We wanted to let you know that the server hosting Worthy News and another 30+ websites has gone down, and it may be 24-48 hours before it's fully restored. Our team is working through what's honestly been a real mess behind the scenes, and while we're hopeful to have things back up tomorrow, we don't have a firm timeline yet. We appreciate your patience as we work through this, and we'd covet your prayers — both for a swift, clean resolution and for wisdom for our team as we sort it out. Thank you for standing with us.
