The Christian band Newsboys has released a statement responding to serious allegations against their former lead singer, Michael Tait, expressing devastation, anger, and support for the alleged victims.

One of the most influential biblical scholars and theologians of the past century has died.

Walter Brueggemann passed away peacefully on June 5, 2025, at the age of 92, his official website confirmed. He is survived by his wife, Tia, his sons, James and John, and their families.

The order that Noelle Drimmie and her family thought would never came was given at the end of the school day. 

“We sort of went into adrenaline mode and we put those bags in the car,” she recalls. “You get cash, you get gas, and you just hope for the best.”
