very nearly a universal human experience that we all have to wait for something.

Before He confused mankind’s languages, God noted that nothing would be impossible for a unified humanity (Genesis 11:1–9)—and our modern era is beginning to reveal such capabilities. Geneticists have recently been using CRISPR technology to remove and replace what they deem to be defective gene sequences in plants and animals (Deutsche Welle, June 16, 2026). Gene sequences can be introduced that make plants resistant to drought or mold and increase crop yields.
