Shining the Light of Truth in a Hostile World
Margot Kyd knows the consequences of taking a stand for faith when silence or compromise would be easier. As we approach the Christmas season and are reminded of its true meaning, Margot's story will challenge us to consider whether we are willing to take a stand for truth if it might cost us everything we have worked hard to attain.

Evil, Despair, Hope and Redemption at Work
Our Faith and Work Ministry recently interviewed Keith Watanabe, a Deputy District Attorney with the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office. He works in a specialized unit that prosecutes domestic violence and child abuse crimes. I hope you find his insights into issues of faith as incredible as I did!
How do you integrate your faith with your work?
What helps me is that I have a correct biblical understanding of the things that I see so I can properly process and understand it in light of what God has told us about the world. For example, I see the effects of sin. I see the state of human misery in which this world finds itself. This world is imperfect – it is a fallen and broken world in which people commit crimes. People hurt each other and they do so for their own pleasure, self-interest, and greed. They hurt and exploit children for their own desires.
So people ask me how I do what I do – go to work every day and see the horrible things that I see. The reason why I can is because I know the Bible has an answer for all of the things that I see. Read the full interview.
